I'm up at Mom and Pop's, but here's a shot. These are from Musician's Fiend.

A-frame style to work with double neck...

One of my guitar stands are designed like that. That rubber pad is very unforgiving on the back of any type of guitar finish. I go full Hillbilly and drape a sock over that padded area on my stand because of this issue. Maybe attaching a piece of felt over the rubber pad might work, too.

Have to give supper kudo's to anybody how will admit to going "full Hillbilly" thats just funny shitte. Ya gotta understand, my mom's side of the family is from West by god damn Virginia.
 
OK UPDATE TIME

The SG is rewired with CTS push/pull Vol pots and CTS tone pots. I can now split the coils on the pick ups.
The output jack has been replaced with a Pure Tone Jack.
Only OEM piece left is the selector switch . . . and that is temporary.

I like the tonal options I now have. I do not understand why Gibson did not do it.
They put in 4 conductor p'ups, adding the push pulls and extra lands to the circuit board would had been nothing.
They put in cheap components and charge premium price.

The deed is done!

I like the CTS push-pull pots.

Those are the same ones I put in my LP Studio project.

Be careful with nitro finishes! If the rubber interacts with the nitro, that would be bad. It can happen quickly too.

I never heard of this, or experienced it either....

The rubber will damage a nitro finish on a guitar...
 
I have heard of this being fairly common but not experienced it on any of my guitars.
They are all cheapo non nitro finishes.

I have seen rubber melt into other plastics like rubber skirts on metal fishing lures into the plastic of others.
