For her birthday. She will be turning 13 here in a few months. The issue is that she lives in England. I'm not building guitars for money yet. I haven't taken a order before in the past. Is there some thing I can do to ensure I'm not breaking any US/UK laws when I ship this?

Also, has anyone ever shipped a guitar across the ocean? Besides a great case, any other precautions I should take?

Don't use any cites listed materials, make sure you send it as a gift, and put the case in a box to help IT survive the shipping.

Make your sister in-law a guitar?? Find a good hypnotist and make her think she's a guitar anyway
I'm surprised there are no jokes about making in-laws into other things

Building a guitar for my sister in law? You'll have to excuse my Alton Education. It's the only one I have.
