Should I trade my guitar for...

I have an Ibanez RG350M (valued around $300 used) that is in near great condition-one paint chip and another small blemish near the headstock but no scratches or scuffs, dents, etc. I don't play it because of the floating tremolo which I am not a fan of.
Should I trade it for a Squier 'Vintage Modified' Jazzmaster in Olympic white with p90's (valued at $300 new) that is in excellent condition OR an Epiphone Les Paul 1956 gold top (valued at $300-400 used) that is in fair condition-it's a factor second. It has a few paint chips going down to the wood, blemish under one of the tone knobs, some dings, and the tuners for the high e and low e string are slightly misaligned.
I'm kind of leaning towards the Squier Vintage Modified Jazzmaster. Anyone ever have one of these?

The Epiphone Les Paul literally has a "2ND" stamped on the headstock.

Don't you dare get that gold top!! 
Go for the Jazzmaster, they are awesome guitars.
~Never played that one, but I have a (mexi) fender Strat that has never let me down, and I am sure the story would be the same with the jazzmaster you are looking at; I'd just get it in a different colour, but that's me.

What's up Sheekle? What's your main axe that you're playing on now? Right now my main go to guitar is a Mexican Fender Strat. Not the greatest but not the worst. I've actually has a couple really good Squiers in the past before. Contrary to the popular belief that they're cheap guitars. One was a Squier 'E series' Contemporary strat from the 80's. It played so nice... I regret selling it now. Sold for $400. The other was a Squier 'Classic Vibe' telecaster with double humbuckers. Wound up selling it for $225.

Another vote for the epiphone. I started out on a decent Squier and while I enjoyed it, Ill take an epiphone over it any day.

Squiers have imrproved massively 
Seeing we both play the same guitar, what colours yours, I have sunburst 
Some people insist they are crap guitars, but they are very good, not far off the americains at all.

You can buy a Tremelo Stopper for $9.99 off amazon. That would likely fix most, if not all, of the things you don't like about your floating tremelo.

Hey Pinkish, thanks a lot for the tip man. I truly appreciate it. Besides the floating tremolos on most Ibanez's, I'm just not really a fan of them. I've owned a couple others-one with a fixed bridge. I bought this Ibanez guitar for cheap in hopes that I could either sell it or trade it for something I liked better.

No problem. I buy all of my guitars floating trem but after buying rocksmith for PC I decided I really needed one of these stoppers on one of my guitars due to the constant tuning changes I needed to make.
