DAS44 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I didnt set mine for exactly that reason.... I have the memory of an acorn... I wake up in the morning and can't remember my own name sometimes, let alone a combination... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duane v Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Only have one case with a combination lock (Epi JL Rev case).... But my daughter broke the inner mechanism, so I never got the chance to lock myself out of my guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgman Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I never use the combo lock on my Gibbo case. The dealer advised me not to use it since he has so many cases returned with broken combo locks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artie Owl Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I bought a standard lock and key that fits the case, when I realized, the only person I'd be locking out was me if I lost the key, (can't remember where the spare it came with is exactly). If someone wanted into the guitar they'd cut the lock off to begin with. I keep the lock in the hatch in the case, just IN CASE if you please (pun) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they stopped making the ones with the combo locks.. I used to lock it everytime I went out...in case....before I realized if anyone got in they would take the whole case guitar and all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artie Owl Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I guess so? It's just four latches, the center one having a loop for a lock. But yeah if they want it they'll take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pohatu771 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I don't lock my cases so that people don't steal them, I lock them more so that people don't play them. Not many people will steal a guitar, but quite a few have no problem picking it up and playing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky4 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I never understood the locks. If somebody wants to steal a guitar, they will take the case. What brings more attention, a person with a guitar, or a person with a case? I guess they could keep the case from opening accidently, but with all the latches, I don't think that is likely.

milod Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 All but one of my cases are darned near antiques so don't have combination locks. Never locked 'em for reasons mentioned above. But on occasion when I expected a bit of jiggling I've tied them shut one way or another... m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shnate McDuanus Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I would never use a combination lock if it were on a guitar case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
