For guitar players who demand the best in protection and convenience, the Vertigo™ Guitar Case stands out as a revolutionary piece of gear. Combining manufacturing techniques from military, footwear, and extreme outdoor industries, this guitar case isn’t just about safeguarding your instrument; it’s a significant advancement in luggage design. The Vertigo™ is engineered to be light, fast, sleek, and remarkably rugged, making guitar travel more enjoyable and worry-free than ever before.
Grab and Go: The Innovative Access System of this Guitar Case
One of the most distinctive features of the Vertigo™ guitar case is its unique “Grab and Go” design. Unlike traditional guitar cases that require you to lay them flat to open, the Vertigo™ opens from the top. A cleverly hidden diagonal hinge on the front panel allows you to quickly unzip the case and slide your guitar out vertically. This innovative approach means you no longer need to place your guitar case on the floor, keeping your gear cleaner and more accessible, especially in tight spaces. It’s a game-changer for quick changes on stage or in rehearsal rooms.
Lock and Load: Advanced Neck Suspension for Your Guitar Case
Protection is paramount when it comes to choosing the right guitar case, and the Vertigo™ excels with its redesigned Headlock® neck suspension system. Forget about cumbersome straps, buckles, or belts. With the Vertigo™, securing your guitar is effortless. Simply place your guitar inside, and the neck naturally rests in the Headlock®’s base. As you zip up the guitar case, the top section of the Headlock® automatically clamps down, firmly holding the neck in place. This ingenious design provides complete security for your headstock, protecting it from backward drops and side impacts, all with lightning-fast operation.
Drop-Proof Design: Unmatched Protection for a Guitar Case
Taking guitar protection to an unprecedented level, The Boot® feature of the Vertigo™ guitar case is a true innovation. Utilizing manufacturing technologies borrowed from the footwear industry, this guitar case is designed to absorb impact like a high-performance athletic shoe. The custom-molded rubber outsole and EVA insole of The Boot® effectively cushion your guitar from vertical drops, safeguarding the strap pins from damage during those unexpected bumps and falls. Despite its robust construction, the Vertigo™ guitar case is surprisingly lightweight and easy to carry.
Strap Pin Protection: Ensuring Guitar Case Longevity
The thoughtful insole/outsole combination within The Boot® design goes a step further by ensuring that your guitar’s strap pins are elevated and protected from direct ground contact, even during significant vertical drops. This attention to detail ensures that even the smallest components of your guitar are shielded within this superior guitar case.
Integral ABS panels are incorporated into the Vertigo™ guitar case to provide hardcase-level protection but at a fraction of the weight. In fact, MONO cases are approximately 75% lighter than traditional hard cases. The reinforced outer shell of this guitar case is engineered to absorb and deflect harsh impacts, diverting force away from the guitar’s vulnerable areas.
Plug and Play: Smart Storage in This Guitar Case
Organization is key for any musician, and the Vertigo™ guitar case is designed with smart storage solutions. Specialized compartments ensure all your essential gear is exactly where you need it. A conveniently placed interior mesh pocket keeps smaller, critical items readily accessible, preventing them from getting lost in the main compartment.
Wear It Out: Durability and Weather Resistance of the Guitar Case
Built to military specifications, MONO guitar cases, including the Vertigo™, are constructed using only the highest-grade materials. These materials are chosen for their extreme resistance to abrasion and the elements. The interior of the guitar case features a plush lining to protect delicate custom finishes, while the water-resistant Sharkskin™ shell exterior keeps your gear safe and dry, rain or shine. The Vertigo™ guitar case is also 100% animal-free, aligning with modern ethical considerations.
Hard-Wearing Sole & Riveted Handle: Built to Last Guitar Case
The Vertigo™ guitar case is equipped with a molded rubber sole and piping made of Hypalon, an incredibly durable industrial rubber also used in inflatable military rafts. This robust sole is designed to withstand extensive wear and tear. Rock-solid, industrial webbing handles are standard on MONO cases, reinforced with bar-tack stitching and steel rivets for maximum strength. The high-grade webbing ensures a comfortable grip, even when carrying heavier guitars.
Like a Glove: Universal Fit Guitar Case
The internal dimensions of the Vertigo™ guitar case are carefully designed to accommodate a wide range of standard body electric guitars. This guitar case comfortably fits popular models such as Fender Telecasters and Stratocasters, Gibson Les Pauls and SGs, as well as guitars from Ibanez and ESP. It’s also designed to fit some less conventional guitar shapes. The molded Vertigo™ Headlock® is versatile enough to fit both standard and wide-width guitar necks, including 6, 7, and 8-string models. If you’re unsure about the fit for your specific guitar, it’s always best to check with customer support to ensure compatibility.
