Who is, in your opinion, a guitarist who is/was very popular but on a technical level rather average or worse?

This would probably include some on my favorites, but they have the tone and I don't consider that technical, it's natural. You either have it or you don't.
Most of the best technically, don't have the tone that hits me.

I'll second that. I saw him open for Jeff Beck a few years ago. Yeah, he's fast, knows all the licks, but there was zero soul coming out of those speakers. Jeff Beck, on the other hand...

Him and Clapton are the first that come to mind.
Clapton is a great guitar player but it seems like even his contemporaries overate him. At least he has some memorable parts that he’s written. Bonossoma does a great job of looking the part but from a creative aspect I don’t think he has much to hang his hat on

Tom Morello and The Edge are two that immediately come to mind.

IMO Tom Morello

This again. I'll state an "OPINION" and somebody will argue you with me about how I'm wrong. More entertaining just to read others OPINIONS.
On second thought, I'll bite..... Ace Frehley. I'll leave it at that.

???. Correct on Bonossoma.

First and foremost, I really like AC/DC. Huge fan. Fun, foot stomping, good time having music.
That being said, Angus Young is one of the most overrated guitarist ever.
