I bought a case for my Jazzmaster and it came in today. Just one problem no keys! This isn't the first time this has happened. This also happened with a case I bought for my Precision bass. Is there a way to open them without the keys or is this is just what Fender does? Any help would be appreciated.

Try the key for your P-Bass case......AFAIK, they're all cut the same.

they didn't send me a key for that case either so I sent it back.

Weird.

Every G&G case I have (nine of them) each came shipped with a pair of keys attached to a snap-ring.

yeah thats what i was saying that's mainly what pissed me off the fact that it happened twice

Are you certain that the latches are locked?

The Cheney's are not push-buttons -- you must slide them outward (towards the ends of the case on each side) to release the tongues.

A local locksmith likely has one on the rack which would fit.

The keys to my cases have been on a wire ring, in the accessories compartment, under the bag that has the "case candy" in it. (You gotta look for them)

+1, same here.

However, the OP asserts that the case arrived from the seller locked and he can't get it open.

You'll see a blue (or red, i forget) plastic tumbler thingy down in the mechanism under each number wheel. turn the number wheels til a little slot appears on each tumbler (you might need a flashlight to see it). line up the 3 tumbler notches in the middle, and you're open.
