Oh man, there are no 15 guitarists who have influenced me - at least I think so. So how do we define influence? Does this imply that you study their style, cover their songs, maybe you just like them and listen a lot to their music...?
Guitarists that really influenced me, because I like/liked listening to their music a lot, their technique/style were a big part of my guitar studies and I am/was a big fan of theirs:
1. Jimi Hendrix
2. SRV
3. Joe Satriani
4. Kirk Hammett
5. Steve Vai
Sorry, but that's about all the guitar dudes... ;-)
Musicians that influenced me generally, and I pick only those that had a big part in my development as musician/guitarist:
1. Jeff Buckley
2. John Williams
3. Abdullah Ibrahim
4. Richie Kotzen - as a songwriter
Finito.

Interesting to see Kotzen on your list. I want one of his telecasters....*drools
Glad to see him on another list. Jonny's an endless source of inspiration for me.Originally Posted by syo

It's cool to see the diversity of influneces, as well as the guitarists we have in common.
Paul Gilbert
Steve Vai
Alex Skolnick
Michael Wilton
Chris Degarmo
George Lynch
Jimmy Page
Angus Young
Malcom Young
James Hetfield
David Gilmour
EVH
Lindsey Buckingham
Adrian Smith
Dave Murray
There are others.
Guitars:
Fender 2006 MIM Fender Stratocaster HSS in 3TS
Ibanez RG 570 with a bridge Invader
ESP M II Deluxe with a Tune-o-Matic bridge
Eleanor, the magical, mystical Road Worn wonder Tele
Blackstar HT Club 40

Pat Travers
EVH
Joe Perry
Jimmy Page
Hendrix
Ray Flacke
Gary Rossington
Scott Gorham
Brian Robertson
Tony Iommi
Buck Darmha
Ace
Alex Lifeson
J Giels... the list goes on
Just about everyone I've ever listened to has influenced me to one extent or the other. My main list would include guys like:
George Lynch (go figure)
Randy Rhoads
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Eddie Van Halen
Jake E. Lee (Ozzy, Badlands)
K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton (Judas Priest)
Dave Murray and Adrian Smith (Iron Maiden)
Then there are some guys that are mainly in the category "I wish I could play like that but I never will":
Yngwie J. Malmsteen
Michael Angelo Batio
Every other neoclassical guy (or girl, viz, Jennifer Batten)
Guys from instructional videos that really seemed to click with me:
Doug Marks (Metal Method)
Keith Wyatt
Then there'd be the bassists because that's where I started. Bass playing still influences my guitar playing:
Rudy Sarzo (Quiet Riot, Ozzy, Whitesnake, and everybody else in the 80s)
John Deacon (Queen)
Steve Harris (Iron Maiden)
Geddy Lee
Billy Sheehan (mainly for saying that it's OK to tap on a bass)
Beyond that pretty much everybody who has ever played blues or metal has had an influence.
Axen: Jackson DK2M, Fender Deluxe Nashville Telecaster, Reverend Warhawk 390, Taylor 914ce, ESP LTD Surveyor-414
Amphen: Jet City JCA22H and JCA12S cab, Carvin X-60 combo, Acoustic B20
Effecten: "Thesis 96" Overdrive/Boost (aka DVM OD2), Hardwire DL-8 Digital Delay/Looper, DigiTech Polara Reverb, DigiTech EX-7 Expression Factory and CF-7 Chorus Factory, Danelectro CF-1 Cool Cat Fuzz
"I wish Imagine Dragons would be stuck in an Arcade Fire for an entire Vampire Weekend."--Brian Posehn
The three biggest influences, both in my playing and songwriting:
Grant Nicholas
Tim Wheeler
Charlotte Hatherley
The remaining 12 in no particular order:
John Frusciante
Chris Demakes
Matthew Bellamy
Ray Toro
Frank Iero
Matthew Murphy
Kurt Cobain
Billie Joe Armstrong
Brad Delson
Daron Malakian
Kelly Jones
Mikko Lindström
There's more than that of course, they're just the main ones.
I've tried to be honest with this. I like - and listen to - Iommi, Hendrix, etc. but they haven't had much - if any - influence on my playing or songwriting. They're great guitarists, but everyone lists them.

I had to think about this one over the 2 hours walk it took to tire out the dog , i must admit i`m more into bands as a whole or maybe songs rather than individual guitarists, but in no particular order
Neil Young- nobody can get so much out of one string
Steve Cropper - less is more
Lightnin` Hopkins - my favourite bluesman
Johhny Marr - i still don`t know how he does it
George Harrison - where would we be without him .
Roger Mc`Guinn - pushed me into country
David Rawlings - plays my kind of country
Mick Taylor/Keef - The Stones at their best
Jimmy Page - we`ve all wanted to play like him at some point
Stevie Ray - keep searching for the tone
Johhny Cash - boom chicka boom
Dan Auerbach - so much noise for 2 people to make
Scotty Moore - still makes the hairs on my arms raise
There will be another load when the dog gets her walk tomorrow probably
