Mark - I'm guessing the Stingray battery compartment guy was a guitarist-turned-bassist dude...

Hang on one pesky minute....
You mean to tell me that they actually open and there are guitars inside them ?
Well I'll be...
Makes sense I suppose. The price did seem a bit high for a wooden box.......
Reminds me of a time at a friends wedding when another friends band were playing.
They invited me up on stage to play a couple of tunes,
If we're being honest I was suitably 'refreshed' by this point in proceedings.
I stumble up on stage and I'm handed a guitar at which point I utter the words of shame to my friend Keith:
"It hasn't got any strings on it"
To which Keith helpfully responded (You may all join in at this point):
"No Rob, that's the BACK of the guitar"................................
So in light of the above evidence it may well be a good thing if they stay in the case

Y'know, sometimes those guitars sound better when they don't leave the case..

Steve,
So that's the reason for the factory"un-openable" guitar cases. Uh oh, I got one of those; maybe MM was trying to tell me something!!

I've had emails from both bassists and guitarists asking "how do I open my new LE case?" I tell them to first take it out of the shipping box...
While amusing, it is sometimes disenheartening.
BP, when are you gonna get a new case manufacturer with "easy open" buttons?

It is funny as I grew up with the G and G style case so it is really funny to me..the other night I was at dinner and my friend was talking about jack Lemmon the actor and the 22 year old kid looked at the guy like he was on mars

I felt like an idiot when I asked how to remove the tremolo bar from the Silhouette Special. My older guitars had a "screw in" trem bar rather than the "push in" kind on the Vintage trems. Oh well, at least I knew how to open the case on the 20th.

I remember sliding those little latches on all my grandfather's guitar cases, then watching the latch spring open. Then I'd flick those latches down to semi-closed position and let them spring up again. Now my kids do it.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. The latch always hits my thumb at the knuckle. It does hurt a bit, but then I open the case and I forget about it.

I have never had a problem opening any of the cases on my guitars.
I have also managed to adjust my trussrod without damage to myself, the guitar, or the screwdriver.

I remember saying to a group of youngsters (then) in Panama, "Gather round, kids, and let me tell you about when the Beatles came to America."
A hush fell over the crowd. Like, 'Could he really be that old?'

My old drummer saw the Beatles in concert, although of course he couldn't hear anything. When he starts telling stories of concerts he went to in the sixties (those he can remember, anyway), even I'm impressed, and I was alive (barely) when the Beatles came to America.
Of course, I used to get the same reaction when I told people in their twenties and thirties that I saw Van Halen with David Lee Roth back in high school. They ain't the Beatles, but nobody else is, either.
