Mono Cases Acoustic (Classical/OM)

I use this padded gig bag to carry my custom Martin 00-15 to gigs. It provides ample protection from bumps and the rain.

I initially ordered a cheaper alternative along with this one to decide whether the high price was warranted. I am definitely glad that I kept this more expensive option: it wears comfortably for daily use and it is completely silent, no squeaking or rattling noises that quickly become annoying when you use a case a lot.

From the use I get out of it the investment is a no-brainer. I subtracted one star because I wish the pouches were a little more spacious.

Hi everyone!
First, sorry for my English.
I've used set of M80 case and Guitar Tick, so I'm going to write one review for both of them.

First of all, a word about protection. I tried to drop my classical guitar in this case from 1.5 metr height. Everything is OK. Head lock isd a great feature! May be, it is cruelty, but now I trust it.

Guitar Tick attaches to the case using three Velcro straps and stays there securely and firmly. Adding/removing it doesn't take a lot of time.

Padding is very reliable and plush inside seems to be very "comfortable" for guitar, even with gentle finish. There are protected areas inside so strings cannot damage it. Overall this case is a bit bulky, but it is the price of protection.

I've tested this set in relatively long journey (1 month). What is most important, it fits overhead compartment even in small planes, like a Embroier 190. May be, you will need to remove Guitar Tick, but it is not a big deal. What I liked most is pockets. Small pocket for picks on the Headlock strap is great idea, and I use it time to time, as I play classic mostly. There are two pockets outside, one over the headstock and second over the bridge. Small one takes pens, notebooks, wallet, etc. There are small carabiner for keys. Big pocket contains few A4 folders of sheet music, tablet, gid headphones within their case... And few sets of strings in a special compartment :)

I put few shirts, socks, tooth brush and paste, phone chargers etc in a Guitar Tick. In my opinion, there are enough space for overnight/weekend travel for average user. For me it's enough for a week or two in the warm countries.

I put five stars for quality. May be, it deserves more, actually.
This case saw airplanes, ships, tracks and pickups, even helicopters. The name of fabric is Sharkskin. It is true, it's nearly impossible to damage it in the city. After 12000 km road I have two scratches on it :)

Best guitar cases on the market by a long shot. I've used a few cases in my time and many of them are simply not up to the task of 3-4 gigs per week with heavy equipment as well as a guitar inside.

I now own three cases from Mono, a dreadnought, bass and this OM case. I still use all three and they are still in great condition (I bought the dreadnought about 4 years ago and it has had some heavy use). I've use them in the cargo hold of flights and stuffed in the back of a fully loaded van. Easy.

The only slight issue I have has if that the zip for the little 'pick pocket' inside the case by the Velcro flap to hold the neck in place has broken.

Also, one improvement I would make is to introduce a little strap holder inside the case where you could slide in the strap as the larger straps take come manipulation to make them fit down the side of the guitar inside. That's a small point though.

Overall, buy one and if you can't afford it, wait until you can as you'll end up buying at least three cases in the amount of time that this one will last you.
