What PRS w/ tremolo sounds more like Les Paul?

[Samba Loco]

Hi, what PRS guitar with tremolo bar would sound more like Gibson Les Paul Standard?

I love the sound and everything from my LP std, but sometimes I miss the tremolo for a little effect (not dive bombs).

SC245, some come stop and some with tremolo.

PRS McCarty Trem. The McCarty was designed to sound similar to a Les Paul from what I understand.

+1...the double cuts are not LP like at all, IMHO.

It doesn't. At least the McCarty's I played. A nice LP sounds huge and fat. Mine didn't have a trem but I'd imagine that'd be even less like an LP's tone.

That'd be awesome if they could make a McCarty trem sound close to an LP.

get one with a hardtail.

Truthfully none of them sound quite like a Les Paul (nothing else dose.)

I didn't think that the SC 245s were available with a trem? I knew that there was a SC Trem with the 25" scale and thinner body.

Why not get a Les Paul with a trem?

I noticed that. But it´s a typical Floyd Rose with micro tunes. Not my cup of tea at all. I really prefer Wilkinson or PRS tremolo styles. In my opinion, Gibson should use something similar to the Floyd Rose installed on Fender Strat Ultra.

Closer would be fine. You know, fat & warm. I already have tha LP and I will not replace it. It´s my favorite guitar by far. Just want to add another fat guitar to be used on songs that demands a tremolo bar (light use, down only). Don´t need to sound identical, but in the same category.

I would have to say the SC245. Guitar Player magazine recently compared it with a historic Les Paul and the SC245 held up pretty well.

I own a PRS Custom 22 and it sounds nothing like my Les Paul.
