It doesn't look quite as big with everything else around it, but it looks good next to his collection.

Interesting to have a humidifier under your guitars. I'd say high humidity would rust your strings in no time right? And possibly be bad for the wood as well

Negative. You want humidity, otherwise the necks dry out and warp.

A lot of music stores have their acoustic guitars in closed rooms which basically act as giant humidors. Some players go as far as having a humidifier in each guitar case.

As long as the humidifier isn't spewing directly on a guitar, you want one in the room.

Strings will rust over time, but they'd do that just about anywhere where there is moisture in the air, humidifier or not.
