I've noticed PRS SE guitars are way cheaper at UK dealers... Even with import and taxes on top of shipping id be saving like $400-$600 Canadian. Or am I wrong? Anybody have recent experience buying from the UK?
 
I've shipped music kit to the USA in the past few years without issue besides unexpected import duty for the buyer. I recommend using Fedex or similar international shipping firm that has detailed tracking etc.

If you look up stores like "GuitarGuitar" in the UK, they have a live chat box where you can ask more about shipping to US.
 
I reimported a BJA signature Gibson back in November. Guitar was valued at $1600 roughly and I ended up paying $120 in importing fees. If you get a REAL good deal, I say go for it, otherwise you’ll pay in import taxes.
