Description

We've seen it and done it hundreds of times: grabbing the guitar out of the side of a partially unzipped case while standing up. We do this to save space, to save time, or to save our backs. This observation became the driving concept behind the Vertigo, the world's first top-loading guitar case. The top loading feature might have been enough, but we went ahead and redesigned the Headlock for automatic neck support. Then we created The Boot, a rubber sole designed for unsurpassed protection against vertical drops. The Vertigo features a fully redesigned Headlock neck suspension system. No strapping, buckling, or belting required. No extra steps. Just throw your guitar in and the neck finds a natural resting point in the base of the Headlock. Then zip the case up and the top section of the Headlock automatically clamps down over your guitar, holding it firmly in place. Your headstock is now fully protected against backward drops and side-to-side impact. Another first of its kind, The Boot takes guitar protection to a new level. Using manufacturing technologies from the footwear industry, the Vertigo bounces off of concrete like a pair of cross trainers. With its custom molded rubber outsole and EVA insole, The Boot also protects strap pins of all shapes and sizes from nasty vertical drops. Travel in confidence and style. The Vertigo does not open like a traditional guitar case. Its design allows you to quickly unzip the case and pull your bass out from the top. This is enabled by a hidden diagonal hinge on the front panel of the case. Once unzipped, the case naturally opens out and to the right. No need to lay your guitar case down on the floor. The Vertigo is appointed with smart storage and rugged hardware for a life of travel. A deep front pocket keeps your essentials at-hand. The optional Guitar Tick provides room for much more. Steel riveted handles and dual zippers come standard, as does the Sharkskin water resistant outer shell.

  • The MONO M80 is a great case ...
Style: Electric Guitar - Black
A little background from me.... I am probably older than most of you that are looking for a nice gig bag... I am most certainly considered a 'senior' .. Guitar Major at Berklee School of Music (1960's). So I have had a lot of cases and guitars of all types over the years, from Anvil on down. I needed a light shoulder carry bag to fit my Ovation T5Z, and my Ric 360-12 for mostly local work. Although I own two of the 'other' competing brand cases, I decided to try the Mono Vertical M80 because of there many good reviews ... I have not been disappointed. Both of these model guitars fit nicely with good neck support as advertised. These gig bags are VERY good and the workmanship is excellent ... You pay for what you get.. They are a little on the expensive side. I am a bit disappointed that they don't make them in the USA. I did ask and they were honest... If American small business want to be supported at home, they should not ship all their manufacturing overseas to save money, then charge a premium price, enough said on that. I was a bit hesitant about the top loading feature, but I find that it is the best feature of the case ... LOVE the Top Loading... Quick and easy in and out. Zippers-excellent, material-excellent, straps-well built and comfortable. As others report, the bottom has extra padding and great support. The side pocket works nicely. We all want a quality gig bag that is rugged and light. I am guilty as many others a trying to put too much crap into the outside pocket, the size is fine for the strap, an iPad and some strings. Because of the very good neck support, you'll need to take your strap off the guitar and put it in the side pocket. No big deal, but I thought I'd mention it. Only thing I have seen on other reviews that I might disagree with is I would NOT use this case to ship in luggage...Some advertises like to sell you these as 'Case', it's a 'Gig Bag'... I suppose that helps justify the price tag somewhat. If you're overseas and change to a small plane and have no choice but to 'hand it over', then you would stand a decent chance of not getting destroyed, because they well built with as good of protection as you will find in a soft sided bag. Putting it with checked luggage would not be my first choice... It's a very good case (gig bag), it is still soft sided... I first bought one for my Taylor T5Z and liked it a whole lot, seemed to just fit the Ric 360-12 nicely, so I did order a second one... VERY happy with these gig bags. Every bag or case does not fit every need, but if you need a nice soft carry bag (case) with good protection, that is light but durable, I am very happy with mine. ... show more

  • Comfortable, light, and Sturdy
Style: Electric Guitar - Grey
I’ve played for churches all my life and some studios projects here and there. This case is currently being used for an ACOUSTISONIC JAZZMASTER and G&L Tribute Legacy. Thats a heavy guitar. I was considering buying the mono Sleeve for about 2 years but I was always on the fence about the storage capacity and sturdiness. I decided recently to retire my ovation acoustic and upgrade to an ACOUSTISONIC JAZZMASTER. BEST DECISION EVER! The JAZZMASTER came with a sexy gig bag case that seemed to somewhat be modeled after this Mono M80 Vertigo case BUT, IT WAS NOT COMFORTABLE OR PRACTICAL to me. The straps didn’t have a chest/waist strap and were too close on the neck causing chafing. I also have a BODYGLOVE gig bag that is amazingly solid but it was just WAY too heavy but it was only $150 when i purchased it about 10 years ago. WHY do i love this case? Pros: Light but not too light Sexy STURDY Shoulder strap spacing and height on the bag. -This ensures that your guitar’s neck/headstock isn’t constantly slamming into doorways. -Little to no neck chafing. -Chest strap helps ALOT with comfort when walking to venues/destination. I play in a city where parking is limited and sometimes, i have to walk a block or two with a guitar or 2 and a 10 stomp box pedalboard in a case. Without a tick attached, when the guitar is removed Cons: STORAGE- the storage in the front is a bit tight. Given the amount of gear I carry regularly, I would prefer to have more room in my case. Even for headphones and drumsticks. Price-this bag plus the tick brings the price to $340. Thats a lot for a case. Fit - I hoped that my Jazzmaster’s base strap knob would fit in the slot at the bottle but its off by an inch. -The left side zipper also comes close to the body and risks scratching it. I love Monos cases and use a large mono pedal board. I would recommend this vertigo, and their pedalboard cases to any guitarist that’s serious about their craft and protecting their gear. Hope this extremely long review helps. P.S. Get the grey case. It’s beautiful with the red boot. ... show more

  • If you have a nice pricey bass! Buy this case now.
Style: Bass - Black
I own a Rickenbacker 4001 V63 maple Glo bass. I've been wanting a nice case that was portable and strong to lug around on public transportation and that could handle normal wear and tear of a bass in a studio. I did some research and picked out the mono vertigo bass case. I feel it was a great investment and choice. It's durable and strong and has a little weight to it in a good way. The neck of the bass stays in place with a cool locking feature, It has two zipper pockets, I could fit my IPad, bass strap, tuner, guitar cable and picks in it. I like the top loading feature as well, and the boot on the bottom is great support. I've bounced it around a few times and was surprised with how stable the bass stayed in place. And the fact that you can wear it like a back pack is great. I would only recommend this mono vertigo bass case for those out there who own a really nice bass guitar or vintage bass. My bass is valued at about $2200/2300 and knew that a soft bass gig bag for $40 with no padding or support was not the way to go. I'm buying another one soon for my other rickenbacker bass guitar. Enjoy and yes the price is up to $250 for the case at times, but protect your investment. ... show more

  • Incredible customer support
Style: Bass - Black
This has been a fantastic case that has protected my bass for over 2 years. It is extremely well made. I attached a Tick 2 to it, and I guess I loaded that up too much, and as I was putting the case back in my truck's backseat, the tick got caught, and I ripped a connection point for the tick. I emailed pictures to Mono, and they covered it. No questions were asked. They shipped me a new case. In my opinion, when a company stands behind it's products like this, they make customers for life. I will be ordering more Mono products because of this great experience. ... show more
