What on Earth is ‘cork rubber’? Not your description I know, but I’ve never heard of such a thing!

I saw a Martin D-41 that was on my tech's bench that got blown over at a farmers market gig while it was on one of those A-Frame stands. That's enough of a deterrent for me. YMMV.

Amen, amen, amen to that! Back in the ‘70s my Gibson 335 was knocked off an A-frame stand at a gig by an official who’d drunk a beer too many - it took the standard Gibson headstock-break. Expensive repair. My experience of A-frame stands is that ‘sharp plastic bits’ which ‘destroy my guitar’ are the least of an owner’s worries!
Nowadays I use Hercules GS414B stands at home and out at gigs - stable, bomb-proof, and hold the guitar absolutely rock-solid. No ‘sharp plastic bits’ to ‘destroy my guitar’, and no ‘cork rubber’!
The usual disclaimers apply......IMHO, YMMV etc.
