Abstract: A multifunctional headstock support for stringed instruments; guitars, banjos, and the like, comprises a first constituent defining an anchorage base and a hingedly-coupled second constituent forming a sub-support appendage. The anchorage base comprises an integral mounting plate made from a substantially resilient material such as spring metal or a plastic, predetermined dimensions and geometrical shape sufficient to permit direct attachment to a predetermined back side portion of a string instrument's headstock. The sub-support appendage comprises an elongated support member which may employ a plurality of elongated support legs or a singular elongated support leg. Support leg(s) being sufficiently dimensioned to impart an increased planar surface-to-tuning machine knobs clearance under the headstock, and of sufficiently robust construction to support the headstock and associated weight of a string instrument when instrument is placed in either a reclined or inclined position.
