I thought this would be easy but not so...
Basically I want to send an electric guitar as an Xmas present to someone
in the
uk (I'm also in the uk).

Get a cheap guitar case and then you won't have to worry about wrapping it
as much or if you get a hard case then you can consider it wrapped!!
You could also try posting in uk.people.consumers.ebay they regularly have
experience of posting strange shaped object questions.
http://www.p4d.co.uk/ has cover upto a £1000 so you should be ok with them.

yourself?

No Mike I haven't used them personally.
I enquired a while back about delivery companies and this company had a few
recommendations so I bookmarked it.
The others were
