The present invention discloses a magnetically latched, spring assisted, built-in guitar stand that is built in to a guitar to provide quick standing of the guitar without the need for a separate guitar stand. The magnetically latched, spring assisted, built-in guitar stand consists of a stand arm that pivots away from the guitar when opened to form a tripod-like footprint that allows the guitar to stand by itself. The reduced footprint of the guitar stand allows the guitar to stand in a relatively small area.
