JS series guitars are very playable and very pretty as well but imo worth much less than a JEM77FP. FP 2nd hand can fetch up to high $2k -$3k but a new JS is low $2k first hand (I have one). and I don't think you should trade it for the JEM7vwh. Somehow it doesn't make sense to do that, haha. So don't get lowballed! get the cash and buy a new guitar that you really like if you don't really know what guitar you want yet. but I'd keep the JEM77FP though, as in seriously. haha.
