Most of mentioned guitarists here are named and mentioned all overover the news and everyone in the world knows them.

Tonerager58 mentioned great list of unknown and underground guitarists.

Not sure if anyone mentioned Mark Ribot who used to accompany Tom Waits... Speaking of Tom Waits as multi-instrumentalist and guitarist as well. Oh well!..
