Mono Cases or others?

[Stratman68]

So I have started going out and jamming here and there. But since my back surgery on October I really need a light weight case for my Strats and Teles., The Mono Vertigo seems to come up in every search but not cheap. Any ideas, including comments on the mono M80 and Vertigo for a lightweight case with LOTS of protection?
Thanks folks

Mono is great. Lifetime warranty, I’ve used it twice.

If you want something cheaper, roadrunner makes the highway line of similar heavy duty bags that are cheaper.

Thanks I'll check them out. I bought the gray molded Fender ATA case about a month ago-It's only around 6 pounds but it is big and bulky.

I have an M80 Dual electric case, and have been using it for years. Still looks good, and is 100% functional. It’s my main gigging case.

I saw a thumbnail for Tim Pierce hawking a soft case a day or so back, but haven’t watched the video yet. He was standing on the case… has to be sturdy.

I have both a Mono M80 for my teles and a Reunion Blues continental voyager for my 335. Both are great cases. The Reunion Blues feels a lot stiffer though, so i think it offers more protection, but both protect the guitars well with a lot of padding inside. The RB is also heavier, but that might be because it's for a semi-hollow guitar.

i bought a Profile semi-rigid bag last june and its been solid.

Access makes some quality gig bags worth considering, but they cost about the same as the Mono bags.

So I guess the Mono M80 is good for Strats and Teles.............I ordered the M80-Thanks for the advice. Still looking at the others suggested since I have multiple Fender Strats and Teles............Thanks

I carried my tele, strat, jazzmaster and lp in the profile case fwiw.

I have a pair of Mono Vertigos, one for electric and one for bass. I also have the Mono dual electric and the dual bass that I use when I'm playing both bass and guitar at some of the jams. A couple of them were used and still looked like brand new when I got them. I had a search out on Reverb for a couple months before I had the ones I wanted.
