Well, if your willing to concede that "Guitar Players" magazine is a source
to respect, why don't you  say who has won the "best overall guitarist" more 
times than Steve Morse?  Steve Howe is the only guitarist to win it 5 times 
and is the only guitarist to be promoted to the "Hall of Fame" in the "overall"
category.  In your own words, this claim is "practically unchallengeable".
