A little help with a mode number?

[Karldoog]

Hi guys,
On my new (used) 2016, I got the model number from Gibson Customer Service, and it is [FONT=&quot]LPNSTDPHSCH1[/FONT]
I seem to be able to "decode" this as follow:
LP = Les PaulN = ???
STD = Standard
P = ???
HSCH = Heritage Sunburst Cherry
1 = standard Gibson 1st run/acceptable standard?

I know "N" can be "nickel hardware" possibly, but it seems to be in the wrong place for that. And what would the "P" be after the "Standard"?

I know there's a bunch of experienced guys here who'll have no problem decoding this...thank you for your help!!

Standard Plus (top)
CH = Chrome Hardware?

You da man! That's what it is then. That sure does describe the top!
I didn't know there was a "New" Standard.
You guys here rock. Thank you so much!

And yup, I misread the "Chrome hardware" too. Thanks!
