Most own quite a few. Not only for the difference in sound or playability, but they are considered "tools of the trade" by the IRS. Therefore if you make your living playing guitar, all guitars, strings, rep airs etc are tax write offs.

Unlike an answer above, most of the pros I sell to buy them for a special sound, not just as tax writeoffs.
Most of the pros I know own and regularly play in the neighborhood of 20 guitars.

as a professional vocalist of 42 years most guitarists when playing would take one or two guitars with them on a gig, playing one and having a spare readyon a stand on stage in case of breaking a string as for at home who knows it depends on how much money they have

im a drummer, but from my band members who are only semi-pro i would have to assume that the average pro has at least an acoustic guitar, an acoustic electric, 2 or 3 nice electric guitars to be used on stage, all somewhat similar, a cheap electric for backup, a seven string or bass for novelty, and at least 2 more guitars at random for fun. so id say no less than 8 for a successful tourng pro. anybody who has their own signature model guitar, you can bet they own at least 20 or 30 guitars.

bypass to your community music save and refer to the assistant. clarify the placement. See what's on your funds and what deals are obtainable..(gig bags etc) look into nylon strung and steel strung acoustic guitars. She's certainly tall adequate for an entire length. If achieveable take a knowledgeable buddy with tyou who can attempt some out. Now the complicated section. Take your sister to the music save and teach her what you have researched, and ask her to % one. i know it takes away the element of ask your self even with the undeniable fact that it ensures that she gets the single she needs .Take the guitar homestead and wrap it up for Christmas. desire this helps

I think it would depend on how much money said pro has actually made playing guitar!

Several!
But they all have their favorite...and their favorite is the one they play...just for themselves.
I have my favorite and hold it like a baby!
