Fripp without question. Probably the most creative guitarist out there.

Never thought the two as comparable, but Fripp is the guy for me.

Read the "John Deacon vs. Geddy Lee" poll for an explanation of this
one (and there's an explanation of that one in it as well).

Sorry Wizard but this poll is absurd. The two are absolutely uncomparable.

for me there's no comparation between robert and bryan, robert is more experimentalist and bryan can burn your head with the sound of his guitar, both are excelents in their way of play guitar... but... FRIPP IS GOD!!!!!!!!!

Fripp may be a jerk in some respects, but he doesn't have a ridiculous poodle perm, isn't married to a soap opera actress with exactly the same hairstyle as himself, isn't currently touring the world with Paul Rodgers (good rock singer though he is) standing in for Freddie Mercury and hasn't had his best songs cannibalised into a third rate West End musical by Ben Elton. Add to that Fripp's musical superiority (no disrespect to May, but he's no great innovator when it comes to technique) and it's a total no brainer.
Fripp!

That's funny; trying to rate/compare Fripp to the Queen guy. No offense to Mr. May, but Fripp is light-years ahead of him, from songwriting skills, to guitarmanship, to creativity and originality, to diversity. That includes Fripp's special guitar tunings, Frippertronics guitar loop soundscapes, teaching acoustic guitar classes, writing books, giving speeches, delving into logic and philosophy, etc. I mean, Brian May is a guitarist. Fripp is a guitarist and about a dozen other things!
FRIPP's THE MAN!
Brian May does get credit for building/designing his trademark guitar (apparently from wood from a fireplace?) and for his early guitar orchestrations.
