Famous in my book of blues rock Les Paul guitar players: Michael Vdelli from Perth, Australia who is on tour with Vdelli in Germany now and then. In this video he explains why his goldtop Love Rock is his "No.1 guitar". He has also modified it a bit with Grover tuners and Seymour Duncan mini-humbuckers. And he seems to have used other Tokais in the past according to that interview done for German "Gitarre & Bass" magazine.

Here are some more clips with him and his Tokai live at the Blues Garage in Isernhagen, Germany:

Some of my favorites from that search list, "Going Down", "Boogie Sea", "Could Be Good" and "Stratus":

Obviously he also has or had a red Tokai Love Rock with humbuckers, but did not like it as much:

**** it, I knew about Billy Gibbons and SRV, but the names popping up in this thread is more impressive that I'd ever thought. I just had to qoute Peter Mac's post, and edited it below to when he mentions the internationally guitarists.

That's one helluva list!

Gibons - schmibbons!! Listen to THIS guy get some tone out of a Burny - anyone know what model and what year it is? Andy Latimer is a great musician and somewhat underrated.
