I'd say Mark KNOPFLER, from dire straits, was the first guitarist I really recognized...
Then Satch, but I'd say more with his technique than his tone...
Santana, he has a gorgeous tone too, and a phrasing that's really close to the human voice.
Most recognizable guitar tone...

Id say George Harrison has the most recognisable tone, for me anyway. I reckon anyone even non-guitarists would know his tone because his playing is so famous.
For me, Slash. Id recognise his playing anywhere aswell.
Santanas tone is cool too.

I hate to sound mainstream, but I would say, Wes Borland formerly of Limp Bizkit, has a very unique tone, and style. The way he mixes delay, and how he uses pulloff's and hammer-on's, almost as a sixth sense. He's not the best guitarist in the world, but I can tell when he's come up with a song. The first time i listened to Duke Lion, by his side band, Big Dumb Face, I knew it was him, even before i knew it was his side band. That's the only guitarist I can think of from my generation of music, that I can pick out, having that all nu-metal bands that come out now, all sound the same. =( o well.

Larry Carlton...A 335 semi-hollowbody with light distortion running through a Dumble amp!!!!(It's a Beautiful sound).

I've heard so many goos reviews about Larry CARLTON, and I have never heard any of his material... Robben FORD loves him, and he is one of the best studio players around, but I can't say what he sounds like... It's a shame...

Your missing out!!
Actually you probably heard him before and never realized it, he was a major studio musician in the 70's, recorded a lot with Steely Dan (thats him on kid charlegmene)
If your gonna pick up one of his cd's I suggest getting his older stuff on the rca label, his newer stuff is kinda smooth jazzy. Last Nite..definetely a Larry Carlton classic cd.

I know I've must have heard him, just like Tommy TEDESCO...
I've heard a little of his duo with Steve LUKATHER, but it was more Rock than jazz, it was pretty cool actually...

Jason/Marty sound like no-one else, bends/vibrato/just that lil somehting else too,ya know the "feel"..Nuno's tone rules ,even moreso when on the neck p/u and he goes all hollow, i love that sound, and satch the way he kind of brushes the string with his hand when he picks,not sloppy, but on purpose, on slow stuff..umm hard to explain..like rubina/forgotten pt 2, that sound, like so many overtones..thats unique to him,andy timmons his energy when playing is instantly reconisable.umm..so many more!

The Edge - You could recognise almost any U2 song just by the guitar. True its mostly just delay but its unique.

I'm probably older then most of you, however there are several very recognizable guitar tones that when I hear them - I know. Dickie Betts & Warren Haynes of the Allman Brother Band, Eric Clapton (Although not so much anymore), Santana, B.B. King, to name but a few
Live for the tone
