Sounds like me, too. I played electric guitar for years and finally acquired a Gibson Les Paul about 5 years ago before starting flamenco 2 1/2 years ago. I only pick up the electric about twice a year now since my cover band stopped playing 1.5 years ago. I haven't sold the Les Paul, and probably never will. I also have a Marshall half stack I like; but I can see parting with that before my Les Paul, to get a smaller amp or maybe trade for another head, but next time I'd probably try to go with a 2x12 cabinet rather than 4x12. I sold my Ibanez electric last year that I never played (even when I was playing electric every day). I also have a Epiphone Les Paul w/ Seymour Duncan pickups that's pretty decent as backup that I haven't sold, just incase I ever start playing w/ the cover band again. I have an old made in USA Peavey strat copy that I can't bring myself to sell because the sentimental value is worth more than what I could get. That brings me to where guitar began for me...on a 1973 Takemine steel string back in '92 as a young teenager. Decent guitar, needs some TLC, made in Japan, but only worth a few hundred USD last time I checked. It was my father's handed down to me so I won't sell that one either. My wife has come to grips with the fact that I'll probably always have several guitars in my music room closet, even if all I ever play is the Navarro Blanca!
