This album cover is by an artist named Patrick Nagel, who did a lot of very stylish pieces like this, most of them a lot racier than this.

This beautiful instrument was built from a teak cutting board that I got for free from Home Depot for review. 32" Eden neck, active electronics. Teak is hard enough for a simple oiled finish. This one was built with a minimum of tools, mostly by hand, to show that it can be done and how.
