I did the same with a watch and was still charged VAT and duty.
When I got on to Customs they said just show us the receipt for when you posted the watch back for repair.
Collapse of guilty party.
I'd always factor in 22% when buying abroad and often when you do that it's not worth it.
Dependant on which state you buy in it can vary from 0% - 7.25%.

If they could be arsed to stop you.
It's always been the factory set ups keeping techs in business, the headstock breaks helping the repair men and builders. Now they are helping all the refinishers make a bit of extra money too

I've been very dubious and wary of Gibson, and thought the ML were a bit of a joke... until I played one.
Outstanding guitars.
I'd get a used case and ship it back; they will never know its new.
A bit like the puff pastry on an extra flakey sausage roll?
Took it on the plane and walked straight through nothing to declare.
Simple.
Typically, my flights arrive very early in the morning (sometimes as early as 6:00am), and usually then there is no-one in the customs hall. I always stack the case on my cart, rather than carrying it, I don't know if that helps.
The biggest worry I had was with my 1955 Les Paul Custom in a Gibson case, which went into the hold, but it was all OK.
