Grant Green was mentioned by many, and was "house" guitarist for Blue Note records in the 60's. From 1960-1965 (legendary years!) he was a sideman on more records than anyone else, on a premier label full of legends making historic recordings. To me, that makes him kinda the king of hardbop guitar.

Mostly a horn genre but the guitarists that come to my mind are of course Pat Martino, Grant Green, early George Benson i.e. Cookbook, Joe Diorio, Ted Dunbar, and Wes.

"Hard bop" was a label used to contrast with "cool jazz".
Cool jazz was mostly West Coast, L.A.-based, while hard bop was East Coast, N.Y.-based.
Subtext was that the L.A. scene was a lot whiter than the N.Y. scene.
Cool jazz had more prominent guitarists, including Johnny Smith, Barney Kessel, and Jim Hall.
Hard bop tended to be more piano- and horn-based, but also includes the organ trio format, which often had guitarists, such as Wes Montgomery, Grant Green, George Benson, and Kenny Burrell.

(its just clicked to me that this title refers to the transition of the two eras)

No guitars, but it's great for jamming along to.

When I think of hard bop, the first thing I think of is Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. The dynamics would be different with a guitar in any of his groups. The horns could often scream and shout, guitars don't have this capability. I think the guitar would tend to get drowned out. Grant Green did some great recordings with Blakey but without horns.

Tony Purrone can play some serious hard bop in the line of Jimmy Raney

(In seriousness I hear about these parts that Grant was a bit Raney fan, which I find to be intriguing.)

Also there is this. It’s not Grant Green but it is acceptable. Classic hard bop lineup.
