Good call on that Cougar. No synthetic materials to eat at your finish.
Hercules implies its cushions are non-reactive. But who knows?
My archtop’s finish reacted to the foam on a guitar stand. Fortunately, my
luthier was able to fix it.
I think my five cases would fit on the Hercules. But if I’m going to case my guitars,
I have a big closet for cases. I wouldn’t keep the cases on the stand.
I’ll probably encase the Les Paul and put it in the closet.
I can keep the Jazzmaster on the gtr stand in a gigbag.
I can also put the Les Paul Special/P90’s in a nice soft-shell case I have
and leave it on the stand. It’s my main playing guitar these days.
