It's kind of hard to decide where blues stops and rock begins sometimes. My favorite blues players are:

BB King
Robert Johnson
Mark Knolpfer

And you can play the blues on just about any guitar, I will break into blues riffs with any of mine. However, I find that my Melody Maker seems best suited to the bill. Simple and stripped down as all hell, yet silky smooth and elegant at the same time.

So many great blues players,,not enough room on the page.

Hound Dog Taylor
Big Bill Broonzy
Elmore James, one of my absolute favorites
BB King
Clapton/Mayall

Gary Moore's "Still Got the Blues" is slick, but nice
And, yeah, old ZZ Top captured a lot of Texas style roadhouse blues.

This forum is mostly about metal but I don't listen to many of those 80s stuff a lot of you seem to be about... I play Blues on my model series.
