Mono Introduces the M80 Dual Acoustic & Electric Hybrid Guitar Case

Mono Introduces the M80 Dual Acoustic & Electric Hybrid Guitar Case

One hybrid case designed carry both an acoustic and electric guitar together.

Larkspur, CA (December 4, 2015) -- The intrepid design team at MONO turns their focus to acoustic players this year with three new hybrid cases for acoustic guitars. The Dual Acoustic+Electric Case, Vertigo Acoustic Case and Acoustic Guitar Sleeve are designed to fit standard dreadnought guitar models and most archtops.

The first of its kind: one hybrid case designed carry both an acoustic and electric guitar together, fully protected with MONO’s patented Headlock neck suspension system. A solution for this transportation challenge has been among the top requests from MONO players since the launch of the company in 2007. The MONO team is extremely excited to finally add this highly anticipated design to the collection. The Dual Acoustic/Electric Case complements MONO’s existing Dual Series that includes a case for two electric guitars, and two bass guitars. (List price $415)

Features:

  • One or Two Guitars — The patented ā€œzig zagā€ design creates a completely separate case for each guitar. That means both are protected with our Headlockā„¢ suspension system and strap pin bumpers. It also means the M80 Dual can be used with 1 or 2 guitars - something you’ll appreciate on the road. Additionally, the Z-form design allows for immediate access to either guitar.
  • Drop-proof — The patented Headlock design provides a level of protection worthy of the finest instruments. Your guitars quickly strap in and remains stabilized during transport. Both headstocks are suspended inside the case, saving your guitars from both side and rear impacts that could otherwise snap the necks.
  • Wear it Out — We build our cases to military specs, using only high-test materials with extreme resistance to abrasion and the elements. Inside, the plush lining protects delicate custom finishes. So your guitar rides first class while you launch an urban assault.
  • The MONO Lifetime Warranty — All MONO products are guaranteed for life against defects in materials and workmanship.

In challenging times, sometimes elemental music, like the late Jessie Mae Hemphill’s raucous Mississippi hill country blues, is the best salve. It reminds us of what’s truly essential––musically, culturally, and emotionally. And provides a restorative and safe place, where we can open up, listen, and experience without judgement. And smile.

This legendary vintage rack unit will inspire you to think about effects with a new perspective.

When guitarists think of effects, we usually jump straight to stompboxes—they’re part of the culture! And besides, footswitches have real benefits when your hands are otherwise occupied. But real-time toggling isn’t always important. In the recording studio, where we’re often crafting sounds for each section of a song individually, there’s little reason to avoid rack gear and its possibilities. Enter the iconic Eventide H3000 (and its massive creative potential).

Valerie June’s songs, thanks to her distinctive vocal timbre and phrasing, and the cosmology of her lyrics, are part of her desire to ā€œco-create a beautiful lifeā€ with the world at large.

The world-traveling cosmic roots rocker calls herself a homebody, but her open-hearted singing and songwriting––in rich display on her new album Owls, Omens, and Oracles––welcomes and embraces inspiration from everything … including the muskrat in her yard.

I don’t think I’ve ever had as much fun in an interview as I did speaking with roots-rock artist Valerie June about her new release, Owls, Omens, and Oracles. At the end of our conversation, after going over schedule by about 15 minutes, her publicist curbed us with a gentle reminder. In fairness, maybe we did spend a bit too much time talking about non-musical things, such as Seinfeld, spirituality, and the fauna around her home in Humboldt, Tennessee.
