You're all wrong so far. You *actually* need:

1 really nice Lester 
1 junk Lester for gigging/ playing out
1 really nice Tele 
1 junk Tele for... you get the picture! 
An SG of some sort
Nice acoustic 
Cheap camping acoustic 
A shredder 
A couple of spares in case friends come around and want to jam
A bass or 2 just in case
Amps for at least 3 guitars

Nobody needs a strat or anything with a floyd or bigsby. We're not deviants.

Tune the Tele or Strat to Eb - to get an approximation of a Gibson 24.75" scale versus Fender's 25.5" - should then be easier to bend notes (as on a Gibbo)
