You could try working vaguely chronologically; the early pioneers - Eddie Lang, Charlie Christian etc., leading into the dominants of the Swing and Bop era - Barney Kessel, Herb Ellis, Tal Farlow, Joe Pass, through to modern exponents merging jazz and fusion with world music stylings - John McLaughlin, John Abercrombie, Bill Conners, Al di Meola, Mike Stern, etc.
Kessel, Ellis and Charlie Byrd had a band with the three guitars to the fore - with due modesty, they went out under "The Great Guitars" - albums on Concord label
Kessel, Pass, Ellis, Farlow all have albums as leaders under their belts - Discogs or Wikipedia for discographies.
Kessel, along with Shelly Manne and Ray Brown, recorded a series under the heading "The Pollwinners", celebrating the three of them winning Downbeat readers polls...
