musecasters Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 I really cant tell the difference That looks PERFECT. So Kev, you CLEARLY have the skill for this. Are you just not that into it in terms of doing it for a job, or does your sign business just eat up all of your t:Dime? I really only have time/money to make one every two years, I work ten hour days sorting problems with customers, workmates andsuppliers. These projects are a break from all that. With these guitars I have something hugh manson and matt won't have, a moc built with my own hands and played with my own hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice, I think you'll like it. I want a micro cuts outro cover with P92 + piezo please? Also, what's the body made of on your laser replica? musewiki says the original is mahogany, but I always assumed it was poplar for some reason.

musecasters Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 i've had a few peeps facebooking me asking to build replicas, i don't, here was my reply I'm afraid i only have time and money to make a replica every 2 years, as I'm a busy family man and run my own company. i don't make replicas for anyone but myself for two reasons 1. The shape and design are copyrighted so i could be sued by muse management and Mansons guitar shop 2. i enjoy playing them as much as making them, i love all my guitars and would never want to sell them good luck, I'm sure if you ask on the board someone will for you and I'm flattered you have asked me :-) i feel bad saying no, but i just can't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novus Dies Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 It would have been cool to etch your own phase 45/90 and maybe save some room....also, why only start the thread when finished? Looks interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musecasters Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 why only start the thread when finished? Looks interesting. because i knew it would take months to get the money together and get parts when i can afford it, i've done it before and some projects take 6 months from start to finish, better this way i feel :-) and it still needs wiring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know where people keep getting this. Not to say you should be making/selling replicas to anyone on ethical reasons, but still I highly doubt the shape is copyrighted. Hell Fender couldn't even copyright the strat/tele shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same goes for circuits, you cannot copyright the drawings as they are considered "art". So really, Mansons would be wasting their money if they took anyone to court over it, but I respect your view on it as personally I couldnt "rip off" another company either.

So really, Mansons would be wasting their money if they took anyone to court over it, but I respect your view on it as personally I couldnt "rip off" another company either. They'd have to prove that the shape is distinctive enough to be unique to their brand before they could protect it (Incidently Fender and Gibson only have protection over their headstock shapes but not over the body shapes). Even then, if anything, the outline shape of a guitar would be protected as a trademark or a design rather than copyright as you're protecting the outline itself, not just a picture of the outline. In any case, art is very much subject to copyright as per the Copyrights Designs and Patents Act 1988 (s.4). I find it strange that you'd think otherwise as protecting art of one form or another is a huge part of what copyright is designed for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sampudd Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I honestly don't think Mansons could care less about people making guitars with "their" shape, they are always guaranteed to sell out every batch of 25 MB1s/DL1s/??1s or whatever they make in the future, So it really shouldn't affect then in a financial situation at all which would be the only basis for them to cause a fuss about it. As for any "ethical" reasons against it, I honestly don't understand why someone would actually feel bad for making a guitar the same shape and similar spec to a manson. If you would, does that mean you wouldn't make a tele, or an LP? Would you feel bad for stealing leo fenders design? no, so why a manson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
