The Vertigo™ guitar bag redefines instrument protection by merging manufacturing techniques from military, footwear, and extreme outdoor industries. This innovative design results in a guitar bag that is not only incredibly protective but also lightweight, fast, sleek, and rugged. Traveling with your guitar has never been more convenient and secure thanks to the Vertigo’s thoughtful engineering. If you are looking for a superior solution for your Guitar And Bag needs, the Vertigo™ is designed to impress.
Grab-and-Go: Unparalleled Accessibility
One of the standout features of the Vertigo™ is its unique top-loading design. Unlike traditional guitar cases that require laying flat to open, the Vertigo™ allows you to quickly access your guitar while standing. This is made possible by a cleverly concealed diagonal hinge on the front panel. Simply unzip, and the case naturally opens to the right, allowing you to effortlessly pull your guitar out from the top. This “grab and go” functionality is perfect for musicians who value speed and efficiency, especially in tight spaces or during quick set changes. No more fumbling with bulky cases on the floor – the Vertigo™ lets you take a stand and get playing faster.
Lock and Load: Revolutionary Neck Suspension
The Vertigo™ guitar bag is equipped with a completely redesigned Headlock® neck suspension system, offering unparalleled security for your instrument’s most vulnerable part. Forget about cumbersome straps, buckles, or belts – the Headlock® system simplifies guitar security to its core. Just place your guitar inside, and the neck naturally rests in the Headlock® base. As you zip up the case, the upper section of the Headlock® automatically clamps down, firmly holding the neck in place. This innovative mechanism ensures your headstock is fully shielded against backward drops and side impacts, providing lightning-fast security without any extra steps. This advanced neck support makes the Vertigo™ a top choice when considering guitar and bag safety features.
Drop-Proof Design: Next-Level Impact Protection
Taking guitar protection to a new level, The Boot® technology in the Vertigo™ is a first of its kind in guitar bags. Drawing inspiration from footwear manufacturing, The Boot® allows the Vertigo™ to absorb and dissipate impact like a high-performance athletic shoe. The custom-molded rubber outsole and EVA insole work in tandem to cushion your guitar from vertical drops, protecting your strap pins* from damage. Despite its robust construction, the Vertigo™ maintains a sleek and user-friendly design, proving that serious protection can also be fun and functional. This drop-proof capability is crucial for musicians needing a reliable guitar and bag solution for travel and gigs.
Integral Hardcase Protection: Lightweight and Robust
While offering superior protection, the Vertigo™ remains remarkably lightweight. Integral ABS panels provide hardcase-level protection at a fraction of the weight – MONO cases are approximately 75% lighter than traditional hardcases. The reinforced outer shell of the Vertigo™ is designed to absorb and deflect hard impacts, directing force away from the guitar’s delicate areas. This combination of lightweight design and robust protection makes the Vertigo™ an ideal guitar and bag option for musicians on the move.
Tick-Ready™: Expandable Storage Options
For musicians needing extra storage, most MONO Vertigo™ cases are equipped with triple D-ring attachments, making them compatible with the optional Classic Tick Accessory Case. This modular tool case seamlessly and securely attaches to your Vertigo™, expanding its storage capacity. The Tick-ready feature adds versatility to your guitar and bag setup, allowing you to carry essential accessories conveniently attached to your guitar case.
Plug and Play: Smart and Accessible Storage
Organization is key for any musician, and the Vertigo™ excels in providing smart storage solutions. Specialized compartments are strategically placed to keep your gear exactly where you need it. A small interior mesh pocket is perfect for storing critical small items like picks, strings, or cables, ensuring they are always within easy reach. This thoughtful design makes the Vertigo™ a highly practical guitar and bag choice for organized musicians.
Wear It Out: Built for Durability and Weather Resistance
MONO cases, including the Vertigo™, are constructed to military specifications, utilizing only high-test materials that offer extreme resistance to abrasion and the elements. Inside, a plush lining cradles and protects delicate custom finishes. Outside, the water-resistant Sharkskin™ shell ensures your gear stays dry and protected, rain or shine. Furthermore, the Vertigo™ is 100% animal-free, aligning with ethical and environmentally conscious values. For musicians needing a reliable and weather-resistant guitar and bag, the Vertigo™ stands out.
Hard-Wearing Sole & Riveted Handle: Designed for the Long Run
The Vertigo™ is equipped with a molded rubber sole and piping made of Hypalon, an industrial rubber used in military inflatable rafts, ensuring it simply will not wear out. Rock-solid, industrial webbing handles are standard on MONO cases, reinforced with bar-tack stitching and steel rivets for maximum strength. High-grade webbing provides a comfortable grip, making the Vertigo™ a dependable guitar and bag solution built to last.
Like a Glove: Universally Compatible Fit
The internal dimensions of the Vertigo™ are designed to accommodate a wide range of standard body electric guitars, including popular models like Fender Teles and Strats, Gibson Les Pauls and SGs, Ibanez, and ESP guitars. It also fits some less standard guitar shapes. The molded Vertigo™ Headlock® is designed to fit both standard and wide-width guitar necks, including 6, 7, and 8-string guitars. If you are unsure about the fit for your specific guitar, it is recommended to check the maximum dimensions or contact support for clarification. The Vertigo™ aims to be the perfect fit for almost any electric guitar and bag requirement.
