No. You have more to worry about from your sweat and oils than air. Anyway, cases aren't usually airtight.

Depends, I found my strings do last longer when my guitar lives in a case. I think it has to do with how sweaty/oily your are. Wiping the strings after helps a lot though.

Notwithstanding All my guitars are still on hangers. I just dont have the space to put them anywhere else.

Have you tried hanging your guitar with it not plugged in?

That might solve your problem! ? ? ?

Any guitar that is plugged in and on a stand is a risk. Just unplug your guitar when you take it off your shoulders.
