Founded in 2007 by industrial designer Daniel Kushner — a Philadelphia native and former lead designer at IDEO — MONO is a San Francisco-born brand that pioneered the hybrid instrument case category. The company launched at the Winter NAMM Show in 2007 and quickly gained traction among touring professionals for its M80 series of gig bags featuring patented innovations like the Vertigo top-loading case design, the Headlock neck suspension system, and The Boot strap pin protection. The M80 lineup spans electric and acoustic guitar, bass, keyboard, drum, cymbal, and ukulele cases, along with the modular Tick accessory case that clips onto any MONO bag for extra storage.
Beyond cases, MONO produces the PFX series of aluminum pedalboards — machined from a single piece of anodized aluminum — along with matching pedalboard cases, power supplies, and studio/stage instrument cables. The brand also offers guitar straps, device stands, studio monitor stands, and lifestyle accessories like backpacks. MONO's industrial design approach has earned recognition from the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDEA Award) and INDEX: Design to Improve Life.
Musicians in acts such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallica, Rolling Stones, The Roots, Faith No More, Death Cab for Cutie, Black Sabbath, and Mastodon have used MONO products on tour. The brand is part of Vista Musical Instruments, a global collective that also includes Heritage Guitars, Harmony, Teisco, and Swee Lee.
MONO has 49 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Bags & Cases, Straps & Strap Locks, and DJ Accessories. Their gear is featured by 20 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Blues, and Funk / Soul. Notable users include John Clardy, Peter Honoré, and Tyler Larson.
