I've used DHL for my shipments most of the time, they do a great job, package arrives fast, it is a bit pricey but it's worth it specially with some important stuff.

If it is a bolt-on guitar take the neck of so shipping is cheaper. And of course it should be sent as extra lughage to avoid a lot of taxes. Good luck!

The difficulty for the customs staff is to know if you bought it in the US or shipped it back and forth. They are used to anonymous packages (i.e no guitarshop brand on the parcel), packages marked "value less than 20 USD" and explanations such as "no it's my old guitar, VAT is already payed in my home country". Perhaps adding the original reciept with the documents showing the serial number could work as proof enough. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I'm a bit worried that I will ruin the guitar if I do that... If the thrus rod is ok and the neck it self is ok it should be ok. You can ask a repairman, I got a bass from USA and got it sent with the neck of and it works fine. But don´t forget to lossen the strings, the reaction to very-low and then hight temperatures are vey different from metal and wood. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
