Id have to say The Edge from U2.

If you look back at all there albums and see how much his style has changed from record to record....its just stunning to hear it.

Ive recently look at his setup..which is insane might i add.Alot of his stuff is run off alot off delays and effects.And i know alot of U2's songs are guitar specific.So i know if Mysterious Ways is being played hes going to pull out his Rickenbaker
