i cant speak for LP's, but my SG is cool as ****. its as light or lighter than my strats but its all mahogany so it has mad sustain still. and i think you could get a good crunch out of anything as long as you have a tube amp.

I have a Peavey Valve King 112. It's a great little tube amp for 400 bucks. I'm thinking of this
Buy a used Squier pos - <$100 Buy a new nice maple neck - $230 ? New Fender P-Ups - <$200
I like customizing things out. Maybe I'll just get a Squier body, strip the paint, and what I want is this - A 3 tone sunburst but with a stripe in one area (like 45 degree across the bridge around the whole guitar) that is not really a stripe. So it would be like, yellow, orange, then stripe over and go with the black. So it's just like an invisible stripe I guess. That's my idea of a cool guitar!
I'm not really a fan of how gibsons look. For me, how the guitar looks is as important / if not more important than how it sounds. You can switch out pickups easily and for little money, but it's hard to change the look of the guitar without a lotta cash.
My Jackson-Charvel Kelly is crunchy as fck. I replaced the pickups with EMG 91/90 active pickups... saweeet. I just play random powerchords in drop C and sounds like dethmetal.

your choice for guitar should be based on what's comfortable to you and what type of music you are playing. I used to have a strat and it was ok but its nothing on my Ibanez RG170 with maple neck and dual hums.
Don''''t be too proud of this technological terror you''''ve constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of Big Oil.
although when i played in hs for marching band, i only had a cheap guitar, i cant remember the brand, but a few times one of the trumpet players let me play his fender strat and it played better, was lighter, and i just loved it
A strat is one of those guitars that you can pick up and play and have it feel good just about every single time. With the wide range of different pickups you can put in one, you can pretty much get it to sound the way you like (of course depending on the amp or effects used).
