If your guitar has a modern poly finish you shouldn't have a problem. However since many of us refinish guitars or finish our scratch builds in lacquer the stands can be a problem. I've tried various rubber and plastic tubing a well as leather. They all seemed to react with the lacquer.
I did something similar to drewsblues but used felt instead of terry cloth. Instead of sewing the felt I used an office stapler. Sewing would definitely be better is that option is available.
