M80 Acoustic Guitar Case - 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.

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 lightSexySTURDYShoulder 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 removedCons: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.

Great case! When it first comes out of the box, you can see the quality. My Martin 00015m fits great inside it. Also love the big pocket, great for laptops or iPads. The top pocket by the headstock is great as well! Great for keys, string winders etc. Would strongly recommend!

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.

Purchased for my gibson 335 - also works with my Taylor T5C1Have 2 other Mono bags for electric. They're great gigging bags

Llevo con la funda algo más de 3 meses.Es una pasada de funda, y la protección es lo que mejor que he visto, a no ser que te vayas a estuches rígidos. Realmente he probado a dejar caer la funda con la guitarra dentro y vaya que si la protege.El pie de goma hace que te olvides de tener que ser cuidadoso cuando la pones en el suelo y la mueves de un sitio a otro. Lo malo es que debido al pie, no se sostiene fácilmente en posición vertical, y si por ejemplo la quieres dejar apoyada sobre la pared la tienes que poner con un ángulo bastante abierto (no muy en vertical) o de lo contrario se vuelca. Lo bueno es que te aseguro que no le pasará nada a la guitarra si se cae! La protección es espectacular.Funcionalmente, el que puedas cargar la guitarra por arriba es muy cómodo. No tienes que tumbarla en mesa o suelo... Se saca y mete la guitarra muy cómodo en un pis-pas.El bolsillo para mí, perfecto. Caben bastantes cosas y no abulta apenas.Probada con Les Paul, Stratocaster y Yamaha/Ibanez (modelos tipo new-strat).Incluso con la pala de Les Paul que está inclinada hacia abajo y eso suele ser un problema con algunas fundas, va muy bien y queda bien protegida.Funda bien equilibrada, cómoda para llevar a la espalda y también por el asa de mano.¿Porqué le pongo entonces una nota más baja? Pues porque francamente estoy bastante decepcionado con la calidad de algún componente. No se si por el calor del verano y haberla dejado en el exterior durante horas, pero nunca con sol directo, el reborde de goma de la funda se ha agrietado por casi todos los sitios. Y se ha endurecido diría yo, tiene pinta de que en cualquier momento, o si no con el tiempo, se terminará resquebrajando.Este reborde parece más ornamental que otra cosa, pero no es de recibo que por este precio y con estas calidades pase esto. La funda seguirá siendo igual de práctica y con excelente protección, pero teniendo 3 meses parece fea y vieja.Siendo una funda top, y por este precio, no me parece admisible.Supongo que en alguna renovación del modelo los de Mono tomarán nota y cambiarán este reborde por otro, pero en esta M80-VEG-BLK de 2023 es lo que hay.Actualización:La vuelvo a poner 5 estrellas. Lo reclamé a Mono, me atendieron muy bien y me la reemplazaron por una nueva.

This gig bag offers close to the same protection of a hardcase, but is much lighter. It fits all my guitars snugly . . . strat, jazzmaster (usually won't fit in most gig bags cases), and telecaster. The neck lock thing works well to hold the guitar in place in the bag, and the boot on the bottom is ample protection when you lean the case up against something to put a guitar in or take it out.The inside is soft and looks pretty durable, the outside is water resistant and a tough material. Main pocket is a decent size to hold some chord charts, a tuner, cable, spare strings/picks, and trem arm.No complaints . . . other than it being pretty pricey it's a great case.

La Rolls du gigbag !Rien à redire sur la qualité et surtout la protection de ma belle (une strat american pro 2)Le prix n’est pas donné, c’est clair... mais l’intégrité de ma guitare est primordiale et la finition est remarquable (vous allez me dire que pour plus de 200€ elle peut l’être !)Je voyage beaucoup (train, voiture) et honnêtement c’est la housse idéale.

Es la mejor funda protectora del mundo, pero sus modelos mas económicos tiene mas bolsillos para guardar cosas, casi no me cabe nada. yo compraría el modelo sencillo
