Do you actually use them regularly?
Do you only use few of them and simply admire the look of the rest of them?
Something else: what?

When I'm playing a lot I use them all. Right now because of my living situation that is not the case, so my guitars mostly sit in theirs.

If I only played in E std I would only probably have 2 or 3, likely a solid body, semi-hollow, and a hollowbody.

I typically play in either Eb, C#, C, or A standard. All my solid bodies are tuned between those. My two hollowbodies are tuned to E std.
 
I don’t have that many, 8 electrics, 1 six string acoustic Taylor, 1 twelve string Larivee, and a Fender Jazz bass. Different tunings and pickups separate them for different uses
 
I have around 20 stringed instruments floating around. I do a lot of recording, and different tools are handy to have. It's also nice to have a few guitars with different string gauges and tunings for teaching. That way I'm not changing tunings every other lesson.
 
I'm at 17. I rotate and play them all eventually except a few that were gifts. I'd sell some but with the way the used market is I will just keep them. If I was desperate for money it would be a different story.
 
I have 8 electrics, 1 acoustic. 2 of the electrics are under construction. Acoustic doesn't play great but it really sounds good.
I rotate them in/out on a regular basis.
 
I hate that question. When I had more guitars in my younger days I got that question all the time. Now, I'd rather have more amps than guitars. With LPs, no matter how many I had, I always favored one, so I sold the others. When I got divorced (thank God) I was in a really tough financial spot and had to sell quite a few important (to me) guitars to pay bills. It sucked, but life can often suck. Hopefully when I retire in a few years, I can build my collection back up.
