Personally, I favour the differences, and find use for most styles of instrument. For sentimental reasons, I have several arch-top and semi-hollow guitars and basses, but solid-bodies figure too in the 'stable'. I'm really not fussy about what are, to me, minor details such as scale length, type or number of pick-ups, nut width etc; I adapt what I play to the instrument, or select the instrument depending on what I feel like playing. I have a 'go to' Xavière guitar on hand (it's rather like a Thinline Tele Deluxe...), but my Hofner Verithins, and Comittee get regular outings, as does my Samick 335-style guitar and Daisy Rock 12-string (and the acoustics, of course...). I could get by with only one, but why be restricted when there's so much variety out there..?

Fender really did well with developing guitars with definite personalities, different from their siblings, which doesn’t stop with the Tele (my preferred weapon of choice) and the Strat (of which I’ve had quite a few too). The Jazzmaster is different to the Jaguar and the Mustang was very different originally, with its short scale length. Gibson solid bodies, on the other hand, don’t seem so very different in tone IMO. The Les Paul, SG and Flying V (to name just 3) all cover very similar sonic ground; YMMV.
