I really enjoyed listening to Vivian Campbell and the great tone he had at a Deaf Leppard Concert a couple of years ago. The other guy in the band with a Jackson had a washed out, over-compressed tone and Vivian's tone with clear, articulate, full and cutting very nicely.

Gotta go with Duane & Dickey.

Less popular?...Seriously?

Both of those guys rank as some of the most prominent LP players ever (and both have had Custom Shop tribute models).

 

[freedom's door]

Kossoff, although he's fairly popular on this forum.

 

[Teleplayer]

Barry Bailey when he was with the Atlanta Rhythm Section. Heck of a player and great tone. L.P. Deluxe.

This might seem obvious ... Jimmy page

It's not that obvious in a "less popular Les Paul player" thread, actually.
