Need help-advice with replacement foam for Warwick Rockstand

[glassjaw7]

I find it a bit odd and lame that you spend decent money on a Rockstand and the company offers no replacement foam when it wears out. Mine is only a few years old and hasn't been used much on the road, and my guitars are sitting on the metal frame.

Took me three emails to get through to the company and here's the reply I got:

We've been asked by Warwick to contact you regarding your request for replacement foam for a Rockstand. They do not supply replacement foam, nor do we as the current USA distributor for the Rockstand line.

Nice. Helpful, right?

So, should I go to the hardware store and just get some pipe insulation and cut it to fit? I don't want to use something that'll mess up the finish (not that my axes are super high-end) Thanks for any help.

I went through the same thing, and used pipe insulation from Home Depot. Went to Walmart and bought a yard of black fleece material for $5, and once the insulation was installed, I wrapped the fleece around it. It works better than before, and the wife did all of the sewing for me so it looks pretty good, too.

Cool, thanks. I was thinking, pipe insulation alone wouldn't be the best option, but fleece is a good idea! I have a bit left over from a DIY pedal board project.
