Page’s “Vertigo” Guitar Case

Helmet — Wed, 20 Jun 2012 19:00:05 +0000

Page shot a little promo video in LA for his friends at Mono Case. Here’s a bit more about their new guitar case, in their own words…

“The Vertigo™ guitar case was specifically designed to accommodate touring musicians who need access to their instruments in tight spaces. We had Page in mind during conversations about touring habits and the need for a top loading case where stage space is limited. Our goal was to create an instrument case with innovation while using the same military spec materials on our existing line. We believe we’ve achieved that goal.”
