It's a Traditional Pro. The regular LP Traditional was what they came out with to appease fans of '80s/'90s LP Standards when they started doing all that body chambering/assymetrical Jimmy Page neck specs/Dunlop locks and locking output jacks on the Standards on '08. They had '57 Classics instead of hawt modern Burstbucker Vs, had the swiss cheese weight relief instead of chambering, classic fat 50s and slim 60s neck profiles, etc...
The "Pro" version uses one '57 Classic and one Burstbucker Alnico III (less mud in neck), and has coil splits and the new body chambering, but otherwise retains the more traditional neck/hardware specs.
Don't know what the silver colour is as the Trad Pro isn't offered in one... maybe a dealer exclusive? Board is rosewood, very few Les Pauls have actually gone baked maple.
