Guitar is a Rock and Roll kind of instrument. All roads lead back to Chuck Berry.

Django reinhardt is without a doubt in my mind number 1. He influenced everybody who came after him. Chet atkins, bb king both named him as the most influential who ever lived. With the quintet he was the first to use guitars as a percussion instrument and with that created the rythem/lead guitar concept.

There are many influential (and as I have stated before who is the most influential is debatable, as we do here) since the guitar is so old that even stradivarius made 3 (alright 10 strings but still) but for the rest I would say:
Atkins
Clapton (first to use wah wah, and to me he has the ulitimate taste in playing and musical arrangement http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-twOjwBORwg)
berry
Hendrix (he influenced a lot of ppl)
and many of the ones mentioned here before.
