I found my LP pretty comfortable after playing just a tele for nearly 20 years, but the neck profile on the LP is very similar to my tele, so that probably helped.
No real issues with the shorter scale, it's a slight trade off for me, for me the LP is more comfortable for chords & licks near the nut, while the tele has a bit more space for your fingers high up the neck.
Best you can do is try out lots of different models/neck profiles before buying.
Mine is slightly more sober
I recently acquired a PRS SE Soapbar, and I love it. Super light, very resonant. The neck is unbound, which I prefer, top fret access is excellent. Really doesn't feel like a big change from a Fender style guitar, in terms of playing feel/position.

I tried other name variations and quickly ruled out the Gender Lescaster!

24.75 scale twin humbucker telecaster (later with a P90 at the neck)
Can't find any photos at the mo though.

As to the feel: there's huge variance between individual Fenders, anyway - slim C to hard V?
Oh, a Gibson for a strat guy, not a straight guy...
It's not as much of an issue when standing up but sitting down the Les Paul doesn't sit very well, it's not balanced and the curve isn't in the right spot.
Like @KevS and @Jez6345789 said, I'm hoping a totally different guitar will inspire something different from my playing.
PRS is a good shout, and probably more to my taste aesthetically! I've played a custom 24 before and it was incredible, and also owned a mccarty for a while but ended up swapping it for something else.
I saw a band last year and the guitarist was playing some sort of Gibson hollowbody, however I'm sure it was smaller than a 335 or 339. It sounded absolutely incredible when the guy was soloing, especially clean solos that stood out over the rest of the band, but it could also get the Nile Rodgers strat tone for the rhythm stuff as well. I asked him what model it was but then I forgot what he said! Any ideas?
I don't get this bit.
For me the volume control on a Strat is perfectly positioned and I can't be doing with all the controls on a Gibson.

I played a strat exclusively initially and when o got a LP I couldn't adjust the the sound. Now I have had a strat, tele, lp and 345 for a while and rotate playing them, i have zero issue moving from one to the other.
Solution, get loads of guitars.
