I'll get things started. Here's a pic of my armada:

Starting from the left, back row:
The Black & White was my father's 1st guitar. A Sear's Christmas Catalog Special my aunt bought for him in 1964. It became my first guitar in 1988.
1970 Epiphone ST. The first guitar my father ever bought. Served him well in many a bar gig. It was given to me in 1990 after my father bought his Tele.
1993 Epiphone Accu Bass. My folks bought it for me for Christmas 1993. I wanted to be a bass player at the time, but that passed 2 months after I got the bass. Still comes in handy for multitracking.
1987 Yamaha Nylon String. given to me by my father in 1994 after my mom and I bought him a Martin for Christmas.
1994 Squier Strat. The first guitar that I actually paid for (well, sort of). My folks agreed to let me get it if I would pay half. After we bought it my dad and I took off the cheap Korean tuning machines and put on Fender USA standard tuning machines and added on the Custom shop Pearl pick guard. Has a heavy case of belt buckle rash and assorted other scars, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
Bottom Row:
1999 De Armond MC65. The first guitar I bought on my own. The best $200 I ever spent. Nice warm sound and plays great. It's a shame more people didn't buy De Armonds, they were great guitars.
2001 Fender Double Fat Strat. College graduation gift from mom and dad. One sweet guitar. The 5 way selector splits the Humbuckers 5 diffrent ways for all kinds of tones. This one doesn't get played much.
2001 Epiphone Goth Flying V. Now that I have a well paying job I can go after all the stuff I couldn't before, the Goth Flying V being one of those things. This is one of my main guitars.
2002 Les Paul Studio LTD Finish. The newest addition to the family. This is the crown jewel of my collection. A gift from my wife.
On The Ground:
2003 Kramer Imperial Diamond Plate. Picked this one up in June. I'd been looking for an Explorer type guitar with a Diamond Plate pickguard for years and I finally managed to find one for a great price. Plays great and the quad rail humbuckers could punch holes through steel.
2001 Gibson Gothic Explorer. The first big ticket guitar I ever bought. Picked it up right after I started my new Job fresh out of College. It is teh bad ass!
