For me it's Bernard Butler, especially his inventive rhythm playing and use of single note melodies.
As mentioned Gaz Coombes is another great player. He played some really nice chords, like in Late In The Day and Movin. He took the odd solo, the Late In The Day solo was his best IMO - very melodic and he navigates the chord progression nicely.
Forgot about McCabe. Awesome
They don't, but they aren't the soundscapes-meets-desert-blues-meets-folk-meets-electronickle mashup that Percy is these days either.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.

Andy Bell (in Ride, pre oasis)
Steve Mason (Gene)
Try jamming along with your average poppy Blur song, he's constantly pulling the rug from under you in an understated way.
His ability to keep things interesting without alienating casual listeners is up there with Steely Dan and The Beatles in my opinion.
It it was a good era for guitar.
Edit. Of Course Steve Craddock, Ocean Colour Scene are far more than the "also ran" band that they seem to be percieved as.
More ideas in one OCS song than in an entire Oasis album IMO, listening back to them now the music is still exciting to listen to, in fact more so for me. I would never have described the Oasis experience as exciting though.
Martin Carr was not the greatest player but was so inventive on the fist two boos albums. Before britpop I suppose.

I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to
I saw Gene live a fair few times and their guitarist Steve Mason could most definitely play.

Oooh I dunno about that. I've got a cheat sheet for the contents of The Guitar Magazine (TGM) and they'd done Blur, TFC, Boo Radleys, James, Lush, Ride, Oasis, Dodgy, Gene, The Verve, Spiritualized, Sleeper, Elastica and Menswear etc etc etc before Britpop was two years old.
