I’ve been reading a lot of posts saying that stands with tubing can damage the nitro finish. I have a Gibson Les Paul Special SL, and it has some kind of coating, but I’m not sure if it’s nitro. I think it’s from the late nineties. I did some research, and someone mentioned the finish could be polyester resin. Will stands with tubing damage this kind of finish?
Honestly, I wouldn’t put a Gibson on a stand. If you can, hang it on the wall.

I’d love to, but I’m renting right now and can’t hang it up.
I really like the Hercules brand stands. They’re solid and reliable.
I’d never put my Les Paul in a stand because of how easily that neck can snap. I always keep mine in the case.
