Abstract: A guitar stand specially adapted to attach to existing stage amplification equipment thereby providing a stable support for an acoustic or electric guitar while maximizing the stage space available to the performer. The guitar stand includes a yoke, a support arm and a base, and a clamping mechanism. In operation, the guitar stand is detachably clamped to amplification equipment and supports the guitar above the floor. The unique structure of the stand balances the weight of the guitar against the weight of the equipment for stability.
