I'm a little shocked that nobody's mentioned Nuno's N4 yet. Never seen another name player with one.

Tim Farriss of INXS used Tokai Talbos a lot when the band were at their peak. I can't think of anyone else who played them.

Prince - Hohner TE

Weller was the only one playing a Ric 330 all those years ago.

Steve Rothery uses a Jack Dent guitar. Mostly for his solo stuff - not to record with Marillion but it does come out at gigs occasionally

Good call. I feel like I saw them live, many years ago, and I don't even know who they were supporting.

Rich Robinson (Black Crowes) has been known to use Zemaitis too. And acoustic ones. Not 100% sure if oldies or modern Japanese ones though

Laurent Brancowitz of Phoenix plays Fender Bullets almost exclusively. I didn’t even know they existed before I saw him playing one, and I’ve never seen anyone else with one.
