A 335 is not a Les Paul by most measures. 335's are semi hollow, LP's are solid. I've owned both.Strongly suspect the best Les Paul for me is a Tele Custom![:D]( "Very Happy")
Les Paul sound is good but the bodies feel weirdly small and heavy. And 335 feels weirdly big and light
Tele Custom has very similar features/layout; how do people rate the sound comparison?
The shallow semi hollow body and shallow hollow body field is just as wide as the les paul or strat field.
Tele Deluxe has "Wide Fidelity" and are characteristically Not humbuckers they are three poles per side which does work for noise canceling but also have a brighter thinner sound. There's a reason why no one is still playing them after 1979.
The "Tomcat" was released by Seymour Duncan back in the 60's when he launched his pickup company. A Tomcat uses real Humbuckers (JB SH-01) and a simple 3way selector one volume and one tone. Jeff Beck used his Tomcat on most of his post yardbird recordings and live appearances until adopting a Les Paul

Not that I have any problems with full humbuckers on Tele's my MIM Blacktop Telecaster has Alnico5 pups. I'm just saying it's not a Les Paul by any measure and shouldn't be thought of as a replacement for one.
Scale Length makes a difference in feel and tone. 24.7 will always feel easier to press down on than comparative 25.5
Every time you switch from guitar type to guitar type there will be and adjustment period. To a certain degree the more you experiment with more guitars the more flexible you become as a guitarist. Granted we all have our limits. I'll never be a Gretsch player
