Mono Case Bewilderment

[Ibanez1998]

I'm absolutely STUNNED that EBMM is now shipping their high end guitars with a soft case. I have a couple EBMM's and they all have the beautiful hardshell case that I've actually had people compliment how nice the case is. So tell me, am I missing something? I can't stand the thought of dropping thousands on a guitar in a softshell gigbag. I mean, that's Fender Squire kind of stuff. I don't think there's anyway I'll stand for this. Just me? Am I missing something. I hear the Mono cases are huge and safe but... Hellz to the no. What say you?

While the mono case is by no means a soft shell gig bag/ case, they do a good job of protecting the guitar , I still dislike them, my vote was SKB. I expressed my dislike before,

They are large , bulky and do not store well

What say I? I say you’re on crack. I will take one of those mono cases over one of those ridiculous hardshell cases any day. I need something that is lightweight, strong, easy to transport and has no trouble going on a plane. I can’t say any of that about a hard shell case. Before you knock the mono bags, I suggest you go look at some videos where they are comparing the protection that you get from one of them versus a hardshell case. It might open up your eyes a little bit. Hardshell cases are nice for collectors. Not so great for players.
