Exclamation Case lock problem

So I received a new guitar in the post today. There is a picstory forthcoming, but while unpacking the guitar, I notice that the latches on either side have locks, and the right one is locked with the key nowhere in sight. I presume the keys are inside the case

Any ideas on how to get this open without resorting to just prying the latch open? I had to do that on my Ibby case already and I don't want to mutilate this nice new one.

Try the ibby case key. Most cases use the same key

My Ibby case had a combination lock, unfortunately. One of the old UV cases.

I'm gonna email him just now, but it came all the way from the US. It's killing me having it sitting right next to me but I can't get at the guitar inside

Try a bent paperclip? I know you don't want to ruin the case, but that's got to be unbelieveably frustrating.

lol that's fucking awful torment, dude. You can always order a new latch for it though, man if you have to resort to breaking and entering.
