In no particular order:
John Sykes - big, meaty, riffs and a great song writer
Ace Frehley - not the most gifted player, but he's got a style that can't be denied
Joe Perry - the personification of the word "cool"
Lindsey Buckingham - love his playing, hate is experimental, "artistic", egocentric attitude
Doug Aldrich - the perfect combination of Randy Rhoads style and John Sykes substance... an absolute monster of a pairing with David Coverdale
Stevie Ray Vaughn - no comments necessary... and I was a fan before his tragic death, so no dead hero worship going on here

Today - Buckethead because he shreds plus he can play melodic. Michael & Chris Amott are amazing on the new Arch Enemy and Dusty and Paul from Between The Buried and Me are incredible as well
David Gilmore for classic

Steve Howe of Yes and Asia. He is a seemingly limitless well of musical expression. He also executes his craft with a depth of emotion that I have yet to hear from ANYone else in music. I highly recommend his work to anyone who loves guitar music.
If you want your son to be a great guitarist, name him Steve. Some of my other favorites are Steve Miller and Stephen Stills.
