The Surfliner HH seems to be right around 7 lbs., per Sweetwater's site, while Epiphone Les Pauls tend to be 8-9 lbs.
The other big differences are the longer scale (25.5" for the Guild, 24.75" for the Epiphone) which means the frets will be slightly further apart. Also, a 25.5" scale guitar can use thinner strings to achieve the same tension as thicker strings on a 24" or 24.75" scale guitar.
The Guild has a maple fingerboard/fretboard which may feel different under your fingers than the open-pore dark wood (probably pao ferro) on the Epiphone. That's totally up to personal preference.
The pickups in the Guild might sound different than on the Epiphone but I don't know what either of them are like. They both have humbucking pickups which tend to be on the 'warm' side. Using EQ settings on an amp or EQ pedal will probably have a greater impact than any pickup differences.
In general, I'd recommend going to a guitar store and trying a bunch of guitars: seeing what neck shapes and finishes, and body styles feel comfortable and fun to you. Very hard to predict over the internet what a guitar will be like in your hands.
And if you like the feel, sound, and look of your current guitar, there's no need to get anything different.
And Mr. Ronquillo could play a stick and sound good:
