My back disagrees with you, but otherwise I can see where you're coming from. The Les Paul is truly special.
A Fender Strat has its place in the tone world. And nothing else sounds like the bridge pickup.
SG's are... Well, I've never met one that stayed faithfully in tune for more than a very short interval. Someone can close the door in the next room and the breeze is enough to bend the neck. They do have their tone, the neck (and the look) and can be otherwise fun to play if you don't mind making what feels like continual adjustments.
Now, PRS's... I mean... I can't get into it. I can pick out a PRS from a mile away because they just sound so milquetoast. So vanilla. That's not to say they don't make a quality instrument, but more like a tonally bland high quality instrument.
I have a Les Paul that'll tune itself. Yeah... I'm not even kidding! It's awesome to watch - I never play it. I have played it but it's not something I'd take out to a show. I know how rough those are on guitars and I've got show gear.
I will seriously buy anyone's playable condition used Les Paul. If the price is right, I will buy it. I'd hate to see it go to a pawn shop. (Something that has haunted me, many times. I've not bought some nice guitars in pawn shops. I kick myself for it.)
I seldom got to have the luxury to have my own tone. So, I've played many, many models. It was my secondary job and, for a short while, my primary job back during university days. I get out a Les Paul every chance I get. I only have two guitars down right now - and one's a Les Paul. The other is actually a telecaster. I wanted to see what Zombies sounded like with a Telecaster. Meh... I don't even have an acoustic down right now - I try to limit myself to two down in the music room.
(I'm talkative 'cause I gotta stay awake and go plow in about an hour.)
The snow almost completely missed us. I was rather pleased about it coming, but all we ended up with was a bucket of (mainly) slush with a couple inches on top. It was amusing to see municipalities closed down and states declaring a snow emergency, but not nearly as good as a legit walloping.
