The les paul, or the Sg, I am leaning toward the sg. What do you think?

Between SG's & LP's, Les Pauls are heavier. This both good and bad, because the heavier the guitar, the richer the tone, and the more sustain you get from each note, but they are harder on your shoulder over a long gig or rehearsal. SG's are usually about 2/3 the price of a comparable Les Paul. Both hold their value - get the best one you can afford.
For a rock comparison Angus Young uses SG's and Slash uses Les Paul's. Both get excellent tone through their Marshall amps. For Jazz tone, here's a clue... Mr. Les Paul himself wouldn't allow Gibson to put his name on the SG - he didn't like them too much.

Don't listen to anyone who tells you to get an epiphone, don't do it! Secondly, I have played guitar in many styles for 7 years, and I don't think it really matters where you start. I started on the acoustic, then played traditional classical, and then got my first electric. But that is the traditional way to do things. If I were you, I would go that path, because it is full proof, if you stick at it you will succeed. If you try to play on the lighter strings of the electric first and then move to the acoustic's strings, which are much thicker, you may have some problems. Acoustic guitar gives you a good base for the rest of the music world. But, I was you once, and desperately wanted an electric. You seem to have a handle on music in general. A good model to start with would be a schecter or an ibanez. If you are looking a little pricier, go Fender American Strat. Good luck!

I have both but I like my SG just a bit better for the tone!! Oh, I have a Marshall amp too.....the Les Paul has warmer tones but my SG has a more sharper tone to it!!

Gibson or Fender are classics, and probably of better quality than most. Usually very pricey though.
