Les Paul, possibly? Tony Iommi?
As for "when am I ready?" You'll never be ready. It works in reverse, you become ready by doing it. - pmbomb
He set thousands on the course of buying guitars and reselling them at a loss.
After those it was probably Hank Marvin, Robert Johnson and Clapton that would come next. Probably Chet Atkins but I must admit not knowing enough of his music and influence to understand his place well enough.
Then more controversially I'd lean towards the Edge and Tom Morello for pushing boundaries - but I'm well aware many won't like that

Van Halen
Django Reinhardt

The replacement of the lions in Trafalgar Square might be more appropriate. Maybe with a gigantic Marshall stack replacing Nelson's Column.
Charlie Christian
George Harrison
Jimi Hendrix
Eddie Van Halen
Three innovators, one popularizer. Not that they weren't all a bit of both...
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
Wes Montgomery - The octave
Hendrix - That chord
Niles Rodgers - The Chic rhythm style
Merle Travis - Travis Picking
Hank Marvin - The clean delay + vibrato
EVH - Dive bombing and tapping
The Edge - That rhythmic delay
J Page - power chord riffs
C Berry - for J B Goode
Les Paul - not only for the guitar, but that multi track recording playing back in the 50's
Many many other great players - many better players than above - But have they brought that specific phrase/style to the table
Not saying they’re the best or even my favourites, I’m not much of a Slash or EVH fan, but I’d say those are the cornerstones
Biggest influence on BB King, Freddie King, Albert King, Ike Turner ( who gave us the first rock-'n'-roll record, discovered BB King, discovered Tina Turner and yes was a shmuck), Chuck Berry and them on the Rolling Stones, early Beatles, Clapton ( and therefore Van Halen), some of the showmanship Hendrix had was taken directly from T Bone.
T Bone had been influenced by Charlie Christian, Reinhardt and old school blues players but he ( indirectly at least) effectively gave us electric blues, the British invasion bands and the sixties blues boom which also begat us heavy rock,etc, etc.
It is almost as though you are in a studio - Recording a single and the producers say's I want you to play a solo in the style of : - EVH, Chuck Berry, Hank Marvin, Edge, Merle Travis, etc and you instantly know what is required - Their name is the style
Leo Fender
Jim Marshall
Ted Mc Carty
Les Paul
Then what about R Blackmore - The Paganini/violin/classical style
