Abstract

Abstract A light guitar support includes a support rod, an adjusting unit, two leg supports, two brackets, an upper support rod, a support seat, and a fastening device. The support rod has a lower portion and an upper portion. The upper portion is bent about an angle with respect to the lower portion and forms an insert portion for receiving a lower end of the upper support rod. The support seat is mounted on an upper end of the upper support rod. The support seat includes a transverse clamping plate and a longitudinal clamping plate. The fastening device is mounted at a rear end of the transverse clamping plate to be held thereby when in use or when folded. The fastening device includes an upright bar, a substantially U-shaped fastening seat, a positioning sleeve, and two curved bars. The upright bar has a front end and a rear end. The rear end of the upright bar is mounted on the transverse clamping plate to thereby couple the fastening device to the support seat. The fastening seat is secured to the front end of the upright bar. The protective sleeve is fitted over the fastening seat. The positioning sleeve has a front side formed with two bar receiving holes that have a shape resembling the numeral "8". The curved bars are received in the bar receiving holes such that the curved bars can displace inwardly to a closing position or outwardly to an opening position to clamp or release an upper portion of a guitar to thereby protect the guitar from possible damage.
