    Abstract: A strapless guitar rest includes a main rest shelf, a shelf base, and a grip cover. The main rest shelf provides a curved surface for supporting the curved portion of a guitar, while the shelf base provides a means for anchoring the strapless guitar rest to the user. The main rest shelf is adjacently connected to the shelf base and positioned at an offset angle in relation to the shelf base in order to compensate for displacement of the strapless guitar rest due to torque from the weight of the guitar. The main rest shelf includes a rest pad to further conform to the shape of the guitar and a shelf tab to prevent the guitar from falling off of the main rest shelf. The grip cover encompasses the main rest shelf, providing increased friction between the strapless guitar rest and the guitar.
