OK, before anyone says it, I'm an idiot. I know.
Anyway, I put my S'gold in her hard case last night and went to bed. This morning when I went to get her back out the top lock of the case jammed and now I can't get the case open.
I haven't got a key before anyone asks and the lock IS rusted. But normally they open without bother.
Any help?

The case loks I've seen have all been pretty wimpy; I'd just break it and move on. Call it mojo.

Any help? | WD 40 and a heavey paper clip straightened out, if that doesn't work try to flex the case enough to pop the lock via a small screw driver |

But think about this: Maybe this is a higher power's way of telling you not to play? Well that or to get a decent case. |
