I'm piling on in favor of the reverend. I have a first year korean jetstream and it's been my go to guitar since I got it, despite getting into higher end stuff the past year or so. It plays great, sounds great, is unique yet classy, just an all-around great guitar. I'd love a US Reverend at some point. Hope the other dude doesn't get cold feet. That's the only thing I'd be worried about with this trade.
