Frank Sinatra

Oh, guitar, right... I guess Kirk Hammett for the money. Or Slash just to be so cool. Hendrix would've been good except for the being dead bit. I guess Steve Vai would cover all the bases technique-wise so I could play anything I liked if I were him.

Nah coolness wins - its Slash.

Ummm.....

It's a toughy...

I'm gonna say Frank Zappa, mainly coz you said 'musician' rather than specifically a dedicated guitarist, though he was unique in that too.
