Time is Money

These first pictures show the construction of a double cut-away electric guitar named "Time is Money".  This guitar has watch parts and paper money and coins from around the world covering the face.  The top is then encased in a clear top coating.  The body is Redwood.  The neck is Maple with a Rosewood fretboard.

These first few shots show the Redwood body and me gluing the paper money, coins and watch parts to the face.


The completed, but unadorned body.


The paper money is being attached to the face with a 2-part epoxy.


More of the bills being attached, along with the coins and watch parts.


There are several recessed holes in the face.  They contain coins and watch parts.


The pouring on of the clear top coat. It required three seperate pours.


Adding the hardware and electronics. This guitar has one single coil and one humbucking pickup.
