Re: Common Features of Your Guitar Collection?
I have 8 guitars right now:
A (heavily modified) MiM Strat, HSS
A (heavily modified) Swing EZ-10 (Floyded HH Jackson Soloist clone)
A Washburn MG-122 (HH Wilki-ed superatrat)
A Washburn MG-100 (HSS Wilki-ed superstrat)
A Washburn MG-104 (HSH Floyded superstrat)
A Stinnett SS6 (HH Floyded set-neck superstrat)
A Parker Fly Single Cut (HH TOM-bridge 25.5" scale)
A Michael Kelly Patriot Limited (HH TonePros string-through LP-styled Single Cut, 24.75" scale)
Things that stand out:
Humbucker at the bridge (8/8)
Fulcrum tremolo (6/8), 3 being with a Floyd.
Superstrat-style (6/8)
25.5" scale (7/8)
6-inline headstock (7/8) (I do consider this to lend to both the sound and feel of the guitar).
A (usually maple) top (6/8)
Wood-wise there's a mostly even split.
4 have a maple neck, 3 have mahogany and the 8th a Wenge one (which has a mix of attributes from both).
4 have a Mahogany body with a fifth having Black Limba (Korina), not sure if that counts, plus two Alder and one Swamp Ash.
4 have a Rosewood fretboard, 3 an Ebony one and the 8th Maple (the Strat).
6 have a top, one being an Ebony top, the rest figured maple (one has plain maple with a figured veneer).
Finally, construction-wise there's a mostly even split as well, 4 are bolt-on, 3 are set-neck and the 8th is neck-thru.

Re: Common Features of Your Guitar Collection?
They tend to be Strat-shaped with 25-1/2" fret scales, humbuckers, Floyd, either translucent or black finish. There are notable exceptions, but that's what I tend to buy.

Fender-style (2 Strats, 1 Tele Custom) ....
* All bodies over 20 years old (1 is 40 and one is 45).
* Strats have BKP pickups and Callaham bridges, rosewood boards and Raw Vintage vibrato springs (I have a 3rd Strat with the same appointments but it doesn't resonate as well as the older ones so it's being returned to stock and will be sold).
Gibson-style .....
* All are 1 piece, Honduran mahogany bodies with mahogany necks.
* Two are built from the same plank of timber.
* All have pairs of hybrids made from SD coils (all have 59/Jazz neck pickups, two have 59/Custom bridge, 1 has JB/Custom bridge).
The overarching thing is that they are all mine and at least 4 of them have strong historical/sentimental value to me. They are my friends.

BIGGEST common factor among them . . . Not one guitar has it's stock pick ups any more.

Re: Common Features of Your Guitar Collection?
I have 55 instruments, including a Fender Precision "Lyte" bass and an Ibanez 5-string banjo.
I have nine dreadnought acoustics. One Taylor, one budget Ibanez--the others all Martins. Hard to beat. My two 12-strings are also dreads, by Takamine.
I like 2HB guitars. I have 14 Gibsons (eleven Les Pauls and three ES-335s), three Ibanez (GR-520s and a AS-120), and a old Hondo 335 clone, all with similar characteristics. I like the neck pickup under the 24th fret harmonic, Gibson scale, and stop tails. No 24 fret necks. My G&L ASAT Deluxe 2HB is the exception, with a neck pickup in the wrong place and a DF Vibrato--no matter, it's still a killer guitar. LOL!
My main guitars are G&Ls, 19 of them; all but the ASAT are the Strat-bodied style. A Legacy is my Number One. I also have two other guitars off Leo Fender's drafting board--two Music Man Sabre IIs, one is modified with a third pickup. It's really the only guitar that I have ever significantly modified.
I'm at the age where I've figured out what I like, and I have bought what I like. I'd rather have guitars I love than a more versatile collection of off-beat, junk, or problematic vintage guitars that I wouldn't play.
Everything gets gigged.

Re: Common Features of Your Guitar Collection?
All of my guitars are solid bodies.
All have a HB in the bridge position but I'm putting the strat back to sss some day.
4/5 have a (super)strat shape.
All go around in hard cases.
All of them get played badly.

Re: Common Features of Your Guitar Collection?
When I build a guitar, one feature I spend more time on than some guys is the neck plate. I get that nobody can see it on the back of the guitar, and even somebody playing it could probably care less. But for some reason I give this detail way too much thought. On my Clapton Blackie clone I bought a Fender Custom Shop Designed plate, because it just seemed right. My road worn Strat I bought an F style neck plate, but I aged it with etching fluid so it's a little pitted, and my SRV has one with the same serial number that Stevie Ray's had. I can honestly say, nobody but me gives a crap.
