You've probably already seen this guy's YouTube videos. Absolutely amazing. Check out his rendition of Toto's 80s hit "Africa," and the song "Drifting." His playing reminds me of (an updated) Stanley Jordan and Michael Hedges, rest in peace.

Yeah I was sent a link to 'Drifting' described as 'This man plays the guitar like it was an indivisible part of his own body'.
He's a skilled player but it's not just showing off - it's a really nice sound he's got going on.
I also got a link to this 8-string madness:

He tends to spend a lot of his time in the western US and the UK, based on this: http://www.myspace.com/andymckee2 . But he is headed to Tokyo this fall.

Yeah this guy is very good. You can see the feeling, finesse, and intensity that he plays with in this video. Since I'm a long time Metal fan he reminds me of some other great guitar players like.
