Most Under Rated?
Really a tough call to name the 5 best of all time. It is easier to name two of the most under rated of all time: George Harrison and Richard Thompson.
Way to go hdog for including Wes Montgomery - No such list is complete without him.

I've heard some top-notch guitarists say that they're constantly amazed by some things Les Paul's played.
Jimmy Page is overrated when it comes to his technical proficiency on the guitar. He's a brilliant musician, but I wouldn't list him in top 5 guitarists ever.
ricahrgl and crazy canuck - the question was asked who are the best guitarists ever. People are going to draw from the music they know, and maybe there are a lot of rock fans here. So jump down from the cultured high-horse and chill...it's just music, man...no need to call people red necks.

I was just messing around, man...still don't think there was any need to call people rednecks, and the remark was more for ricahrgl than you, dude...

Controversy
Holy Tonawanda,
I did not expect this much response.
I would rate Hendrix and Page as 1-2.
Page although drawing some neg remarks was great live.
I love Keith Richards, just for playing for all those years, especially sometimes in a state where the rest of could not stand up. I know he is not the best technically, but a real gift ear-pleasin wise???
