Last week I picked up a Squier Thinline Telecaster with two humbuckers. Funny, because I played this guitar in the store last year and it was still there last week. Meant to be! It rocks. The thing is, I bought it in my humid homeland of Oklahoma and brought it back to my dry home of Colorado. I don't know the RH of either the store or my music room, but the guy at the guitar store told me I should wait a while before doing a setup because the wood will contract in the dryness. He's more of a salesman than anything else, so I thought I'd check here. Is this accurate and if so, how long is a reasonable time to wait? I can see the dryness potentially causing some fret sprout, what else could change setup-wise?
I'll probably take it to a pro so they can cut the nut for .10s (it's pinging with .09s already) and do a full setup. Obviously antsy and excited to get this done!
The guitar has a maple neck and, depending on the ad, either a popular or soft maple body. Here's one such ad on the guitar:
