Has anyone else here had the unfortunate incident of finding a rectangle mark on the back of their Guild after leaving it on a "A" frame type guitar stand?
I nearly had a heart attack when I noticed this discoloring on the rosewood back of my mint D55. After reading up on this, I found out to my dismay that the rubber pad on which the guitar rests chemically reacts to nitrocellulose. Since all my other guitars have a poly finish, I've never had such an issue. Thank god I noticed it in time and was able to buff it out with Eterna Shine before it permanently disfigured my guitar... I've read about other mishaps that have ruined the nitro finish such as leaving the capo on the head stock, using certain straps, changing temperatures, etc. I had no idea nitro was so fickle!
Has anyone else had an unfortunate incident with their nitro finish? What else should I look out for?
