He really tore it up on Sky Church Hymn #9.
And, he's primarily a keyboard player!

Others Already mentioned:
Phil Manzanera
Dave Bainbridge

Sancious is an OUTSTANDING nomination, thanks!!  He rips on guitar and keys!!

of course you are...  but tricky b*****d you are...  that is a trick question.

Isn't meeting an orthadonist with a strong oral fixation like in the top 5 male fantasies ie bucketlists of ever hot blooded male. 

ie there are no under-appreciated orthodontists..

I am sure he isn't under appreciated by fans of the band,
But Ian Crichton of Saga is fantastic.
He may surprise  a few folks, if they heard him.
Shake & bake.

NP: Adagieto from EOS

I would think that two very special guitarists deserve a mention here, for their work, although for the most part I am not sure that most people can handle it ... these are strong, weird and further out in left field kind of position.

John Weinzierl - AD2 ... no one could use effects and placed an amazing sound in such incredible spots within the music. And he could also improvise from here to Pluto and back. Witness YETI, the main piece in the album, which is stated to be an improvisation!

Ax Genrich - Guru Guru first several albums. I picked up his 3 solo albums, because I thought this guy would be interesting and off his rock'er! Yep .. he is that and then some. But for sheer insanity and sound and noise, no one could come close to what he did on the first Guru Guru albums, and how 2 of those pieces are still played today left and right.

Have you ever heard Eddy Marron of Dzyan? You might dig that.

Good call on Justin Hayward back there; most often celebrated for his vocals and songwriting, but he could play some real tasty guitar. 

Ok, how 'bout Pye Hastings? 

You're right. Andy is actually a really good, if unorthodox, player. Excellent ear for strange voicings and beautiful dissonance. He and Dave together created some pure six string magic.

I agree that Gary Green is one of those under-appreciated, but great guitarists.
Another one worth to be mentioned here is Denis Jalbert (Hamadryad).

If no one said him yet then Steven Wilson. A much better guitarist than given credit for.

Alex Sandor Szalay of the Hungarian Fusion/Symphonic band Panta Rhei 

His brother Andras was also the Bassist of the group and is a excellent Underrated player too.

How about Muck Groh? Here his solo album "Muckef**k" (German word for ersatz coffee; has nothing to do with the f-word, so it is silly that this site hides the title).
 

He also plays the bass guitar on this album.

The term virtuoso seems to be reserved for those who have some kind of technical ability(ie shredding)or classical training. I usually see it applied to the neo classicalists like Uli Jon Roth, Ygwie Malmsteen but also to Steve Morse, Al Dimeola as well as the guitar hero guys like Satriani and Steve Vai.

I don't know if he is a virtuoso, but he is pretty skilled and very distinctive sounding, though he doesn't sacrifice the "song" to his technique, and he is Mirek Gil from Collage, Believe and Mr Gil.
The solo is after 3 mins

Micky Jones and Deke Leonard of Man.. 2 of the best, most inventive rock guitarists ever!!

And I agree whole heartedly regarding Donald 'Buck Dharma' Roeser of Blue Oyster Cult.. a fantastic rock guitarist.. as was Ronnie Montrose, also already mentioned,
