i love les pauls, personally they are my favorite shape. i have a prs "single cut" pr elaw suit that is awesome, i love it. its thinner than the usual les paul as it is a "single cut" so its lighter. i proper love it.

but i have a jackson and a pimped out pacifica, plus an acoustic, round back electro and spanish.

i would say go with how you feel. ive never bought a guitar i havn't played cus you never know if your gonna like it so go with your gut. maybe do a trade for a month or so and see how you get on.

both are iconic guitars.
