Guitar tone so clean, pure, and lush, it almost sounds like a Piano...

You guys know what I mean, when someone has that clean guitar tone that sounds so organic it has that piano quality to it?

Off the top of my head, these guys get pretty close:

Mark Knopfler
Michael A from Opeth. Especially on Blackwater Park.

Who else?
 
Segovia is the master, Julian Bream is awesome also and Gilmour too is capable of that IMO.

+1 for Michael A. Damnation has some haunting clean tone. I'd love to know what he used in the studio to get it.

I'm not sure if it fits the bill, but I've always loved Dave Gilmour's lead tone on Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2. Jimmy Page's rolled off clean tones from the Madison Square Garden show are some of my favorites too; very, very woody.
 
My Rick -> DC-30 on the 12AX7 side, with the Rick in the middle position, all knobs up on the Rick, and the bass/treble at about 11 oclock and 2 oclock respectively.

Damn I forgot about Damnation. Great tones on that album. Very "sultry" if you know what I mean.

Gilmour as well...

There are clean parts on Blackwater Park though that blend with keys so well, it sounds like they're one in the same. Same thing with Damnation. I love that stuff.
 
Steve Vai during parts of Alien Love Secrets
John Williams on "The Guitarist John Williams"
Gilmour too. Definitely Gilmour.

BP is my favorite Opeth record. I really like Damnation though esp Hope Leaves. What a kickass song. Had no idea you were into that shit. Cool.

Hell yeah Brother Opeth fucking rules the planet. I missed them last time they came through, but that Lamentations DVD is nothing short of a masterpiece IMO. I dont like a lot of Death Metal, but Opeth is like the total package. Not to mention Michael's clean voice is awesome. Has that desperate quality to it.
