Buying a guitar in the US and sending it home?

[Ev0]

Got a few trips to the US on the cards next year and was wondering with the pound so strong if it'd be cheaper to buy a new guitar over there and have it couriered back home than buying one here?

Ideally I'm after a Gibson SG, just the standard affair, which run to about £900 all in over here.

I'm not too fussed on the whole transporting it back thing as I can sort that out later, but are they likely to be cheaper to buy over there?
