Top Guitarists Nominations, Sweet 16

[gordy]

Nominate sixteen guitarists and we'll have a ladder run off for the top favourite guitarist.

One nominee per person!

We'll take the top first 16, then paired it down to eight, to four, then two, and have a final match.

My nominee: Jimmy Page

Well, since he never gets in the top guitarist charts due to being a international, I nominate
