erection against the wall: lean the guitar against the wall, and place a soft object under the guitar, such as a cushion or pillow, to keep the guitar stable.

You can also make a cheap guitar bracket through simple DIY operation, for example:

3. Substitute purchase:

No matter what alternative is used, it is necessary to ensure that the guitar is placed stably and avoid collision to protect the safety of the guitar. At the same time, note that the substitute is only a temporary solution, and it is recommended to consider buying a professional guitar stand to protect your guitar for a long time.
