I recently finished making a telecaster with my dad and was at Pier 1 Imports. I saw a table with mosaic and was wondering if i could do that to a guitar. What materials should i use and how? I've never done this before. How do i cut pieces? Are they precut? How???
Answer
Do not apply mosaic tiles to your guitar if you want to play it again and have it sound right.
Gluing on tessera (tiles) will negatively alter the resonance of your instrument.
However you can repurpose an old, unused or damaged guitar into home decor with a mosaic tile embellishment. You can create a decorative mosaic design using small tiles, flat-backed cabochons, vintage jewelry, flat clay beads, buttons or a combination of materials. Mosaic tiles with uniform shapes are the simplest choice for a guitar mosaic, as you can place the tiles flush against each other and save yourself the grouting step. A mosaic guitar can be more than a decorative element; it can be a conversation piece.
