Nitro lacquer info sheet

CEO Our guitar stands in the translucent version are suitable for all kinds of guitar lacquers, including nitro lacquer. The colorless support elements are made of high quality elastomer plastic, which does not contain any color.
Therefore discoloration from the stand to the guitar is eliminated. However with nitro lacquers which are not fully hardened it can happen in some cases that the colors of the guitars “bleed”, that means that the colors blur or fade, and can cause dents.
König & Meyer is not liable for such damages!
Please regard the respective guitar manufacturer’s instruction manual.
We recommend to keep high quality guitars in the guitar case for long-term storage.

Hello K&M,
I have been using K&M 5 way guitar rack (translucent) and some aniline red stain has bled from a Gibson Les Paul, the guitar is not damaged but the stand is stained, how should I clean the stand please.
Thank You,
All the Best,
Raymond Borja.
Exact same question here please.
Hi Paul
Sorry for the late response.
Unfortunately, nothing can be done… once the so-called “bleeding” (color pigment migration from the guitar into the stand) has begun, the stand is permanently “discolored”. This is because the color pigments “penetrate” the translucent overlays. With the translucent stands, we can only ensure that no color pigments migrate from the stand into the guitar.
If you have further questions, please contact our product manager Michael Wamser: service@k-m.de
Best regards,
Sandra (Team K&M)
