i just got my new fender custom shop strat, funny thing here is that i cant open it, it has 2 locks that require a key, how do i open it? i dont have the key..

Have you tried returning to whoever or from wherever you bought the guitar...
If it's a shop they should have a solution for you like the keys they may have misplaced....

It's easy, the key is inside. Hopefully the guitar you order is too.

YOU are not ready my friend.....

I've always thought locks on guitar cases were useless....a thief will just walk away with the case and break into it later.

Yea, it's not like a safe, a car or a house. If someone is to steal a guitar, why not still the case that goes with it anyway.

In forty-six years of playing the guitar, I've never locked a case.

Although does not help the OP that someone played a trick on him, now he'll have a busted case.

just take it back to the store and they will just use a key from a different fender case to open it.

+1

AFAIK, the G&G case keys are all identical.

Take heart, sir......we've all committed similar gaffs (or worse)!
