My CITES nightmare

It'll never get made into a film......

The Rosewood tree that I planted at the start of this thread, is now 118 ft tall.

Paragraphs or not, if I posted an 1100 word post this thread would be full of people complaining that it’s too long.  Plus, how else could I build such a sense of tension and anticipation?

I feel the end of the story was a bit of an anti-climax.

Think of it as a “Previously, on 24” recap

I was thinking more of the very end of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (1970s Donald Sutherland version - no spoilers, but hey it scared me!)

But more seriously, it's good to know the process seems to work. Not the crazy apocalypse some thought it was going to be.

Of course, it is the last bastion of British values.

I've never heard a bigger load of crap in my life. I'm outraged.

Blimey, I wrote less for my dissertation. 

However, the OP has at least planted the seed and made me want to read what CITES is about so pisstaking aside, wis'd.

As I’ve said a couple of times, people have no patience anymore! However, @photek has the right idea. You’ll all get to see it when I see it in the flesh. Then you can all tell me it’s shit, I got ripped off and modern guitars are much better!

Filled in a form incorrectly.

Spoiler alert:

Gets good on page three where he does it correctly

On a less pisstakey note, i am on the edge of my seat waiting for the next instalment!

Serious question - what did you buy?! It best be a pre CBS tele or 50's Gibson after reading that lot

Glad to see you’re paying attention. I know brevity is the soul of wit, but allow me a little more than just a bullet pointed précis of my experience

I just bough a Fender with Rosewood neck from Japan, cites is not a problem so long as the store knows how to do the paperwork.

I know we're all taking the piss, but I for one am genuinely interested.

Previously on ......................

Again I'm genuinely interested as the whole procedure is  a farce

You all say you’re interested in the process, but it’s not just the guitar seeking approval. I’ll cry myself to sleep tonight.
