Even Hendrix himself thought there were better guitar players than himself back in the day. Terry Kath (Chicago) comes to mind as a guitarist that Hendrix considered his superior.

The thing with Hendrix is that while he was innovative, he was not the be all end all to the instrument. It's just as foolish to dismiss him as overrated as it is to worship him as infallible. For every awesome part on Electric Ladyland there's a part that sounds like a leftover from Axis.
