chris_b Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Does it have a rosewood fretboard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Why not use someone in this country? Martin Simms for example. I can see this being a nightmare with customs etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Dunky Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I'm sorry, I can't be of any help, but the thread title made me think of the Dropkick Murphys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I'd use someone in the UK. Who does Shuker, ACG, Sei, Wal and Overwater use? I believe Martin Simms is in Kent and has a very good reputation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProfJames Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Check out CITES on Google for rosewood restrictions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Age doesn't matter - if you don't have the correct certificate for export and import it could be impounded. You can ship in Europe whilst we're still an EU country but anywhere else could have problems. You'd also need to get import and export stuff sorted so that you don't pay U.K. import duties and VAT when it comes back. I'd definitely get it sorted here. Plenty of good people out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 Thx i hadn't realised that it was that strick surely its old and can be dated by the serial no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 It's a blanket application of the rules and age doesn't come into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykesbass Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Didn't realise CITES covered crossing the border into Lincolnshire Sorry, couldn't resist. Now with my more useful hat on, I'd have thought opening up a dialogue with Pedulla and a reputable UK luthier you would be able to get hold of a headstock decal.
