Personally I'd go for the Revalation. If I'm correct it has the extra tone/pickup ciruit/selector (remember what it's called). I like the trem on the Squier purely for looks. I've only seen videos of these guitars as a guide to tone/sound which can be a bit misleading. Are you planning to get as many Jazzmaster's as Strats that you have ttmax. 😜

Perhaps it is the most sensible choice already having a ja-60 hb with similar pickups. I too, at least the revolution, have only listened to it on the web and therefore it is absolutely not a factor of choice, but maybe it suits me as it was for the affinity it is necessary to take a small risk.
Not exactly, because otherwise my wife really throws me out of the house. But, I thought, now that he's on vacation, won't he remember that there were 2 empty seats on the stand? (1 now due to affinity) The circuit is atn-5 and I prefer it to the complicated one from Fender for me. Honestly, I like the Wilkinson tremolo more than the Fender one.
I would have liked to have it white / tortoise but you can't have everything especially in this sad period, hoping that it will pass quickly and for everyone.

Possibly the Wilkinson is in fact a better trem? I only like the vintage look of the squier/Fender trem, really it should be what works best. Which is probably the Wilkinson. 😁
The Revelation atn-5 thingy does look a very good option and very useable. 👍
It does seem you can never find the right guitar in the right colours. As you say in current times perhaps we should be grateful of the available options. Good luck with which one you decide on. I eagerly await you report/review of it. 😉

I am seriously considering turning in favor of a s.c.v. jaguar ! Looks a nice guitar, they have the lead and rhythm circuit I believe and a high pass filter switch. Are you going for the pink colour as it could be more wife friendly. 😜

No simply, because I saw a video on andertons, it is actually a l.e. in pink or blue while I could also consider the current green and discard the black I already have quite a lot of this color. but their use too effects Jazzmaster/jaguar Jaguar/stratocaster I believe you, I don't know how you manage to get so many guitars past your wife. 😉 I thought I was doing well with 9 guitars. My wife always asks how many guitars do you need? My response is usually something like how many pairs of shoes or how many clothes do you really need? Although after a few weeks she will say that's a pretty/nice one. 😁 I've seen a lot of the videos on the jaguars but don't know anyone who has one. They do look like a different option tonally. With so many option we will always need one more guitar. 😉

What do you think about this ? Very nice, most of the Vintage brand guitars I've seen have been good quality, a friend of mine has a Vintage SG model. I belive the hardware and pups are Wilkinson on most models. Your certainly looking at a fair range of offset guitars ttmax good luck deciding which one to get. 😁

What about after the unfortunate experience with revelation, not for the instrument, but for its availability and shipping cost, I focused on Squier Jaguar, now I have discovered this, which would have all the credentials, p90, wilkinson hardware (not I know if the bridge too), my favorite color and the right price, but even if I don't trust much of the YouTube videos (see Andertons too many effects), the ones I listened to for vintage did not impress me very much indeed a little disappointed by its sound a little too anonymous will it really be like this? But I could always change the p90s and maybe choose the revelation ones that cost nothing but I will find them no it will be an Odyssey as for the guitar, meanwhile not in a hurry.
