Proline FS100AE Foldable A-frame Stand for Acoustic and Electric Guitars

I own 3, buying 3 more. The Nitrocelulose Caveat!

The stands are great, sturdy, and priced to move. The Proline website warns the following, "Foam pads on the stand should not be used with guitars featuring nitrocellulose lacquer." I own a Martin with nitrocellulose finish. It was in the stand for about a year, it never caused any damage to the guitar. --- However, that being said, I spoke to Michael and Tyler at Proline, and they said that there was at least one complaint, and it prompted Proline to install the above warning. I wonder if putting a small plastic patch covered with a small washcloth barrier between the pads and the guitar would help? In any case, there was no clear answer to the anomaly of the mystery complaint. --- Michael (a 13 year employee), said he heard one complaint, and that it was the reason for the website warning. He explained that he hear two explanations: a wear issue, or a chemical reaction, but admitted that the reports are unconfirmed. Tyler explained that he seemed to remember something about the nitrocellulose finish was stained, but this report is also unconfirmed. Tyler's commentary of the stain, and Michael's commentary of chemical reaction could be a point of agreement, but certainly not a cause for alarm. --- With 3 guitar stands in use I have not had any issues except that I need more of them. So, I'm off to the store to purchase another few stands. I think they're great!
