My old guitar stands have no padding on them anymore. The plastic/rubber or whatever the padding is made of has dry rotted. What type of tubing or any other material can I use to replace it without harming the finish of my guitars?

The notes and tab numbers are correct, as is the second-fret capo. We’re deeply sorry about any confusion this may have caused.
