White Stripes maybe? It's going to really bother me if I can't figure this out. I know there's some other album cover or linear notes out there with a bunch of white, lacquer painted instruments.

Also you could point out that the three red stripes were painted onto the instruments and not an afterthought created digitally afterwards. For those who think otherwise If you look at the booklet of the packaging you can see it shot at different angles (if this was done digitally it definitely fooled me). The rest of the package was art directed & designed by Greg Burke who also art directed the T.I. "Paper Trail" cover... hmm seems like there's some missing info… somebody mentioned that this was photographed by Dan Tobin Smith who is famous for shooting carefully planned out still life's in complete white spaces.
