As an attorney and music lover, builder, and fan, I have to say that legally you are 100% correct on the issue of patent law, copyright infringement, etc. However, adding a dose of reality on the subject is necessary. If John Smith builds a beautiful guitar in his basement that looks similar to a Gibson or Fender, I highly doubt that the FBI is going to come knocking on your door. However, if you are mass producing knock-off guitars and claiming that they are authentic Gibson's or Fender's you will be in some serious hot water. Have fun building and remember that these laws exist to protect consumers and companies as well.

My guess is that it might not work. The problem being is that Marshall uses very specific circuits for their footswitches. I'm just guessing here but having tried to interchange lots of different Marshall parts between various amps without luck, I wouldn't count on this being a sure fire solution.

I just finished this sucker. I tried to document as much as possible. Follow the link for the build:

Hope you enjoy!

I agree...that thing is amazing. I have always wanted to play a 7 string guitar, probably allows you to do some crazy alternate tunings, not to mention allows you to solo in different ways. Good job on the build and you have just inspired me!
