I suppose if there was any finish concern it would be where the body rests on the bottom hooks. If you have a nitro finish you could always put socks on the rubber parts if you have any concerns, but I've only seen actual problems with old vinyl straps blistering finishes. If you've got a poly finish, there is nothing to worry about.
It is an Eric Johnson Strat so the finish is supposedly nitro. Is that foam/rubber stuff that you find on most stands to be avoided? I think I heard that some of that stuff reacts with lacquer.
