I've been collecting a fair amount of Santana lately, and voted for him.  Stolt is also excellent of course.  Scofield is technically better than either, but I like his music the least of these three.  Special mention to an other: Neil Schon of Journey (forget the popular stuff, listen to their first three albums).

bla bla jazz guitarist bla bla.

See? We're not a bunch of buffoons after all! OK I am at least...

Tim Smith for best guitarist- 

1. Because he' beautiful.

2. While not necessarily the best in a technical sense, his parts are usually very complex.

3. Because I can't think of anyone else that starts with S at the moment.

Roine has become one of my favorite guitarists of late, so he definitely gets my vote.

How  about Chris Spedding.....he must be here somewhere? Eric Stewart is a possibility.....Andy Summers?

Of course. Andy Scott of the Sweet is my favourite. Sweet for PA!!!!

I must have missed that in the 30 years I have been listening to him.

Silly me. Yes.
Sylvian plays the guitar, of course. Why not?Confused
