Mono Cases Buying Guide

Guitarists have no shortage of options when it comes to Mono cases. Each line has its own inherent qualities, so which is "best" depends on your needs. Check out our rundown of these lines for electric, acoustic and bass guitars:

The Vertigo series is best known for The Boot, the rubber sole on the bottom that gives this case more balance when standing up. This helps you easily load in and pull out your guitar by the neck with the case pointing upright. Place your guitar in the case and its neck will fit right into the Headlock cradle, for optimal protection.

The M80 Single case keeps your guitar's neck in place via its Headlock system that straps around the neck. The case features foam padding all around the guitar's body. There's a front storage pouch to hold accessories and even a secret pouch at the headstock for personal items. Want to carry multiple axes to your show? With the M80 Dual cases, you can bring two electric guitars, two acoustics, or one acoustic and one electric anywhere you go.

The Sleeve line is where you'll find Mono's most affordable options. These cases feature the same Headlock cradling system as the Vertigo cases, EVA insole padding to protect your guitar's bottom and strap button and a messenger-style front pouch for accessories.

Still need a bit more room? The Mono Guitar Tick is an add-on luggage piece that easily attaches to your Mono case and lets you bring extra gear on your trip. The Tick can hold a small pedalboard, multi-effects unit, cables or any other accessories you need.

Bass players can protect their prized instruments in Mono cases as well, and can choose from the Vertigo, M80, and Sleeve lines. Versatile bassists who want to bring, say a four- and five-string or fretted and fretless bass to the gig will love the M80 Dual Bass case!

Complete your Mono ensemble with a Mono strap! The Betty is Mono's premier strap option with a generously padded memory foam core that's wide to reduce shoulder strain. And Mono's line of pedalboard cases offer military-grade protection for the pedalboard you put so much time into wiring up.

Mono doesn't forget the drummers when it comes to great cases. The Studio and Shogun stick bags hold your sticks, mallets, brushes and other gear, and hang off your floor tom for easy retrieval.
