As a smooth and glass like finish, suction cups will adhere to the side of a nitrocellulose guitar, however there can be side effects depending on the particular guitar support being used. Steve Toon warns: “nitrocellulose reacts with rubber and some plastics which cause the lacquer to go sticky.”

It is therefore advisable to apply a protection film to your guitar before using a suction cup guitar support, or use a magnetic guitar support such as the Sagework Atlas or Sagework Umbra.
