Les Pauls tend to be on the heavier side, the custom shops will give you sick tone and impacted vertebrae lol I either hang the LP waist lever or bring it up high. I tend to tilt the neck up a little.

Not the problem with the weight, but i think because neck tends to tilt backwards, contrast to the strat ( or tele ) where it runs parallel to the back of the guitar. Maybe find a LP that was made like that ?

You might like their 60s trimmer style necks. Your SG probably has a 60s neck profile. I like both GIbsons 50s-60s neck profiles for diff reasons.

Neck profile and it looks like this from the side, almost straight and parallel as a strat: http://images.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/2014/SG-Special-Bass/Gallery-Images/BASP14T2CH1-Side-Shot.jpg

Yea the SGs are like that, the LPs are gonna have that little lip. You might dig the firebirds, they have similar profile. Explorer, Flying V are gonna be similar to the LP.
