Will my guitar's finish tarnish and fade if I leave it out on a stand?

Not really, unless you live in a very hot climate and you have the guitar facing direct sunlight for years! Nitrocellulose finishes are perhaps more sensitive to this than thick polyurethane finishes but in our experience, normal day to day keeping of guitars on stands will not cause them to fade in any significant way. It is worth noting that, in order to properly look after any instrument, they should not be kept too close to any windows, radiators or intense heat. If this includes sunlight where you are, we suggest moving the guitar.

I've heard that some stands can eat away at guitars with nitrocellulose finishes. Is this true?

This used to be true, yes, though it happens less and less these days. A safe bet for holding nitrocellulose guitars is a Hercules stand. Hercules publicly state that their stands do not harm nitro finishes. Also, a simple piece of undyed cloth between the stand and the guitar (attach it with something other than elastic bands or it'll defeat the point of the exercise!) will also provide what you need.

Are guitar stands worth it?

Yes, absolutely. Whether in the home, studio or on stage, its important to have somewhere to place your guitar when you're not playing it.

How do guitar stands work?

Basic A Frame style stands feature a slot to hold the lower bout of your guitar, with the back propped against the stand. Taller styles of stand usually feature some kind of space or mechanism to hold the neck or headstock more securely. Multi-guitar stands tend to feature space to slot your guitar in sideways for maximum storage space in a smaller footprint.

Can I store my guitar on a guitar stand?

Yes. Storing your guitar on a stand provides you quick access, not to mention being a great looking focal point in any room. What looks cooler than a guitar on a stand?
