Wolfgang Van Halen
Richie Kotzen
Kevin Parker (Tame Impala)
Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters. This may no longer be true, but he did early on)
It’s always impressive when you see musicians talented enough to sing, play all the instruments and also often write and produce/engineer the recordings.

While Van Morrison predominantly records with a band, he is a multi-instrumentalist that plays everything but the drums when recording or at least giving direction to the band. It may not specifically qualify to your OP, but I wanted to throw this out there in case people forget just how phenomenal he is

Ellen Alaverdyan and Melissa Moriskova did it at age 10 - guitar, bass, keys and drums.
In one of Sina Doering's vids I counted her playing 12 different instruments, including "tapping" an electric guitar with her drumsticks.
Mayte Levenbach says she never met a musical instrument she didn't want to play, and she was a world class violin prodigy. Can also catch her playing piano and electric guitar and singing in multiple languages.

Also, Pete Townshend made a complete demo tape of "Tommy" to present to the band before recording. It's very interesting.
