With the recent rosewood ban, many guitar (with Rose Wood Fingerboard) are currently ban from exporting from UK/US. They said that it need certifications to prove the wood's origin and whatnot in order to get them out of the country.

Bad news is, it affect us musician as well (Guitar Players). Apparently UK customs requires stacks of paper work in order for you to carry it out of UK airport. Worst Case they confiscate. These are the stories i heard And i'm sure it only happens once or twice this year.

That is the reason why most guitar are not available to order online.

The things is. i have relative is going to UK soon and i like him to buy a bass guitar there and carry it back. So if any of you been traveling to UK and carry ur instrument back. What is is your experience?

PS: the guitar i want only available in UK
