Beautiful. Perfect burst shading, pretty top, and I definitely dig the dark fretboard. Looks as if the plastics may have been upgraded too.
Is that a Trad Plus? What year?
Stock pickups?

Get that guitar, wow.
To me, me only, great price, obviously looks good, if you have the funds jump on it.
As far as new Gibson's costs, that barely buys a studio.
How many miles on the odometer? jk, looks great bro.

I didn't realize it's a conversion. It's not mentioned in the add.

It's a great looking guitar but in all honesty I couldn't bring myself to go into someone's house or even a store to try a guitar right now. There are several great deals on the local Craig's List because of people being laid off but I’m passing on them all.

Somebody “59’d” that guitar. You can see the Nashville bushings in the pic so they obviously used conversion posts so you could switch back if you wanted but I can’t see a reason why you’d want to. If I was you I’d jump all over it at that price.

Couldn't agree more, a lot of, what I consider, to be cool upgrades. It would cost a dollar or two for those parts at Creamtone, I have the conversion bridge on my Classic, no problems there.
Plus, if he bought it and didn't like it, I'm sure it wouldn't be tough to flip.
Hell, if I see a few more pics of it I might buy it. JK

I'm working on closing the deal right now. As far as not going out to buy it...I go out to buy groceries and there are way more than one person in the store.
I don't plan to hang out and play it and the guy is giving me a 48 hours no questions asked return window. He is a very legit seller as well...

Sounds great, good plan.
If you don't like it, I'd like to be the first to make you an offer.
Right now, today, I'd be willing to do one stimulus check, eight rolls of store brand toilet paper, and I'll mow your lawn for a month.
Jus playin', personally, I would be interested in a guitar that looks like that with those specs, my Cherry Sunburst Classic is all I need, it's just that axe ticks every box I have for L.P.'s
Congrats on a NGD.

That second pic must be an original shot. Has the Nashville bridge and no top wrap. I used the studs from Philadelphia Luthiers to convert my V a few weeks ago. Really easy and slick way to get an ABR-1 on a Nashville bushed guitar. That guitar is gorgeous. Buy it.
