Plenty of stores worth a visit...depends on buying used or new. I've picked up about a dozen guitars out of the USA when the $-£ was about 1.60 & got great deals...not so hot now and is RW is involved then CITES has killer it...so only maple necks now
You sniffing for something specific
good deal on a clean NOS CS tele.....think blackguard 9.5 radius type thing
went for a look see and saw a nice usa vintage thin skin tele 52 2000 bucks but the same box in guitar guitar is about 1500 and I don't have to pay shipping and any tax on that....what gives?
do you think the thin skins will come to the UK?

The calculation will be VAT (on total) + duty (on item value) + brokerage fees (varies by courier).
For example, I’ve found that Heritages (bought from Jay a couple of times) tend to have uneven frets and need a light dressing, whereas Suhrs always seem to be perfect out of the box.
CS products from Gibson and Fender seem to be variable (worst guitar I ever bought was a CS336 from Thomann - elegant curves in the neck in all the wrong places!)
All that said, I bought a CS Fender blind over Xmas and it’s better than the ones I tried out in person, so your mileage may vary! :-)
