Recently purchased a Gretsch steel body resonator guitar with aluminum drum. I'm assuming that the steel has at least 14% chromium to make it stainless. But I'm ignorant about the metal composition of all the bits and bobs that holds everything together. It has a wood neck, fretboard and headstock. Gretsch unfortunately offers no recommendations on humidification. I'm guessing nothing on this guitar is susceptible to corrosion (other than the strings) so I'm ready to humidify the case for the sake of the neck but just wanted to check with you guys first.

What say you, good sirs?
