I don't know about Sting (wtf?) but I do know that Charlie Christian is an essential jazz figure - he totally fueled Benny Goodman's band and his instrument was as important as any of the others. And of course there's Django. And Wes Montgomery. Check your wiki. In the meantime here's some Charlie Christian who I feel revolutionized Jazz with his guitar
