The Greenback was Charles’ comment on the music industry. Here’s what he sent me in 2010 about the design:

“So you have the “Greenback” model.  It is the rarest of the rare.  Only 5 were made and it was my last design for the company before I left. 
3 went to Hong Kong.  They said it was a capitalist statement. 
Really, it is a statement about the music industry and really what was happening internally in my own company at the time.
It’s the worst fuzziest photo I have of anything.  Can’t see half of what it is supposed to mean and the colors are terrible. 
Really, what it is, is a progressive scene starting right at the neck in the cutaway. 
The little half microphone and half strat body and half strat head  (representing music and singers) turn into a worm gear on the bottom edge of the pickguard.  The worm gear is driving a ring gear with George Washington staring at a dollar sign. 
Then a pawn from a chess game is falling into the gears. 
That pawn was me.
And finally out on the top edge you will see the “broken heart”  and cent sign (for the pennies I ended up with) coming out of the end of the big money machine I tried to depict.
I wish I had a good picture of one of those “Greenback” guitars.
The whole thing turned into greed and envy and jealousy and hatred and spite and all those fine things that are supposed to be “the seven deadly sins” or whatever.
And so, that was my final statement just before I ended up walking away from my own company.
