It might be good to add some extra padding. It is always the best to remove the straps in any case when you don't play the guitar.
The leather can "eat away" the nitrocellulose lacquer like some guitars stands also do (only hercules stands don't-
http://www.herculess...itarstands.html).
From our FAQ section:
"Stand damage occurs when the chemicals in the rubber used on guitar stands react with the nitrocellulose lacquer used to finish our instruments. It can range from a slight discoloration to the finish to actually "eating away" the lacquer topcoat. Unfortunately, this situation is not covered under your warranty. The safest way to prevent this from happening is to cover the rubber parts of your stand with a soft cotton cloth (use guitar polishing cloths). Guitar stands should only be used to 'temporarily' store your instrument, such as on a gig.
The safest place to store your instrument is in its case. "
