Wow. I'll go with the names that just jumped immediately into mind, with no particular thought as to who I should include. They are also not necessarily direct influences, I just love listening to them. Oddly enough, not even ten!
Ed Bickert
Jim Hall
Peter Bernstein
Jonathan Kreisberg
Gene Bertoncini
Johnny Smith

I love Scott Henderson, Mike Miller and Allan Holdsworth too as much as some of these other players but I would probably put them in their own category.

Les Paul
Kenny Burrell
Grant Green
Allan Holdsworth (I think, he was so far beyond my compehension that he ought to be on the list)
Just my opinion, FWIW.

Bill Jennings (and Billy Butler... because of that one solo that we all gotta learn to play the blooz right)
Grant Green
Wes Montgomery
Jim Hall
Billy Bean
Jimmy Raney
Joe Cohn
Andy Brown
Bobby Broom
Peter Bernstein
(One day I will get a lesson from each of those modern masters... One day... )
Special Mention: Barry Galbraith... some people lament not being able to study with Ted Greene (I would have loved to).
I would have loved to study with Barry Galbraith in person... I have studied with people who studied with Galbraith, but experiencing his stuff first hand... At least we have his books
10 is 10 too few...

Maybe not 10, but
The jazz guitar Mt Rushmore:
Wes
Joe
Pat
John McLaughlan (the Teddy Roosevelt choice)
And then:
Lee Ritenour’s Stolen Moments is one of my favourite jazz guitar recordings but I wouldn’t put Lee on a list of jazz guitarists.
I liked what I heard of Mark Whitfield and Peter Leitch. Ulf Wakenius.
I tried hard to like Jim Hall but I failed. Similarly Kenny Burrell and Grant Green.

I’m a little all over the place with this, with a little modern and a little old school, but what the heck. In alphabetical order, my personal ten favorites:
Kenny Burrell
Larry Carlton
Grant Geissman
Grant Green
John McLaughlin
Pat Metheny
Wes Montgomery
Joe Pass
Django Reinhardt
John Scofield
Painfully, in order to keep it to ten, I had to leave off some of my other favorites including Charlie Christian, Herb Ellis, Alan Holdsworth, Barney Kessel, Bucky Pizzarelli, John Pizzarelli, and Lee Rintenour.

Add me to the list of individuals who detest lists.

I’m sure we’ve all seen this happen, but, one morning, at a big band rehearsal, the conductor was trying to explain something to the guitarist. I should add that the conductor knew next to nothing about playing guitar.
In frustration, the conductor tried a different approach.
“Who is your favourite guitarist?”he asked the guitarist.
”Jeremy Brown,” the guitarist answered.
The conductor was confused. He’d never heard of Jeremy Brown. “Who is Jeremy Brown?” he asked.
”I am,” came the reply.

Herb Ellis (although only listen to him w/ Oscar Peterson)
Pat Metheny
John Scofield

Allan Holdsworth
