Thanks for the replies. Question, did you have to pay customs in the USA?

The shipper could declare it as a gift and as such you wouldn't pay.

haha, yeah you just 'gift' them a few thousand bucks and they will 'gift' you a new guitar. :-)

Something like that yes.

CITES - our tax dollars at work. How do they deal with vintage guitars?

Regarding customs duties, I seem to remember it was on guitars over $800. You can look it up.
