Is it true that a foam covered guitar stand should not be used for any guitar that has a Nitrose finish and if true.. why and what would one recommend for an option.
Nitrose sounds like a disease, lolI’m not even sure “nitrose” is a word? I think you meant nitrocellulose?

You can wrap those stands with cotton t shirts and it will protect the finish.

Cork however is safe for everything. Stands with cork can be expensive.
Sheets of thin cork can be found in business supply and hobby stores. Soaking it in water for a few hours makes it pliable enough to form to supports. If allowed to dry while wrapped to the part you want it on, it will hold that shape. Then a touch of glue and ...

Nitro safe guitar stand...
The stand photo is the exact same one that I use. I did find out that my"other guitar" ( I got jumped on for mentioning the make) does have the nitro finish so thank you for the information . I considered wrapping a cloth material around the contact points of the stand but I like your solution better. I recently changed strings on my guitar going from 10s back to 9s and now the fifth string is buzzing when on the 2nd free. Open it's clean.Higher up the neck be it's clean. But as I said ..on the 2bd fret it's making contact somewhere. I'm thinking a ever so slight raising of the bridge would solve this issue. What cha think.Some of the materials used on some stands will stain some finishes.

That will allow you to address the issue, instead of raising the action to accommodate the fault.The stand photo is the exact same one that I use.

Yes, that's a König & Meyer that I glued cork to. I didn’t use cloth because it permits the instrument to slip.The stand photo is the exact same one that I use.
