Guitar
Piano is easy once you got it down, all the notes are in the same position for all 8+ different octaves. Guitars notes are scattered all over which makes every scale a new 'joy' to learn. Bass, well, Bassists dont need to play chords, most of the time they just need to walk (for the more experienced onces). Drums, well Once you have your Snare Tom and Kick etc its just a matter of getting those tight, with guitar learning the basics is never enough if you want to take it seriously.
Granted that most classical stringed instruments are difficult.
The one thing you are forgetting about the piano is that in order for you to use scales/modes properly is that you actually have to know the intervals of every scale and the position of every key. On a Guitar, you can play any chord once you know the basic barre shapes. The same with scales, if you know the shape its just a matter of moving it up and down on the fretboard. Not so with pianos. I still think a guitar has more nuances to learn (pick attack angle, pressure etc, pinch harmonics, natural harmonics, bends, hammer-ons and pull-offs). That said, the same applies to bowed instruments except you don't have frets (frets are wonderfully useful, they make the guitar easy to play). I still think the bowed instruments are the toughest.
