I guess in theory though as I'm not gigging I only 'need' one guitar.
But sometimes just playing at home, I've been trying to work on something with little success and then picked up a different guitar and it's come out easily.
A little bit if variety might be useful...
As my musical taste widened, there were sounds that my Strat couldn't cover and I started to add other guitars.
I now have a solid guitar with humbuckers, a semi-solid with humbuckers, a Dreadnought acoustic, an electro-nylon string, a steel stung travel guitar, another Strat fitted with a Roland GR pick-up which is also set up for slide and a bass...
They all have a musical 'purpose'. To be fair, if times were really hard, I could lose a couple but none were bought as simply 'throphies'.
A friend of mine has 2 PRSs, two Strats, a Blade R4, an Historic Les Paul, a Suhr, 2 Music Mans and a few others - and both a MkIII and a MkIV Boogie....
I think there is a difference between stock-piling guitars for the sake of it and having a range of instruments which get used for there differing tonal qualities.
That said, life was simpler when I only had the Strat....
Why would you say such a thing?

If your friend has problems accepting the Duolian back, I've always wanted one, but have never been able to justify buying one.
If he'd like to lend it to me permanently, I would be okay with that. Hope this helps....
Don't get a mint one, look for one with a bit of wear and damage around the top of the headstock - as well as one with a thicker 'wrist' area behind the nut - they do vary (although 50s ones are generally thicker here), and some are much stronger than others, it's very dependent on the exact piece of wood and how much the grain follows the curve.

In 2006-ish I had three middling electrics and a budget acoustic. I sold them and bought a Strat and a Takamine. That was it. Just the two.
Now in 2014 I've still got the thembut they've been joined by a CV Tele, a £50 back up acoustic, a bass, and an 'ebay mistake' SG copy I got for £25.
In an ideal world I'd still just have the two, but I suppose I can just about justify the extra purchases (cover different ground etc).
So in my limited experience what you say makes sense but itneeds a high level of discipline and contentment to stick with it.
