Tokai 'Breezysound'(Telecaster) & 'Surfsound'(Strat). I had the Strat one and I wish I had it now as they are worth a fortune!

Looks like EMG HB pickups, too narrow for 35's, wish I could zoom on the logo on the bottom right of the pickup

I was thinking the same thing.  EMG's.
 
It was originally fitted with Barts.

Lukather had an endorsement with Fernandes in those days so his red strat was in all probability one of the guitars he got through that deal.

That's what I was thinking about . . . wonder if it was cheaper with an UN-Synchronized wiggle stick ?
 
Floyds were big fun back in the day; played with a guitar player who just frammed the hell out of his strings, and he'd invariably break one (after chasing tuning all night long first, it was a really early iteration Floyd that did NOT have the fine tuners), and just flip out having to try and unscrew the locking clamp at the nut.  It's a wonder he didn't have a stroke.

From what I can tell from that frame, Lukather's guitar doesn't have a Top Lock so it's safe to say that it doesn't have a Floyd Rose either.  My music teacher back in primary School had a Fernandes Lukather but a different version: Sunburst with EMG SA pickups and a Floyd Rose.  

  I also just found out that the Red Lukather Signature model was a copy of a Schecter: here's Lukather's actual Schecter and the Fernandes that was based on that guitar.  

 Note also that in the still, Lukather's guitar has a headstock logo while his original doesn't, so he's playing a Fernandes in the video.

The Lukather guitar I've been lusting for so many years, however, is this beautiful Valley Arts... It would either be this... or preferably an Alembic California Special on a similar color shade :P
