Yep.. Nitrocellulose only on Elitist series guitars, all other standard production Epiphones are Polyurethane.. 

Actually, the majority of Elitists are also poly. 

Only the most recent Elitist releases (primarily for the Japanese market) are nitro.  This includes revamped versions of the Casino, Riviera, and Texan - all manufactured in Japan by Terada.

A few earlier Terada-made Epiphones had a nitro finish:  The '65 John Lennon Casino (two versions), the '64 John Lee Hooker Sheraton (two versions), and the '64 Paul McCartney Texan.  None of these instruments were part of the Elitist series.

Yep.... But as to the original question the Epiphone Sheraton II Pro has a Polyurethane finish and should not be effected by contact with a guitar stand..
