and something i learnt traveling but not really that relevant in this country since we never get "that" cold.... heheh is that if you leave your warm cetrally heated house with your guitar in a case.... when you get to gig.... don't just open your case all the way.... open it a crack first ..... and allow the guitar to slowly get the colder air onto it..... but as i say it's seldom that cold here ....
It does get cold enough to cause tuning problems. I have seen several people (some of whom have enough experience that they should know better) go and tune up outside in the cool of the evening, then walk into a warmer room and get up on stage and find they're out of tune or their guitar needs retuning all the time.
Another reason for letting the guitar acclimatise - no matter what the conditions.
The other good reasoning for opening the case just a little is to maintain protection against knocks, spilled drinks etc.
