The Mono M80 Vertigo Electric Guitar Case (Black) is an industry-standard hybrid gig bag designed with a top-loading system and military-grade protection. Below is a detailed technical breakdown of its dimensions and key features.

1. Physical Dimensions

The Vertigo is designed to fit most standard electric guitars (Stratocaster, Telecaster, Les Paul, etc.).

Core Technical FeaturesThe Boot® Technology

Inspired by the footwear industry, the Vertigo utilizes a custom-molded rubber outsole. This "Boot" uses articulated glass-filled nylon to bounce off concrete, protecting the guitar's strap pin from vertical drops.

Headlock® Neck Suspension

This case features a patented automatic headstock suspension system.

• Mechanism: When the case is zipped shut, the internal Headlock mechanism automatically clamps down on the guitar neck.
• Protection: It keeps the headstock suspended within the case, preventing damage from side impacts or rear falls.

Top-Loading® Design

Unlike traditional "clamshell" cases that must be laid flat on the floor, the Vertigo features a front-access hinge. This allows you to slide the guitar out from the top while the case is standing upright, which is particularly useful in tight backstage areas or crowded stages.

Shell and Material Construction

• Outer Shell: Water-resistant Sharkskin™ DVA shell. It is highly abrasion-resistant and provides a professional matte-black finish.
• Internal Lining: Plush, non-abrasive lining that protects delicate finishes (like nitrocellulose).
• Impact Panels: Integrated ABS panels provide hard-case protection at a fraction of the weight.
• Hardware: All-steel riveted handles and dual heavy-duty zippers with oversized pulls.

3. Storage and Ergonomics

• The Tick® Ready: The case features triple D-ring attachments for the "Mono Tick" modular tool bag, allowing for expanded storage.
• Storage Compartment: A deep front pocket includes a built-in cable management strap and a small mesh pocket for picks or tools.
• Shoulder Straps: Padded, hideaway backpack straps with a chest clip for weight distribution.

Note on Compatibility: While the M80-VEG fits most standard electric guitars, it is not compatible with certain offset bodies (like the Jazzmaster) or extreme pointed shapes (like V-styles). For those, Mono offers specialized XL or specific model variants.
