I'm a guitarist myself, but haven't received any musical training. But that's probably because I put more emphasis in playing violently than playing good. If I had more interest in my technical abilities, I'd probably start receiving musical training
Talking about my favorite guitarists, I don't know if they're educated or not (I'm not a fan of the ones you mentioned in the first post), and I don't care either. thejoj96 gave the right answer

Jimmy Page, David Gilmour, Syd .... at least from those days and as it applies to rock music, those who learned by playing ended up ruling the pack. Don't know if it is still true nowadays.
Virtuoso, classically trained guitarist just have a tendency towards more jazz or classical music and usually enter the rock-pop-mainstream arena through the back door such as many guys did with the Mahavishnu Orchestra or stick to RIO.

Grizzly Bear is interesting for this specific subject. Ed Droste (one of the two frontmen) is basically self taught and plays by ear, and the other frontman and rest of the band are all clasically trained. Kind of an interesting dynamic that seems to work for them extremely well.
As far as playing goes, typically I suppose the untrained players play with a bit more emotion, so I prefer that. But that's totally generalizing and not true in all cases.

So true. But I think some of the best guitarists are the ones that have lessons but are also self taught in areas of music such as composing.
