Finally after much searching on the internet and contacting companies I was able to find a product to meet my requirements.
Basically, I was concerned about many stands that are available that do not interact well with the Nitro finishes that Gibson and many guitar companies use. My friend had used a substandard guitar stand and after a period of time he notice blemishes on his instrument where the instrument was placed on a stand.
I have a couple of Gibson guitars and can say these stands are safe with those finishes. I have owned the product a few weeks now and the foam padding has not caused any chemical reactions.
A handy product to also use is the accessory to allow more guitars to be added to this product.

I was about to order the Hercules stand via Amazon Prime but they had let me down by changing delivery dates during checkout. Also many UK stores say they have stock and then later email and say they have to contact suppliers. This prompted me to begin using Thomann again.
