Learned this the hard way with my first acoustic guitar, an Applause shallow bowl AE 38. Applause is the Korean made version of Ovation guitars. The wood top expanded much more than the glass reinforced plastic bowl during a summer day when I forgot that it was in the car. Top pulled up away from bracing. Ruined the guitar.
