Famous Warmoth Players?

I was watching footage of Slipknot live in Germany recently and noticed that one of their guitarists (Jim Root) was playing what appears to be a Warmoth Telecaster. It got me thinking... what other famous players have wielded a Warmoth guitar at one time or another? If anyone knows of any notable players, please share and or post some images, I'd love to see more.
I've linked the video below, if anyone's interested.

      I know Rivers Cuomo from Weezer played one.  I think it was his blue strat with HH configuration?  I don't know if he still plays a Warmoth or not.  It seems like there should be a lot more musicians playing custom guitars out there, but maybe they get custom made stuff from Fender, Gibson, and other guitar companies.  I'm sure a lot of them also have endorsement deals with major companies which would make them hesitant to switch brands.
 
I believe Warmoth has a link on their site that names some artists that play Warmoth guitars... :headbang:
 
Well Jim Root is a Fender artist, having multiple Fender and Squier signature models, so why wouldn't he play Warmoth? That is a very nice one, too..
 
Trevor May (Mayfly) and his band Cornflower Blue (site needs updating) have 3 albums out, charted in the top 10 and top 100 several times, and has played Vegas. He plays lotsa Warmoths.

That page seems to have disappeared. There is some info on the blog on their site but it looks less comprehensive than the old page.
 
Clark Vogeler of Toadies plays a black Jazzmaster with a Floyd Rose and blank black headstock.
It wouldn't surprise me if it's a Warmoth.

Did a bit of searching and the Wikipedia page on Warmoth lists a number of artists: Rivers Cuomo and Matt Sharp (Weezer), Ed King (Lynyrd Skynyrd), Alex Turner (Arctic Monkeys), and Kerry Livgren (Kansas).

Now that I think of it, I did see Alex Turner playing a nice guitar with a blank headstock. I don't remember what shape or anything, I just remember the headstock was blank.. haha.

Toadies.... :headbang1:
 
I love the Toadies! I bet that Marshall is loud and obnoxious. It probably thinks it's the best Marshall ever. Those Orange amps are probably over there like, Dude we're cool too.
 
Jennifer Batten, who played with Michael Jackson and Jeff Beck, has a Variax with various mods including a Warmoth Pro neck.

She was gracious enough to exchange a couple of e mails with me about the guitar and the neck was confirmed as a Warmoth.

I thought the key word here was 'Famous'.  I think we're disqualified because of that.  :glasses9:

Hell no, your fame reaches all the way to Belgium. Known to a select group of connaisseurs, but nevertheless...

I was digging 'round the interweb and came across this interview with Joe Perry briefly discussing a partscaster he and his tech built.
