Trouble With Guitars.

I'd get the SG. I have played guitar for about 3 years, I would choose it just because it looks cool, but I know that they are both very good guitars.
Go SG. They are usually very reliable. (Depending on how much you pay for it.), they are very light, and are good for hard rock, and look alright playing Jazz.
Go with a special edition custom telecaster. Great price for an awesome guitar. I own one in red with gun metal accents. The pictures do them no justice, go to a local fender dealer and pick one up and plug it in.
Whole lot of guitar for a very small price.

And FYI you can always change out pickups and have work done to your guitar to adjust the sound to your liking. If you are looking for blues/jazz sound you should probably look at a traditional Stratocaster over a Lespaul or SG.
SG's and Lespauls are both more of a rock guitar, heavy and otherwise. Though what you also have to realize is your Epiphone "Lespaul" and "SG" is going to be of a vastly different quality than a legitimate Gibson. For beginners I would suggest a good strat as they are more versatile and can be customized to a wider range of sounds via the swapping of pickups.
Pawn shops can be a great place to find good guitars for cheap if you know what you are looking for and can do some work to them yourself.

Feel vindicated in that I would strongly advise the Les Paul, and that is what most people have suggested. If nothing else, it looks so cool. Getting the other, you might eventually outgrow that look, but literally anybody could hold that beautiful thing and look awesome.
