+1 for Hercules too, I have 5 of the floor stands. However, all of these floor stands have gone sticky to the touch on the clutch grip handles so I reckon we need to monitor the peg head grip material irrespective of manufacturer's claims regarding the inert nature of the deployed padded material.

At the risk of seeming to pile on, Hercules is the way to go. No marks on the finish of my nitro Gibson after 3-1/2 years on its Herc!

Curing could be part of the issue...if the guitar were very new, but it's not. New lacquer is soft and will dent, which is different than a chemical reaction, but may look similar at first glance. I'm not a finish expert and can't fully explain it, but some lacquer hardens well over time, while some remains softer (more easily dented) than you would expect. That could be part of the problem here.
PVC is not necessarily a problem. It is vinyl products intended to remain soft and flexible that contain high concentrations of harmful plasticizers. Martin's Boltaron binding is PVC, but it is rigid, not like the old vinyl straps notorious for damaging lacquer. Their black pick guards are vinyl as well. I have never had Hercules stands or hangers react my lacquer instruments. That's where I would start. If they cause damage, then I suspect it due to soft lacquer rather than a chemical reaction. Vegetable tanned leather, natural cork, and cotton cloth should be fine as well. |

Another vote for string swings hangers. I've been using them for years on nitro guitars and never had any problems.

I do that but with cotton tshirts that I tear into strips for my 5-guitar stands and I also use the ultimate guitar stand without any wrap...

I bought the starfish stand from these guys in anticipation of my nitro finished LL56 Yamaha that is coming this summer. In the meantime I’m using it with my RainSong. It is an incredible product. High quality and very sturdy. Both the headstock holder and the foam on the bottom of the stand where the body rests are nitro safe. They have wall hangers and other products that are nitro safe... Good luck Cheers

At $23, the Axe Hugger isn't cheap for what it is, but it looks like it would get the job done. They have different versions to fit different kinds of stands.
