All PRS singlecuts have wide-fat and not wide-thin necks unless they are one-offs.
The price of a bare bones Singlecut (no birds, no gold h/w, no 10 tops) is $3.5k -$3.8k (I can't remember which one it is since I asked a couple of years ago)
That whopping $6k Singlecut at Davis is the 20th Anniversary package series which has an artist top (better than 10 tops), gold hardware, 20th Anniversary birds and a brazilian rosewood fretboard. A tricked out Singlecut.
You will be paying in excess of $6k in US dollars for a Gibson Custom Shop Historic R9 Series with a brazilian rosewood fretboard. And QC would still not be up to par as compared to PRS, yes even for the custom shop models.
Tonewise, the singlecut sacrifices that low-end thump of a les paul (or muddiness otherwise 8) ) for brightness, clarity and definition. The mahogany-maple ratio of a singlecut (less mahogany, more maple) is different from that of a les paul.
Basically the Singlecut will sound more aggressive and more balanced than the les paul. That said, nothing beats a les paul for its characteristic low-end thickness in tone and warmth.

Yeah, but most people will think about the workmanship will be more or less the same as the price is in that range.
I've owned a Les Paul Custom at one point, but sold it as I found out it just isn't for me, it's still one heck of an instrument though, but I still try to keep at least one high-end guitar in my collection though. Although they still can't really match PRSs, workmanship-wise, the customs are much better than the standards, as you really gotta look at quite a few standards just to get a good one. But I still have an Epi Les Paul though lol... Keeping it for sentimental reasons.
I've gone down the Gibson road before, this road just isn't for me.
