Ive got 3. I mainly play my Schecter Damien 6 though through a Line 6 Spider II 112.
I mainly jam out to System of a Down or AC/DC. But I also play some Pantera, Nirvana, Muse, Trivium, etc.

I used to play a lot more than I do now.
Fender USA Strat
Gibson Les Paul Classic
Martin DM14?(forgot model)
Schecter Spitfire
Alternative and Classic Rock for fun..But blues when I feel like really playing something that makes me think.
Hows the amp playing Matt?

I play just for fun, and haven't been playing long. I'm into classic rock (Led Zeppelin, Cream and early Clapton, etc) My guitars include...
Gibson Les Paul 3-pup Custom (Black)
Gibson ES-335 (Block Inlay, Cherry)
Gibson EDS-1275 Doubleneck (Cherry)
Danelectro DC-59 (Black)
Martin HD-28
...and looking for the right Gibson Les Paul '60 Historic Reissue in Iced Tea or Faded Cherry
You can probably guess that my amp of choice is a Marshall 100W plexi...the Gibson/Marshall classic combo!

Ibanez RG120, $200 when I was 16 and it's great for heavy shit. Just dropped it to C tuning a couple of weeks ago. Also have an Ibanez acoustic/electric that I never play.
I can play some TOOL, some Rage, Incubus, Metallica, VERY little Pantera, and some other shit. Mostly like writing my own stuff.

Its great man. Not as loud as my old 212, but its perfect for my uses.
Gibson Les Paul Studio w/Seymour Duncan pickups
Takemine Acoustic/Electric Classical
My beater guitar - Squier Deluxe HH Floyd Rose. it currently has DiMarzio pickups and is setup for D tuning.
Mesa Boogie Mark 3 simul-class 1x12 combo that plays through a sealed-back mesa 2x12 cabinet.
Digitech effects processor and crybaby wah pedal.
I've been playing a healthy mix of stuff lately. When I am practicing, i'll work on Bach cello pieces or Carl Phillip Emanuel Bach's Solfeggetto. Either tranlate very well into cool electric guitar pieces. When I jam along to music (one of my favorite past times) i'll play along to everything from The Cure to Pantera. A few songs that I have been playing along with specifically are:
Rise Against: Paper Wings
Alter Bridge: Down to my last
311: Creatures
Toad the wet sprocket: Walk on the ocean
Pantera: Walk
Slayer: Seasons in the abyss
Nightwish: Wish I had an angel
Lost Prophets: Last Train

I play the Fiddle.
Geez...I'm not very familiar with all the newer songs.
With my electrics I've been into the bluesy stuff lately like Clapton's "Hideaway" on the Bluesbreakers album. This has been a fun song to play. Also, I've been attempting to nail down some more Zeppelin like bits and pieces of Jimmy's "Dazed and Confused" solo from "The Song Remains the Same" soundtrack. I bought software called Guitar-Pro that makes some of Page's faster solos much easier to break down.
And as for acoustic stuff, I've been learning "Here Comes the Sun" by George Harrison.

Ibanez Jem BSB
Gibson Explorer with some Duncans dropped in it

I play whatever I'm in the mood for, blues to metal. Bands I've been part of in the past were mostly metal, though.

Alvarez acoustic RD10
Alvarez Yairi acoustic
Epiphone Les Paul electric to toy around on.
I just tool around on them, write up my own little jams, and play whatever it is that I feel like trying. Its more like a small hobby to me, and I do it whenever I am chillin' out or stressed....

Down to 1
Ibanez RG770
Peavey Ultra 120 head with a 5150 cab.
Play mostly Journey, Rush and other classic rock and 80s rock.

I play a Spector NS6, tuned to C w/flatwounds. I sometimes dig up the old Gibson, but that happens so rarely that I couldn't even tell you what model it is. I play through a Line 6 AX212 w/floorboard, sometimes through a 1st gen Pod with a floor monitor, sometimes adding in some old Alesis quadraverbs. Some of my more complicated setups involved using MIDI CC messages to change settings in sync with sequencers.
I typically play only what I write - Industrial/Metal. Every now and then I screw around with different songs for sake of brushing up on ability. The last song I played along with was LaGrange (ZZ top). I've since then forgotten how to play most of it.
I usually get too wrapped up in the technology. Finding ways to sync up the electronics, changing effects settings quicker than possible with a pedal board, really just over complicating things. It's my attempt at hiding my lack of REAL guitar playing talent.
Did I mention I'm a programmer, not a guitarist?
