That could be an option Awagner unless you can find an individual over there that you trust to pick it up, get the proper permits from the government, and ship it to you. Is there a shop over there you have dealt with in the past? Maybe for a small handling fee they could take care of the permits and shipping for you. These New CITES regulations have really cut down on the number of overseas guitar stores that are willing to go through the hassle of permitting and shipping to the states. It takes an act of Nature just to get a guitar from Canada to the states let alone overseas. Best of luck in your search and I hope it works out for you. Maybe one of our U.K. members sees your post and is willing to help facilitate for you.
