A guitar stand can be a cumbersome addition to a living space, so 'Standley' guitar stands are intended to be a discretionary way to keep a guitar seemingly standing on its own. The 'Standley' works by allowing the strap peg to act as the main support that mounts the instrument into the external base stand. This allows the 'Standley' to virtually disappear when in use to keep instruments nearly anywhere one wishes without having to worry about installation or oversized stands.
The 'Standley' features a design that rests the guitar on the stand and adding just a touch of a lean to instrument. The 'Standley' guitar stands are currently being funded on Indiegogo and are expected to start shipping out in February of 2017.
