Jack White / raconteurs / white stripes
i'm surprised there is no topic about this guy !
i can't say he's one of my favorite guitarists of all times but he's certainly one of the most interesting actual internationaly known guitarists (of his generation).
he also has one of the best guitar tone of that generation's bands as well as a nice voice.
he's a good producer and composer that becomes better with age and work through the different LP's and bands he plays in.
i didn't really liked the first LP's before Elephant (or so , not sure of the lp's name) and the hits that were on that LP but i think he really catches the 70's rock tone in his music , adding his personal touch.
i dig the warm analog tone he gets on his LP's.

here's the link to wiki, there's most of the gears he uses:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_White ... _and_sound
he also uses the ZVEX Z factory fuzz for his solo sounds in the raconteurs (with his custom made gretsch duo jet guitars).
one of the finest actual rock tones !

Apparently he's got two of the Silvertone 100watt 6x10 amps that he uses quite a bit.
I'm not a huge fan, but I don't dislike his work either, and I find it to be some of the best stuff on the "new" radio station around here. I did have a listen to the new album, Icky Thump. The studio/production on this album far surpasses the more low-fi sounds of the first two albums -- which I like as well -- but sonically it's neat to hear what they can do with a bit more time and a bit better a studio.
