Who is this?

I was recently in contact with Herbie concerning that album. He used the non-pedal guitar for recording the album. As I recall, he said that the record company used a picture on the back that was their idea of what a steel guitar should look like.

I guess this is NOT the same Gary Stewart that recorded songs like "Flat Natural Born Good Timing Man" in the 70s? and if I remember right was a piano player...?

You'd be right Nick, that's a different Gary altogether.
The Gary Stewart of 1970s country hits fame was playing in frat bands and the like as a youngun in the 1960s, so a slightly different age group as well.

I guess they used PhotoShop software to remove Gary Stewart's name from the front of the guitar.

More about oddball album covers; Capitol records used a photo of Billy Strange with a Gretsch 6120 on Jimmy Bryant's "Country Cabin Jazz" album. Pi$$ed a heck out of Jimmy Bryant!! Jazz guitarist Johnny Smith's legendary "Man With A Blue Guitar" album displays a silhouette of a guitar playing man. The silhouette is actually taken from a picture of a Gretsch ad and the man is Chet Atkins.
