Let's face it, you're becoming a guitar slut !! Don't get me wrong, there are lots of us around, so far be it for me to be judgmental.
What isn't clear in your question, is what sound you're after? Most GC's I've played were wearing light strings. The few GS's I toyed with were setup with mediums (and darn close to a dread in sound). Tonally very different animals. So, based on the rest of your criteria, I'm guessing the GC is more what you're after ......

Others are there just because of the sheer beauty of the wood and the craftsmanship.
When I look at my stable, the use cases of the guitars are:
1) Binh Spruce/Maple Dread: Irish Trad Session guitar. There to compete with noisy Irish traditonal instruments like fiddle, banjo, accordion ... but extremely hard to record
2) Binh OM35/45: Fingerpicking on the living room couch. Too fragile and delicate to take to a serious gig
3) Binh Koa Jumbo: allrounder, but hard to record
4) Binh GC/GPCA hybrid: Fingerpicking for recording
5) Binh GC/GPCA nylon hybrid: My Nylon-strung guitar
6) Tanglewood TW145/12 SC: One needs a 12-string
7) Sigma DRC28E: To take out when playing acoustic/electric
8) Ovation TX Baritone: For the low moments
9) Martin Backpacker: You won't lug a heavy case around alle the time, will you?
10) Martin D35: Recording. Possibly redundant, but I love it.
11) Martin D40: Surely redundant.
12) Washburn D46SP: redundant if it weren't for the looks.
13) Gretsch 3713: made redundant by the Binh Jumbo. Up for sale
14) Yamaha FG730S: redundant, up for sale
15) Fender CD140/12: redundant, up for sale
16) Rodriguez Caballero C10: made redundant by the Binh GC-Nylon. Up for sale
17) Ovation copy 12-string: sentimental reasons. Belongs to me for 20 years. Not for sale
18) HBJC503CEQ POS to hand out at drunk parties and throw around at holidays
19) Tenayo Silent Guitar: Bought not to annoy the Ex. Possibly for sale.
20) Guild GAD 25 Definitively a keeper. I love the warm hog sound.
Well, what really scares me, is that I look at your list and it makes perfect sense to me !!
Sorta makes me want to stand up in the middle of a group of guitar players and say, "Hello. My name is Paul, and I'm a guitaraholic. But, I'm feeling much better now !!"
Painfully aware that I could go "overboard" again without much prodding......

A Kinda like the sound of Opa Johns post which sounds more like myself
which is I think some of you guys are still trying to find a guitar you like - I've already found mine.
was just a little persplexed as to how someone needs approx 10 guitars lol
I mean what happens with the others when not in use
as theyre just laying there picking up dust surely
Anyhow all to their own i say

You kind of missed my tongue in cheek response. Each of my guitars is very different - has a different sound, is good for different kinds of playing or different music. Each is a tool with its own applications. I don't have ten of the same thing (however I can offer a justification for a couple of the same) - I have ten or eleven very different guitars.
I play several different styles of music and use lots of altered tunings. In some cases I have special string sets that favor a particular tuning - for example my resonators (yes I have three - open G, open D, and high bass G (lap style)). I have three twelve strings - tuned and played very differently. I have a small bodied six string which is favored for fingerstyle and a big old classic Martin dread which is a strummer/flat picker.
I have a slight advantage over most people in that I build guitars so most of these are my home made ones - and in many cases I build to try to achieve a particular playing style or sound (how about a 27" scale 12 string tuned to C#?).
I think it would be boring as hell to only own one guitar and only play one style. And no, they don't get dusty.
btw - look at OJ's sig - he's got eight harmonicas. EIGHT! I mean you can only blow one harp at a time, right? What happens the others - do they get rusty? Different keys? We don't need no stinkin' different keys - can't you just put a capo on it?
John, I also notice from your sig the wind up alarm clock. We also have a few clocks including the 1910 Seth Thomas on the left (which works) and the little one on the right that dates to the Civil War (that doesn't work, but has been in my family for generations). And to keep slightly on topic, my FK-5 mandolin
Freeman, trust me...I fully understand why you have so many git boxes. As for my harmonicas....actually I've got 9 of 'em, but 2 of 'em are in the key of "E", so I only counted the first one. So...8 of 'em in A, B, C, D, E, F, G and B flat. Now, all I need is C#, D#, F# and G# and I'll be set.
BTW, a guy I worked with on the Pershing Missle System in Germany back in the late '60s was another civilian who worked out of Huntsville, Alabama (Redstone Arsenal) for Martin Marietta Corp. His name was George Williams and George spent a lot of his off time finding and buying up antique German wall and mantel clocks from the local antique shops and sending them back to the states. He was getting these clocks for prices in the $40-$50 range at the time and figured a lot of them were worth anywhere from $200 to $400 apiece here in the states. The last time I talked with him (he'd been doing it for about three years at the time) he'd already sent home close to 150 clocks.........he said. Just a little "side line" operation he had going.
There were five of these Redstone guys over there where I worked and they were all GS-12s, so I know they had the extra geld to buy whatever they wanted. I was a "lowly" GS-10 with Northrop. There was seven of us on our contract, and I know our pay wasn't bad, so I can only imagine how much extra money old George had to throw around.
The only clocks I have that are worth anything is one big cuckoo clock, bought in the Black Forest, that's worth about $600 now and a Kundo wind-up anniversary clock that also came from Germany. The one with the big glass dome on it. Kinda gaudy looking thing, but some people like 'em, I guess.
I've never collected anything except for a few Chess sets and most of those aren't expensive ones. I DO, however, have one really nice set that I brought home from Germany with me in '72. We went back to Germany, Austria and Switzerland in '89 on vacation for a month and I brought back a really nice (and expensive) Chess set for a friend of mine. Bought it in the Bavarian Alps......Garmisch, Germany. My wife kept telling me to get two of them (one for me), but I didn't. Chess players don't usually play with expensive sets.......those are just for show and atmosphere in one's billiard room. I don't have a billiard room!
