You need to compare like with like.
If you compare a handmade violin with a handmade acoustic or classical guitar, the tools used are the same.
Electric guitars are a little simpler because you donāt have to shape the body and bracing for the sound. You still need to carve the neck though, attach it to the body etc.
In either case, I donāt think the arguement for precision stands because, for instance, you wouldnāt want to have a guitar that the frets are in the wrong position for the scale length, that doesnāt intonate, that the action is all over the place, the frets are not seated well, that doesnāt project the sound (in the case of acoustics/classical) etc.
As for the original questionā¦ I donāt know if I need multiple guitars but Iād want some. I could do with multiple copies of the same guitar setup for different tunings 
@gnamsu i almost bought that same guitar. I love the blue color.
My next guitar will definitely be blue. But will have to wait awhile as I already got a guitar for this Xmas.

Me too, I wasnāt sure until I seen it in person but once I did it wasnāt a hard decision.
This is me at the moment.
I started with my first ever electric guitar - a blue Jackson Dinky JS20 with HSS pickups. I had to block the tremolo because it wouldnāt stay in tune and replace the original tuners after one of them broke but it was a good starter guitar. I still use it for drop tunings.
When I got serious about playing and practicing, I got my dream electric - a Schecter Hellraiser Extreme C-1 FR-M with 24 frets, neck-thru design, a Floyd Rose tremolo, EMG active humbucker pickups with separate volume controls for each so I could turn one pickup off and make stuttering, kill-switch-like effects like Tom Morello, and a beautiful flamed maple top with a dark-red burst satin finish. It had everything Iād ever wanted in a guitar.
But as I was shopping around, before I found the Schecter, I found an SVK locally with a beautiful orangeish-yellow flamed maple top. It had some dings and was in desperate need of a proper setup - the current owner didnāt seem to know how to setup a Floyd Rose, and it was sunken down rather than floating. I didnāt need it, particularly after I found the Schecter, but I wanted it because it was unique and I loved the way it looked. My wife convinced me to just get it because it was only $300, and since it also had humbucker pickups (passive) and a Floyd Rose tremolo (the cheaper Special) I figured I could use it as a backup for my Schecter.
So now I was up to 3 guitars.
Then I found a local band looking for a guitarist and set up an audition. The band used 7-string guitars for some of their songs, so I ordered a couple 7-string guitars to try out, a Schecter Jeff Loomis with a Floyd Rose (in a lovely dark red satin) and a Strandberg Boden headless (in a pretty dark red, satin, flamed maple). The audition fell through due to Covid, but I really liked both guitars so I kept them.
So now I had 5 guitars: my main (with a Floyd Rose), a backup, my first guitar (non-Floyd), a 7-string with a Floyd, and a 7-string headless without. I kinda want a 6-string headless with a trem too, but canāt really justify it.
And unfortunately I got busy with non-guitar stuff, playing fell away, and I find myself now with 5 guitars and barely playing any of them. Iām trying to correct that last part and make playing a regular part of my life again.
Why do you āneedā multiple guitars? For the same reason that you āneedā multiple pairs of shoes

I think thatās one term we use to name a violin maker/repairman.
Cool thread Alanā¦
I think after reading these responses above that many of us here acknowledge that aside from maybe āneedingā an acoustic AND an electric we donāt REALLY NEED a bunch of guitars but we do Like to have choices!
The flip side of this question:
My daughter & her fiancĆ© live in Phoenix AZ, USA. Itās really hot there most of the year & because of the heat, dress is normally pretty casual. The fiancĆ© rarely wears anything other than shorts. He only had one pair of blue jeans when they met so my daughter bought him a pair of black jeans as a birthday gift. A couple of weeks later, he shows up wearing the new jeans, but with a blue shirt - so my daughter asks why heās wearing the black ones when the blue ones would āgo togetherā so much better. He told her that as soon as he decided that he likes the fit of the Black jeans, he threw the blue jeans awayā¦ āI only NEED one pair, so why keep my old ones???ā

Because It Is GUITAR
