Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Johnson, Joe Satriani, Marty Friedman and so many others I couldn't list them all. I have favorites from country, jazz, blues, rock, metal, instrumental, classical, flamenco... basically any player who plays with intensity, melody, phrasing and timing is worthy to be on my list. How could anyone pick just ONE? Glad you didn't make us!
Though, I really enjoy Joe Satriani... if I had one person I'd want to study with, it would be him... not because I want to be a rock god, which I don't, I just happen to feel Satriani's music in my soul more than any other, and I wish to one day be able to create music that hits me just like his music hits me.
