If you don't "feel" the guitar, it might look good, but you won't pick it up
In my experience keeper is 10 years. So maybe buy a used Fender MIA so when you sell it in 10 years youll get your money back or a little more.

n + 1
Where n is the number you currently own.
Me neither!
However - I would say that putting a guitar together from quality bits+a nice paint job can work out expensive, and isn't as easy as it sounds, also if you don't like the end result you have something that won't sell as easily as a 'name' guitar. You can get a USA Strat for not much more than £400 used, or as @ Dan say's a baja tele or classic series strat will be a great guitar and easy to re-sell if you have a change of mind
I wouldn't want less than two.

No, not as much. It’s in the same ballpark, but the true ‘quack’ depends on the pickups being very closely matched, so neither position on a Nashville Tele is quite like a Strat - but I’m not a fan of the ‘quack’ anyway, so it doesn’t bother me. The odd thing is that the middle pickup alone doesn’t sound as good as it does on a Strat (where it’s normally my favourite sound) though... not sure why.

It's all you need, too many guitars dilute what you really need to think about.
So my one guitar is another Tele, a ten year old Baja. Really missing my other guitars but also loving the fact that I only have one to concentrate on and I am finding it much easier to focus on playing now.
When I pick it up I am no longer thinking ''does this sound like a ….'' and instead I am concentrating on practising and learning.
So , all in all a pretty good result and a happy bunny.
