I love SGs, but they're a bit more raw sounding & lack that "thick" tone that's synonymous with a LP.

I have an old Les Paul, sounds absolutely amazing, switched to a nearly as old SG - very similar and I doubt the audience would notice but not the same.
As other have said the Les Paul is thicker whereas the SG has more snarl.
But they are in the same sonic ballpark so worth a look.
The guitar I have which is closest to my Les Paul is my D.C. les Paul junior. Thick as you like and wonderful neck access and weight
I've played and owned a whole range of PRS guitars, both new and old, and none of the sound like an LP. Something in the formula is fundamentally different between the companies approach to guitar building and one cannot substitute the other.
The thing is although I'm seriously interested in the SG in the classifieds, I've just looked at GAK and I'm even more confused now.
There's a few new ones on there for £549.
I can't figure out if the
Gibson USA 2013 SG Future Tribute Min-ETune, Vintage Sunburst is any good or should I buy second-hand

I’d get a good used standard
if I had to choose between them, though, I think I’d keep the lp..
but that’s just me.. ymmv
