I do have two electrics because I wanted a bit of variety when recording but haven't really recorded anything for ages.
In terms of electrics I have three that are my Stones tribute "uniform" (as Keef I have a LP Black Beauty, 72 Tele Custom with Variax innards and a Guild M75). Then I have one "other" that I take out for non-stones gigs. This one tends to change from time to time as I search for the ultimate do-everything guitar. That's about it these days. I've tried owning another LP on multiple occasions but I always end up moving them on as it just seems silly to have one alongside the Black Beauty.
Two other important motivations for keeping the numbers to a minimum - insurance cost and setup/maintenance cost. I wouldn't want to "run" 15 electric guitars in the same way I wouldn't want more than one estate car and one runaround in the family!
Pedals are a bit different due to their smaller footprint (in terms of both space and cost) so I worry less about having loads hanging around doing nothing.

Used to know someone who would spend ridiculous money on house music vinyl every week but then scrimp to the extreme about everything else, e.g. saying that anyone who pays for a takeaway curry is mad when it's cheaper to get one out of the supermarket lol
Just mentioning this for the sake of interest but psychological studies have found that generally, spending money on doing things rather than spending it on acquiring things gives people more long term happiness.
Suhr Alt T = articulate
Les Paul Special = fat
FGN Odyssey = fun
I'm not a member of a golf course or gym.
I don't own any super expensive watches, bicycles, clothes or drive a super flash car.
I've been playing for nearly twenty six years. I've spent a small fortune on stomp boxes and have only had 16 guitar's in that length of time. Four of those were over £1000. I've currently got six , one doesn't really count as it's a £20 piece of junk.....I do have a rather special unexpected NGD coming though.
SSS Strat because I need one like every other guitar player does
P90 Tele, was a gift, use to have HBs but it's been modified to look very 1970s, a keeper
SS Tele, because (see Strat)
SS Jaguar, because surf and grunge and 24" scale
P90 John Lennon Casino, because 24.75" scale, it sounds amazing, hollow body, my daughter loves The Beatles and sometimes I find myself sad about John and spinning *Plastic Ono Band* for prolonged stretches.
Acoustic:
Guild D40 Traditional, because solid wood, mahogany, extremely nice, great for country and blues
D'Angelico Excel Bowery, because solid wood, rosewood, electronics, 25" scale, Venetian cutaway, very nice for rock guitar and fingerpicking
Vintage Yamaha FG-340, my birth year and open F tuning
Vintage Yamaha FG-180, because Elliott Smith, open G tuning
If I start thinking of which ones to let go I enter a maze of confusion, so I let it be.
I mean you can play pretty much any style on any guitar.
