Alright, here's a dude most haven't heard of outside of guitar circles, Greg Koch.
Dude can not only play but is famous for his witty guitar reviews for Wildwood guitars.
He's been featured in Guitar Player Magazine, Joe Bonamassa called him a "phenom," and Fender Guitars listed him in their “Top Ten Unsung Guitarists.”
I'm subscribed to Wildwood guitars just to hear Greg's banter and play on different guitars.

Now, you girls are just naming guitarists you've heard of before.
Awe, GFY...

Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue. Pronoun: Yes, SIR !

Greg Koch is a hoot. And a very fine picker.

Half the guitar players listed here are commonly acknowledged as great guitarists. How can they be "underrated"?
More than half. It's a lot easier to rate the over rated guys because they have a rating.
Good observations. Didn't quite know how to respond to the OP because I don't have the rating chart.

Larry LaLonde. The dude has spent most of his career content as second fiddle to Les Claypool, but he can absolutely rip (listen to some of the pre-Primus metal bands he was in like Possessed). He also just knows how to fill space perfectly within Primus' groove.

Ry Cooder and David Lindley, especially when they played together. Pete Anderson on the first dozen or so Dwight Yoakam records. Okie John
If Montana had a standing army, a 270 Win with Federal Blue Box 130's would be the standard issue.

Considered to be one of the top 10 guitar players of all time, if not THE best, he's not what anyone would consider underrated.

I agree with pretty much all the guitarists that have been posted so far but, haven't seen Paul Gilbert.

Just out of curiosity, I just went through all 7 pages of this post. Y'all missed a couple! LOL! 1. Chet Atkins 2. Richard Smith - When Richard was 13, he played with Chet Atkins. Chet called him a phenom then. 3. Mason Williams - "Classical Gas" 4. Roy Clark 5. Andy Griffith There are tons of talented guitarist out there. Many who would be revered in any recording studio in the world, but just how many top notch guitarists chase recording dreams? How many guitar pickers in Nashville, The number of ants on a Tennessee ant hill! LOL!
