Knopfler is another of my favorites although I've caught crap for liking him on this board. Amazing songwriter great guitarist. He gets lumped in with Clapton, SRV, and that ilk way too often. Knopfler is much more of a Chet Atkins, Hank Marvin type of player.
I'm a huge fan of Knopfler's guitar playing. Bare fingers all the
way: incredible. I totally agree that there's a strong Hank Marvin /
Chet influence. I liked a lot of his work with Dire Straits, but his
solo stuff has really left me cold. To me it's mostly watered-down
country-pop-fluff.

Robert Johnson, B.B. King, Buddy Guy and maybe Duane Eddie.
As a quartet, the only question is, who plays which guitar...
1 Jazzmaster
1 Jaguar
1 Stratocaster
1 Mosrite

chuck berry - mean, sloppy and with loads of attitude.
Id also like to hear Pavement as a band try some surf, because of their weird but great sense of melody, and raw yet sweet tones, and wild sounding drums.....

Todd Rundgren, he's been living on Kauai, something should have rubbed off by now.

For me, Ritchie Blackmore, absolutely. In the Dio-fronted seventies version of Rainbow he extensively used the Byzantine and Hungarian Minor scales (check out the main riff and the lengthy solo in Stargazer), pretty much the only guitarist back then to use those scales. He used single-coils and Strats, and was fond of his tape echo. And he could tremolo pick with the best of them (check out Kill the King solo).

Even the album artwork for Rainbow Rising would make the perfect surf cover:

OK, I don't really want to hear him do surf.

Steve Morse might come up with something totally different while still sounding surfy. I saw him last year with Deep Purple and watching him is like attending a guitar clinic, whether he's palying a Deep Purple song or one of his own compositions......he's just amazing!

1. BRIAN SETZER!!!!Absolutely!
He's already delved into Surf a little bit with Hawaii Five-O, Pipeline, and other covers. His instrumental "Jade Idol" off of Choo Choo Hot Fish sounds like a surf ballad to me. But I'd love to see him do a surf album of original material.
2. Junior Brown.
He's also touched on Surf with a couple of surf medleys, but I'd like to hear an album of surf orginals from him.
Both these guys mix a lot of "surf" elements into their playing no matter what type of music they are doing. They also happen to be my two favorite guitarists.
3.Danny Gatton
With the volume of unreleased material he left behind, maybe there's an undiscovered surf album in there somewhere.

Setzer's cover of Sleepwalk off the Choo Choo Hot Fish album (the most underrated Stray Cats album ever, IMHO) is the best version I've ever heard.
I'd also love to hear Brown do it.

setzer has a crappy guitar tone in all of choo choo...sounds too modern and lacks that rockabilly charm. the acoustic in sleepwalk and my heart is a liar sounds better than any of the gretsch parts in the entire album. definetely the worst stray cats work i've ever heard, but it has some alright songs.

East Bay Ray from the Dead Kennedys.
He already did that, the band was called "Jumbo Shrimp" and featured Ray and DKs bassist Klaus Fluoride both playing guitars. They put out a record called "Thingie" and that's the last I heard of 'em.
from what i hear that album is extremely rare...
