It won't affect much on the body, but the neck wood might suffer a little bit, loose moisture and shrink a little bit (you might notice sharp frets on the sides).

Anyway, just depends on the effort you want to make for the beater...

either way never keep a nice guitar on a stand. It's much safer to keep it in it's case. The temperature and humidity is much more consistent in there. If it was just a beater I really wouldn't care.
