I would really really enjoy having the SG but seeing as they are easy to come by I'm going to turn down the offer.

Sorry I'm into this thread a little late.
I agree with everyone who says keep the Jag. It's a unique guitar with a unique sound. Faded SGs are a dime a dozen...in availability, and tone. Believe me, I've been through this in a big way, you'll kick yourself for the rest of your life if you get rid of the Jag.Even if you are bored with it now and experimenting in different areas of tone, one day you'll wish you had your trusty old Jag back.
Now the Firebird...that's a different story. Very cool guitar.

A bit late here, but I'm with the 'keep the Jag' sentiments. I have a list of all the guitars i've owned across 45 years, and I wish i still had half of them. Plus i've lost count of how many times i've seen the same feelings expressed here by forum members.
Sometimes a guitar falls out of use for a while because it doesn't fit with what you might be doing at a particular point in time. But it's almost guaranteed that at some stage you will come back around to where a Jag would be ideal, and you end up kicking yourself because a) you have to buy another one, and b) you can't find one that speaks to you like the one you got rid of.
I know it's hard to finance new instruments without selling or trading ones you already have, but in the long term, most people often end up looking back and wishing they'd just retired the guitar and saved for the new instrument, with the original one stored away safely until such time as you want it again. Plus some instruments take on sentimental values, and that can have a lot of meaning as the years go by ... they become old friends. And most people don't trade old friends for new ones, do they ?
