Ultimate Support Electric Guitar Stand (GS-100+)

Q: Is it safe for a Gibson with the nitrocellulose lacquer finish or will the rubber eat into it?

Yes. I have Martins, Taylors, Gibsons, and Nitro Fenders all on these stands including outdoor shows. But I would never leave any guitar on a stand longer than I was using it. Best place for a guitar is in the case. Not on display.

Q: Will this hold exotic shaped guitars such as the jackson warrior or king v without causing damage?

The legs have foam rubber wrapped around them, the entire length of the front feet. The neck is adjustable up and down. I successfully used this stand with a "contoured" back Ovation guitar without problem. I currently play an Emerald Guitar carbon fiber guitar, and the shape is a little different than standard guitars. I DO use the rubber head lock every time I put it on the stand, because the odd back shape does cause it to tend to twist a little. I do think it would hold a Warrior fine. The stand is very stable, and locks tightly and secure. Good luck! It's a great stand for the money.

Q: Will this work for a headless bass?

No I don't think this stand would work for a headless bass unless the there was some flaring out at the nut which made it wider than the neck. I use this stand for my Telecasters and the only thing that hold the guitar in the stand is the slight out turn of the upper part of the headstock. If that wasn't there the guitar would slip right through the stand.
