The bridge is Brazilian Rosewood Does it come with CITES documentation? I've no idea how strict Customs and Excise might be.... Yep..Teds stock of Brazilian has all the necessary documentation to trace provenance so not worried at all.

...Ted has been busy in the spray booth and put on the last coat of lacquer on the 29th March...he then likes to let the guitar sit for 20 days to let the lacquer cure before final sanding and polishing...from then it's approx another 10 days or so for full completion... The man's clearly a sadist, scottish0177! That's nearly a month you've got to wait! Worth it though. I think you may be right....I,ve done remarkably well up to now but the closer delivery gets,I'm pretty sure my impatience will grow,until I'm eventually peeking out of the blinds at every delivery van that passes
