That's easy:
-A Les Paul with humbuckers
-A Les Paul with P90s
-A Les Paul with mini-hums
And maybe a Tele.
The end.

Guitars: Lots.
Amphs: More than last year.
Pedals: Many, although I go straight from guitar to amp more often lately.
Afterall these years of playing I tend to say a Strat and a Les Paul.
"A lot of people in the industry want to blame downloading for the state of the business. But I think if most music wasn't shit to begin with people wouldn't be downloading it for free," - Corey Taylor (Slipknot)
I'll echo this open-minded, cover-all-bases notion...
... although with a good semi-hollow in the fold, I think one could get by without a full hollow, and personally, I'd have no use for 'a metal/shred machine'. As for the acoustic, make it a good solid spruce top acoustic/electric, and make the nylon string an a/e, too. If the rhythm chair is your main bag, as it is for me, I'd add an acoustic/electric 12 and an Rick 12 to the must-have list. Add a P-Bass or a short-scale bass (easier to adapt to if not your main thing) and you're set.
That said, it took me quite a while and a series of buys, sells & trades to get there, but I've managed to finally put such a quiver together, with minimal duplication and a few oddballs thrown in for good measure.

This thread makes me think online sellers should put together bundles or strater packs...
Or we could have a rolling group buy: 2 pallets of Strats, 1 pallet of Tele, etc. Who's got a forklift?
Less golf, more saxophone
My picks would be.
SG p90
SG HB
ES 335
Les Paul
Strat Single coil
Tele
