That's slightly lighter, isn't it?The finish on my LP Standard Plus was call Honeyburst
It was a 2001 or 2002 LP Standard Plus - Nicer top, Grover Tuners, inlaid "Gibson" headstock logo, fat neck, and either Burstbucker or Classic '59 pickups - I can't recall. Can't find the specs. Got it new at then dealer-cost of @ $1,700, as the shop had had it in stock for about 18 mo. Wonderful instrument. Had my best playing moments with it. I mainly used a Laney VC-30, 2x12 with it, or a Fender Reissue Deluxe Reverb.That's slightly lighter, isn't it?
Top was described as "AA" And the pickups may have been 498T/R humbuckers. Found a location of older Gibson catalogs here:It was a 2001 or 2002 LP Standard Plus - Nicer top, Grover Tuners, inlaid "Gibson" headstock logo, fat neck, and either Burstbucker or Classic '59 pickups - I can't recall.

The "Honeyburst" finish was described as having the appearance of a '59 LP Cherry Sunburst that had faded over the years.
And yes, it appears a bit lighter than the finishes you're considering.
Have fun!
The Standard had a slightly sweeter tone. The Custom pickups were more powerful and a bit more aggressive.They fit you well i think. Broad neck, more acoustic. Hows the sound like?
