I got this pretty cool 3 guitar stand a few months back - it's a Warwick Rockstand 3:
I've noticed that the foam they put on this thing isn't the greatest, and after 3-4 months it doesn't spring back or reset - it stays permanently mashed in. Now I probably would just return this thing, but I really like the stand and I'm assuming it's some cheap overseas foam they put on it that will probably give me cancer or whatever.
What I'm wondering is this - have any of you modified a stand like this before? I was thinking of trying a different foam, and maybe wrapping it with some cloth or something to protect my guitars. I have this cool Dunlop microfiber cloth for wiping down my instruments - I don't know if you could buy this stuff, but it seems like it might be a good covering for the stand.
I was looking at some webpage yesterday with someone's guitar collection, and an old guitar stand with foam rubber breaking down (due to heat, being generally cheap, shoddy product) and left a bunch of adhesive junk on the back of a very nice Stratocaster neck. Definitely not cool stuff in my book.
