I am building a guitar stand and where the guitars actualt rest I need a soft bumper kind of surface. I was thinking felt but it would also be somewhat slick and I'd be afraid of the 4 $3500 guitars smacking each other. I was thinkif maybe like a clear self adhesive rubber but can't find anything of that sort but was also thinking maybe building up a rubber cement or something of that nature. It is a bit of a showpiece so aesthetics are pretty important but then again so is function. Anywhooo..... Any ideas????

How about the little clear soft plastic bumpers you can buy at Woodcraft or Rockler? They come in different sizes too.

The contour of the surface should also help them nestle in place. A little concavity, not just flat. Cork sounds good also.
