Mono M80 Acoustic Guitar Gig Bag Review

a review of the Mono M80 Acoustic Guitar Gig Bag, with a versus section against my previous gig bag the Ritter RG9000

World Tour GBA100 Padded Acoustic Guitar Gig Bag

The size and general features are fine (zipper, backpack like straps, pocket in the front)but the padding is so thin. It feels like it won’t protect the guitar at all, except against very minor tension or nicks. I think its worth it to get a more heavy duty one if you want to actually protect the guitar. If you just need it for superficial transport, it should suffice.

I was looking for an inexpensive case that I could also use to cary around my guitar, harmonica rack, and songbook, as well as a place to keep all of my smaller accessories (pick, winder, capo).

The pockets are great, and I love the backpack straps. They make carrying the guitar a lot easier.

My only complaint is that horrible “World Tour” patch. It just makes the case look very silly. I took the patch off and it looks a lot better now.

All in all…it’s a good case.

Matt Toka's Second Crack in Music

Wait. Before you start reading this, humor me and please start listening to some horrible inspirational music; nothing with vocals. I suggest something from one of the Narnia scores. That’s it… Go to YouTube and search it in a new tab. Pretty much anything from any Narnia movie will work… ready, push play… and we’re off!

Matt Toka has the ability to change lives. Maybe it’s because you can watch one of his videos and think maybe he was one of those crazy kids downtown that asked you for money and then said something smart-assed when you handed him a five spot. Maybe it’s because you can laugh uproariously while he chats about his one week of work experience at Wendy’s and the fear of Band-Aid sandwiches. Or maybe it’s because he jokes about messing himself due to explosive chipotle. Regardless of what is, Matt Toka is the green haired punker that everybody should be welcoming into their lives over the course of 2012. Did I mention that he used to play acoustic stuff on Hollywood Boulevard next all of the costumed-crazies running around posing for pictures with people?

By Dan Bolles [04.18.12] Solo instrumental albums by virtuosic players can be a mixed bag. Admiring the chops of, say, bassist Victor Wooten or acoustic-guitar hero Tim Reynolds can be an otherworldly experience. Players at that level can do things
