NGD - almost
« on: February 06, 2009, 12:35:04 PM »
Just received my long-awaited PRS Singlecut via UPS! Took the morning off work to be home for the delivery.

After unwrapping the package, I had the PRS case in front of me, and an ear-to-ear grin on my face. Well, it turns out both the locks in the case are locked, at least it seems so! And I can't find a key anywhere in the package I received!111 OMG. Is there some trick to opening a PRS case, i.e. am I just dumb? :) Tried to fiddle with the locks for a while but to no avail. Sent the dealer an email asking what's up, if they just packed the guitar up, locked the case and forgot to send the key...

This is worse than any GAS, having a brand new guitar in a case that won't open :D

if feel with you.

that reminds me once when i got my bernie rico, its seems to me that that it was locked, and after a few days of trying and stuff and a few calls, he described me how to open the latch exactlly
just simple move the whole latch onto the left side,
penggg, it was open

WUOAHHAA, how embarresing to me

but i have never seen this kind of latch before, so.. :)
so the trick was to move the whole latch, and not some part of it, compared to my other guitar latches

Holy cow... that seriously sucks! I'm looking forward to seeing it... PRS's are really speaking to me lately... calling my name....

Anyway, I did a gig last November and we set up... sound checked a couple of songs using my back up guitar, then I went to get my #1 and the combi lock digits had turned! Do you think I could remember the bloody number? Luckily I never broke a string or whatever but what a dick... got the numbers in my phone now!!

They won't be locked - the key is inside in the case pocket.  There are two different types of catch on the case:

1)  A central clip you need to flip up using the lip at the bottom.  This will be near the handle.

2)  The two side lockable catches are circular buttons and they push sideways - left hand catch goes left, right hand goes right

I'm guessing you've tried pushing the catches in number (2) upwards or downwards instead???

That's one of the most annoying things that can happen, fell victim to it once myself. Sent a guitar to the local tech who safely secured the guitar in the case along with the keys  :x Had to break the case to get at the bloody thing

No problem!  Easily done in the heat of the moment I guess!  Just remember....

* Middle catch first
* Thumbs on the other two, push towards the outside of the case
* Lift, and smile

Called the wife and instructed her, this worked. I'm slightly embarrassed but more happy ;D I'm going to hurry home now! And thanks a lot :)

I would have levered the thing open with a screwdriver in frustration!
