I think a guitar that goes to pot just sitting there was heading that way anyhow and maybe you would not notice the degredation if you are playing every day.

The actual playing of the guitar changes the tension of the strings, I am not sure why but, it breaks the constant tension on the guitar. I am talking 3 to six months and over, Just go to any guitar shop and ask them. It only takes 20 minutes of playing a guitar every couple of months to prevent it. Leave a guitar tuned in a closet for 3 years and the odds are the bridge will be pulled up and you will have a hump in your guitar.
