"A few years ago, a story did the rounds that was alarming (or amusing, depending on your point of view). Allegedly Gibson were threatened with confiscation of their wood stockpile because the accompanying paperwork wasn’t quite right. In that case, it was no fault of Gibson, the story goes, but they very nearly lost the lot because of an administrative slip-up".
"As we understand it, you can travel with your guitar, as long as it uses under 10kg of rosewood in its construction. In theory you could be asked for receipts for the instrument to prove it was legally imported by the place that sold it to you. As you can see, it is all a bit of a minefield at the moment".
