Some height-increasing articles that are easily available in the family can be used as a guitar bracket, for example,

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.
2. Make DIY bracket:
You can also make a cheap guitar bracket through simple DIY operation, for example:
Wood construction: use solid wood to make a simple triangular frame according to the size of the guitar, so that the guitar can be supported obliquely.

3. Substitute purchase:
If the budget allows, you can also choose some cheap substitutes, such as:

wall-mounted guitar stand: the wall-mounted guitar stand is usually cheaper than the floor stand and takes up less space.

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.
