2013 standard , top not looking like a standard, has speed knobs…

[Rusty Mcdangles]

Thoughts? I believe it’s a desert burst but the top cap doesn’t have that shine, look to it… Any chance it’s something else

No. Is the back black? If it is, definitely DB.

It could be a traditional with a standard truss rod cover… Does it have a really fat neck?

What kind of pickups, 57 classics?

Year and neck shape could be tell tale signs.. they did make a desert burst Traditional in 2018.. rounded 50s neck. Noticeably smaller than the 2013 traditional neck.. year, color, and neck shape could narrow it down quite a bit since color options change yearly and specific to model

If it's a 2013 Traditional, and it's anything like mine, it should be pretty easy and immediate to spot.
My '13 has the fattest neck I've ever seen on a Les Paul, and the lack of weight relief makes it noticeably heftier than my weight relieved LPs.

Didn't the Standards have some toggle switches in the cavity in 2013?
Also a PCB, and maybe push pull pots?
If you can get shots of the control cavity, you may be able to narrow it down a bit.

The 2013 Standard has a slim taper asymmetrical neck, locking bridge, locking tail piece,.. and Kidney button locking Grover tuners....push pull pots on all four amber top hats. PCB electronics. Modern weight relief with a long neck tenon.

A Traditional will have none of these features.

Here’s my 2013 Standard

the pictures he had posted were not great, I’ve inspected it all, it’s an amazing guitar! Looks very nice indeed like yours!

Traditional would have come with Klusons, which have two screws each holding them in. Those Grovers on it would only have one, so if it’s a Trad you should see the extra holes in the back of the headstock.
