It is very attractive.
I don't know if it's "one-piece". My eyes keep finding possible joint lines - but could be how the body profile breaks across layers in the patterns in the wood? In the back view, there is a more definite Book-matched centre join effect.

Looks like a 2-piece, there appears to be one glue joint down the center of the body :)
