As of right now, the oldest famous metal guitarist (age-wise) who still plays the genre is Glenn Tipton of Judas Priest, being 64 years old as of December of 2011. Second oldest would be Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath, being 63 years old.

But, if you were talking about who was one of the first metal guitarist and is still playing the genre to this day, that would be Tony Iommi, who has been in Black Sabbath since 1968 and released their first record (which is considered the first metal record) in 1969. Judas Priest didn't release their first record until 1974, and didn't release something that was considered "true" metal until 1976.
