The Mono Vertigo is one of the most thoughtfully engineered guitar bags on the market — a case that takes protection seriously without the weight and bulk of a traditional hardshell. The construction pulls from military, footwear, and extreme outdoor industries: a water-resistant Sharkskin outer shell, integral ABS panels for impact deflection, and a molded rubber Boot on the bottom using sneaker sole technology to absorb vertical drops and keep the strap pin off the ground. The Headlock neck suspension system grips the headstock automatically — no strapping, no buckling — and the top-loading design lets you pull the guitar out standing up rather than laying the case on the floor. At 6.2 pounds it is dramatically lighter than a hardshell while providing comparable protection.
The VHB version is sized specifically for semi-hollow body guitars — ES-335 style bodies and similar — with internal dimensions of 42" x 16" x 4". The external storage pocket gives you room for cables, a tuner, strings, and other essentials, and the triple D-ring attachment points are Tick-compatible for adding Mono's modular accessory case if needed. Industrial webbing handles with bar-tack stitching and steel rivets, backpack straps, and plush interior lining round out a case that is genuinely well considered from top to bottom.
This one is in excellent, near mint condition — clean inside and out, zippers and hardware fully functional, showing minimal signs of use.
