Pardon my lackadaisical attitude.  I'd be happier to start taking offers around twice that.

So is this a Traditional with swapped out truss rod cover and volume/tone knobs, so as to pass for a Standard?

Because there is a major difference between the two guitars: Traditional while slightly cheaper than Standard, offers a denser body mass (see old school weight relief vs. new chamber method).

IMHO, a much better quality guitar which should never be dressed down as a Standard. The only thing to hate on is the pickguard or the screw hole left behind after its removal.

Correct. This is a traditional les paul with some aesthetic changes to make it pass as a standard. Not sure if I mentioned it in the original post, but I have all of the original parts, and would have no problem reverting the guitar if the buyer prefers it. The reason I changed it is I disagree with Gibson's choice to gut the wood..it just isn't a les Paul (IMO) if it doesn't give you back pain after a couple hours of standing with it lol. When I set out to buy a Paul I was surprised to see the weight had dropped from 10-12+ lbs down to ~7lbs! I wasn't going to drop $2000 to feel like I was playing a toy version of the guitar. So I bought what for decades was a standard LP. They changed the guitar, not me! Lol. I just changed it back.   Plus it's worth noting the tuners were swapped with grover chrome tulips, which is much more than an aesthetic improvement. I'm not a fan of Gibson deluxe tuners. These are more smooth, and stay in tune better.

I have no problem with escrow, and shipping is available anywhere; but shipping will be charged to the buyer if out of the continental US.
