Will I regret selling my first “Good” guitar?

Id like to hear your perspective on this:

Over the last year I’ve been getting back into playing guitar after a break of almost 10 years.

This got started with a Epiphone SG that is on indefinite loan from a friend, and I’ve really been having fun again. I’ve put together a pedalboard and have really gotten “into it”again. The SG sound really fits my playing now, and I have been returning to a Gibson Sg 61 Translucent Teal in a local music shop over and over.

Meanwhile I had my old trusty Classic Player Jazzmaster in storage waiting for me to get around to servicing it (neck was nackered and it somehow ended up with somebody stealing the bridge while I had it at a local venue).

I just got it back from service, set up with .52-.10 strings and adjusted to play in drop C which I mainly do now. ….. and it just doesn’t feel as I remember it. It’s more noisy than the SG, and it doesn’t “Feel at home” as it used to.
Sure the sound is great and big, and I’ve sooo missed the trem, but i *keep* noticing little things that annoys me.

I am REALLY considering selling it, so I can get that sweeet sweeet Teal SG, but will I regret it?
It has been with me since 2009, and was always the center of my sound, but it just doesn’t really feel that way anymore. Should I give it some time?

If it were something a little more unique and harder to come by, I’d say hold on to it, but since it’s one of the more common Jazzmaster’s out there, sell it and get the SG. I don’t think you’re gonna miss it but if you do, it’s pretty easily replaceable.
