Well over 20 (includes 5 basses).

I play a lot of styles of music and a lot of retro covers. Each guitar has a different sound so it's a nessasary evil in my case.

On stage my playlist usually requires about 10 guitars and all 5 basses for me.

Musicians in my band all play multi-instruments (except drummer) - and even one of our backup singers has to play guitar sometimes - but standard fair is we all rotate instruments and vocal duties to best fit playing/singing of songs as well as our needs for ego nuturing spotlight time, etc.
 
6 currently--

A blue Charvel Surfcaster-- *amazing* clean tones.

A Gibson SG that I bought at a flea market-- yes, a flea market-- for $200. It's in amazing shape, too,

A Taylor CE-615 (if I recall) acoustic/electric.

An Ibanez Artcore

A Goya Dreadnaught that was my first guitar that is kind of my "beater" guitar that I play everywhere

And a sparkly-blue bass of unknown make and model that I adorned with various stickers in order to conceal its sparkly blue-ness.
 
I've got four:

- '83 American Fender Strat
- Schecter C-1 with custom pickups, tuning heads, electronics, strap locks, and soon bridge.
- "Fender" Squire Strat (soon to have upgraded everything)
- Yamaha FG110 Acoustic
 
1998 Carvin AE-185
2005 Ibanez Artcore AG86TRD
2001 Fender Nashville Telecaster (MIM)

Checking in again...

...I've been divesting myself of the ones I don't really play, with one exception.

'30s Regal resonator
'84 Dobro D60
'86 Bull Frog Mountain flamed maple jumbo acoustic
'60s Ventura V6, custom top and bridge
'70 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe
'06 Fender '51 Precision reissue
'07 Fender Classic '50s Precision
'08 Fender Standard FSR Precision w fretless maple neck.

I'm also getting rid of all my big honkin' tube amps, with just a '63 Sears Silvertone Twin Twelve, a recent Pignose G40V with an Eminence speaker, an early '70s Music Man HD130 Reverb head + 2 X 12 cab, Ampeg B100R combo, and a Hartke HA2500 with a 410XL cab.

Whew. Too heavy.
