Is it safe to use velcro Command strips on the inside of the body of an acoustic guitar?
I recently purchased a used Taylor 214ce-SB DLX. Since Taylor guitars do not come with an on-board tuner, I知 looking for a way to discreetly place a tuner somewhere on the guitar, and a potential solution is inside the soundhole, using something such as the Korg RP-C1 Rimpitch Chromatic Acoustic Guitar Tuner. The problem is that I壇 rather not have the clip showing on the front of the guitar痴 body.
So, I知 wondering if it would be safe to attach the tuner to the inside of the body near the soundhole using Command Picture Hanging Strips (or something similar, preferably with velcro).
Is there any chance of a Command strip damaging the wood? Considering that I壇 be using it on a guitar and not a wall, would using the proper removal method be safe if I壇 end up needing to completely remove the tuner? (Also, is there any chance of installing a tuner in the way that I致e described having a negative effect on the guitar痴 tone?)

Do NOT put any velcro strips on the sound board or you risk darkening the sound and reducing your sustain.
If I were you, I'd just get a snark tuner and clip it on the head stock. They're great. Highly visible, responsive, and you don't have to mar your guitar. Also, you can keep the tuner if you ever sell the guitar.
Based on a long history of using industrial-grade self-adhesive velcro [I kid you not] & comparing that to 'what is needed so you can remove an adhesive without damaging wallpaper'
It will fall off in the first 5 minutes of use.
Avoid.
To better explain...
The 'no damage wallpaper' system relies on the force being vertical to a long strip of very poor adhesive - no movement, no off-axis force.
First time you pull in the 'wrong' direction, it will come unstuck... intentionally.
Good for wallpaper, not good for your performance.
Trying to fish your rattling tuner out of the guitar mid-gig is not going to be amusing for anyone except the audience ;-)
