Hi Folks

Just wondered if a guitar bought in the UK is allowed into Australia, I did look at the quarantine site but still none the wiser

Thanks in advance for any advice

Yeah, done it back and forth lots of times, no issue just gets listed with the rest of your stuff. You might want to check out this thread for any packing tips etc.

Just play it like Hendrix ... Man

Second to the tips that Tr1boy linked to, my guitars were my prized possessions I brought over 7 odd years ago. Still love 'em
