Ken, Thanks. That said, I must confess that I looked for a Gibson J45 acoustic guitar for over thirty years, for general playing and enjoyment, before I found the one for me with just the right combination of action and tone, and it did happen to be in the humidor at my local GC!

But the next part of how I paid for it confirms your above comment. After I had decided to purchase the guitar, knowing the local weather, I waited until a bad weather day, when the humidity was completely fouled up. I then went in, and, sure enough, it was having its temporary effect on all stock. I showed the inexperienced salesman the "tongue lift" that, "You know, I think I can work with it if you can give me a good deal." He gave me a significant discount, and I paid cash before he changed his mind. Of course, once home and properly humidified and set up, any "tongue lift" went right away, and I continue to enjoy the guitar.
