this is a sign of LOW humidity right?

it's a cheap acoustic that is literally falling apart....a bolt came out of the neck (it's bolt on) and i put it back it...the bridge is pulling off of the top....it stays on a stand in my bedroom and it's about 75 degrees usually. the action feels a little lower and it definitely does buzz more.

either the action or the fact that the guitar is cheap.. as you stated.. if i were you i'd save up like, 4 or 500 bucks and get a decent acoustic.

i've got a taylor coming in july, but i dont want this one breaking, it's gonna be my raised B guitar :p

anyway, it didn't used to buzz, and now it does, so i think the humidity did something to it...it's been in new york city and just came back to ohio in may and it's started buzzing...
