How does the full Thickness LTD compares to the Gibson LP Custom in terms of ressonance and sustain ?
I play 90% metal

If you're looking for an alternative to an actual Gibson LPC, you're better off spending more on something like an E-II or even an ESP USA. Shit, you're even in ESP Original Series territory.
"I play 90% metal". Do yourself a favor and play some ESP/LTD's.
Every piece of wood is different. Every bridge is different. There are squiers that resonate and sustain better than Suhr's, you can't really do a blanket statement like that unfortunately. Pick one up, play it. If you like it, you like it.

But what @CanserDYI said is true. You can be lucky and get an extremely resonant EC-1000. Can be unlucky and get a dead LPC.
Depends on what you want from it. You're not going to get even close to the same feel out of an ESP, necks and frets are just so different.
Folks need to figure out if they want a Les Paul Custom or a guitar that vaguely looks like one.

People need to post their budgets in threads like this because you asked to compare two guitars that, aside from being completely different, are 4k apart in price.
If your thinly veiled question is: "Is an LTD as good as an LPC" then the short answer is probably and the long answer is not at all. Guitars in the LPC price range play a different ball game that has nothing to do with playability and everything to do with feel and craftsmanship. You pay for man-hours, pedigree and vibe. In the LTD range you'll get comparable if not better playability presuming you like modern-style guitars. If you don't fully understand why an E-II costs twice as much but isn't "twice as good" then you probably wouldn't like a Gibson LPC anyway so the question is moot.
tl;dr expensive guitars aren't made of fairy dust you'll be plenty happy with the LTD
I know these conversations leads us to another aspects of whats been asked, its normal.
I apreciate all the info you guys are sharing with, trully, however if you read interely my inicial post not just the title, I've asked you to compare the two regarding ressonance and sustain, if the lower budget one can compete with the LPC, not if one is better than the other or plays better than the other, cause some point are subjective and personal.
I apreciate all the info thought
