Thread Name: Requirements for US to UK w/old guitar?
Subject: Requirements for US to UK w/old guitar?
Do I really need a special form and dispensation from BOTH the US and UK governments allowing me to travel with my 1916 Gibson L-1, due to the Endangered Species Act? C'mon, you gotta be kidding me. What am I supposed to play on tour? A plastic kid's guitar from Wal-Mart? ZOUNDS! Anyone been stopped at any borders lately? Touring UK in April/May. Thanks to Mark Ross for bringing this to my attention. (Just returned from a tour of British Columbia, where there was no such concern at the border in either direction, though!) Woof!
