yep, have three epiphones: Les Paul, Lucille and a 335. A fan of all three. The Lucille is my fav. Tone is amazing. That said, I play all three about the same. My advice?... go play them. Guitar shopping is so much fun!

I am kind of leaning towards the Les Paul ultra due to the contoured back and lighter body.

 

How does the weight of the Lucelle compare to the Ultra or 335?

She ain't light! Heavier than the other two.

The 339 body is just a bit larger than a LP.

Yup, Epi 339 is probably one of the best deals in Gibson's quiver at the moment

For me it would be Lucelle but since you are leaning toward the LP but also like semis the 339 is the one for you.

The 335 Pro is the one that catches my eye.
But the 339 is cool, too. I guess I like the bigger semis.
