So here is what I have:
-table saw and a jig saw for rough cuts
-nokogiri saw (japanese saw) or however it is called for more precise stuff (scarf join on neck, fret slots)
-router + various drill bits and homemade jigs/templates to get stuff done (truss rod channel, flattening surfaces for joining...)
-aku drill + various drill bits (don't have a drill press)
-various rasps for rough and fine contouring
-a chisel (there is some stuff, like squaring off the truss rod channel, that can be done with a chisel only pretty much)
-sheet sander and hand sander (would like to get random orbital sander, but I get it done this way as well)
-glue, clamps and a looong metal ruler
So yeah, seems like I get away without having some of the tools people listed in here, but I do tend to spend more time on certain tasks I guess (for example setting up the sled to flatten surfaces for joining can take time, and then sliding the router itself across the whole surface instead of having a plainer).
And for some, even this list would be too much, and they get away with even less tools/do much more by hand.
All in all, depends on your skill set, preferences etc. etc... some here basically have a CNC and not much else
