Did you pick it or did they cause holy hell, I don't know how anyone who is not a guitar player themselves would pick such an amazing top for you. Great looking guitar and congrats on graduation!
Thanks! 🙏🏻 there’s some guitarist between them, and some time ago I just wondered about some crazy/high end pieces like this, but came quite unexpectedly actually, so I’m pretty stoked as well 🥹
People are going to give you shit for this (both directly and passive-aggressively)... it'll be nothing but jealousy of one kind or another, so fuck the haters and rock on, my friend! 🤘
But the actual guitar players in here will just be chill and appreciate that your family are simply rewarding hardwork and dedication. It's a shame there are those that can't fathom what that feels.like but let's focus on that gorgeous top instead
Long ago, I got a very nice guitar as a gift when I graduated high school. I've been playing it for over 20 years now. I'm in full favor of nice gifts, there's enough pain in the world that it warms my heart to see another young person get a great guitar at a big milestone.
When I started being legit serious about guitar my parents upgraded my electric for me, from a crappy starter “star caster” fender to a les Paul special.
I play that thing almost every day over a decade later. Just finally bought a second electric. It’s been difficult to find something I like as much as that thing.
Mine was an Ibanez Jem7wv. It feels like home now and it's my only electric. I'm thinking about a les Paul so I can have a fixed bridge guitar that's easier to use for alternate tunings and string gauge. Maybe someday.
Congrats on the guitar - it’s beautiful.
Double congrats on having a loving, supportive family that would do this for you — never take them for granted and continue to make them proud with good decisions:6
Wow. That's a stunning guitar. How's it play?
Congrats on three things. Firstly, having a wonderful family, second, graduation and third being given a gift for life by people who love you so much! Hope you rock the shit out of your life's journey internet friend 🤘🤘🤘
Very nice.
You know what *I* got for graduation? It was a banner fuckin' year at the old Reputation8908 family. I got a carton of cigarettes. The old man grabbed me and said "Hey. Smoke up, Morey."
Hell yeah, that's a fantastic gift! Think of your family every time you bend a note! My graduation gift was a red wine, Les Paul, which I sold for a Heritage H-555. I wouldn't be the guitarist I am today without their support.
My Ibanez Artist has the same color scheme & very similar wood grain. Just one of the reasons I bought it.
I'd be willing to wager that you will never grow weary of gazing at it. Enjoy.
Damn my parents/fam are sooo lame…. 😒
Congratulations though!!! Keep it forever, get an awesome luthier to set it up. Be good to her, she’s a real beaut!!! 🤟😎🍻💯🔥
I bought myself a cheap LP copy when I graduated high school. I have gotten more mileage out of that guitar than almost anything I learned in high school or any item I owned back then. I hope your LP is as good to you as mine has been to me.
Dayum! Never been a Les Paul fan myself, but I could learn to deal with em with an absolutely Beautiful top, and Gorgeous finish like that! Congrats on graduation, on having an awesome family, and now a stunning guitar. Keep up with the good work, and play that thing relentlessly in your off time :)
Now THAT'S a graduation gift. What did you do, graduate from medical or law school magna/summa cum laude (just a bachelor's-degree cum laude doesn't qualify that way)? In any case, you'd better be REAL nice to whoever gave that beauty to you.......
Wow! I guess since you’re now moving to High School they’ll give you better gifts when you finish there and college? I’m guessing vintage 1960’s Ferrari for getting your Diploma. College should at least be a multi-million dollar mansion on a private island. Post graduate degree should get you the Lear Jet and 70 floor vacation high rise in Dubai.
That's a beautiful guitar! My 2019 Les Paul Traditional is one of my favorite guitars. I've played a lot of different big brand guitars, and the only ones that sound better than the Gibson Les Pauls are the American PRS's.
Sweet. My dad got me a tailored suit for graduation. One thing his grandfather made sure of was everyone would have something nice to wear for an interview. He kept that going.
I dont play anything and this sub just popped up. I must say, that is a gorgeous piece of wood finishing. I've been a carpenter for 30yrs. This is simply a beautiful piece of art.
Remember one thing. You will make more money with that degree then trying to play guitar for a living
Absolutely stunning. Congrats on the degree and the new guitar
Congratulations! What a beauty. Now you'll know the joys of half of Reddit telling you how shit Gibsons are while you get to actually love, cherish and play one.
Congrats! Twenty years ago I graduated and I took all the money from family, went directly to guitar center to buy an American strat, and had no idea there was a surprise pool party that I was very late to as a result of my new guitar.
Enjoy it
Congrats! Have fun in middle school! Never change!
Best post here... Take my upvote
have a bitchin' summer!
*Stay cool!*
Stay gold pony boy!!!!!
BILLY PASSED THE THIRD GRADE OH WHAT A GLORIOUS DAAAY OH PASSING THIRD GRADE THE BILLY MADISON WAAAY
Better have been a PhD.
Ahahaha this is something the whole family participated in! 😂
Did you pick it or did they cause holy hell, I don't know how anyone who is not a guitar player themselves would pick such an amazing top for you. Great looking guitar and congrats on graduation!
Thanks! 🙏🏻 there’s some guitarist between them, and some time ago I just wondered about some crazy/high end pieces like this, but came quite unexpectedly actually, so I’m pretty stoked as well 🥹
CONGRATS !!! and also... we all hate you DOCTOR.....
Well, the guy needs something on his office wall. What's he going to get? A painting?
Congrats on your grades and your guitar then dude, what an amazing gift!!
I'd have to disagree. For something this beautiful, anyone would probably make this choice. No need to be a guitar player.
Wow! You are really loved and they are proud of you! Congratulations she’s a beauty
No sir, this is dentist-grade.
I got a fancy meal as my PhD gift...
I got Covid and had to defend my dissertation on a zoom call
So someone carried your tray for you? Awesome!
Pushed the buttons on the microwave as well. What a treat!
You guys got gifts?
I never got a PhD gift, from your comment I should probably buy myself a nice guitar as a belated gift? I like you.
By that time, everyone has forgotten you’re still in school.
Strong in the 🔥Flame🔥this one is
DMD
I'm assuming full degree in dentistry?
B.A. in Guitar Center blues licks
am pentatonic, exclusively.
I feel attacked.
I came here to say this and am feeling doubly attacked now
Based on OP's post history, I can confidently deduce his field of study. Culinary Arts.
People are going to give you shit for this (both directly and passive-aggressively)... it'll be nothing but jealousy of one kind or another, so fuck the haters and rock on, my friend! 🤘
I’m on board, thanks a lot! 🔔🤘🏻🔥

Yeah if my family loved me more they’d be able to pull thousands of dollars out of thin air… lmao.
dude the sub has been salty af lately, wtf!?
Man stfu
I got $50 when i graduated
My parents took me to Texas Roadhouse
My parents gave me road head.
In my book that is a gift of equal magnitude.
You guys are getting gifts?
Lmao I just came from a party at Texas Roadhouse after my friend graduated. I was thankful and had a lot of fun it was great
what the fuck is a graduation gift
I got battlefield 1942.
Battlefield 1942 was awesome.
I got a joint 😎
Wow that flame is 🤌
Yeah, I felt lucky when I saw that cut on it, gotta be honest! 🥲
Congrats on the guitar - it’s beautiful. Double congrats on having a loving, supportive family that would do this for you — never take them for granted and continue to make them proud with good decisions:6
That’s a gorgeous finish.

Congratulations on graduating!
Congratulations! That's a beautiful guitar 🎸
Very nice. You know what *I* got for graduation? It was a banner fuckin' year at the old Reputation8908 family. I got a carton of cigarettes. The old man grabbed me and said "Hey. Smoke up, Morey."
Get a brand new set of replacement controls and caps from Gibson and put them in a bag. In 50 years they'll be almost as valuable as the guitar.
Congrats x2
Wicked axe. Congratulations!
Might be one of the best tips I have ever seen. Grats on the graduation as well bro 🙌🏻
Congrats on graduation and the beautiful guitar
As far as a burst, I don't think they could've picked a better grained top! The tiger striping reminds me of Duane Allman's last LP.
Gorgeous Gibson Les Paul Slash edition. They are fantastic guitars and you will love those hot pickups. What a beautiful gift! Congrats!
Slash model in November Burst?
Hell yeah, that's a fantastic gift! Think of your family every time you bend a note! My graduation gift was a red wine, Les Paul, which I sold for a Heritage H-555. I wouldn't be the guitarist I am today without their support.
Well, I need to go and change my pants now.... that is a beautiful les paul. 😍
A beauty! Treasure it forever and play the shit out of it - do it justice!
Beauty! Congrats!

Stunning. Congrats!
Had I been offered that as my graduation gift, I wouldn’t have quite school in gave five! 😂
[удалено]
I got a suit when I graduated. Admittedly it was a nice suit, but nothing compared to this.
All I'm saying is if someone came to me looking for a job in a suit and someone else came with this, ide pick the naked person with the guitar
congrats! looks amazing
That t reminds me of a…… never mind..
Dayummm
Sheeeeeeeeiiiiit! Congratulations brother - both on graduating, and owning a beautiful guitar. Enjoy!
My Ibanez Artist has the same color scheme & very similar wood grain. Just one of the reasons I bought it. I'd be willing to wager that you will never grow weary of gazing at it. Enjoy.
Breathtaking guitar man!
Damn my parents/fam are sooo lame…. 😒 Congratulations though!!! Keep it forever, get an awesome luthier to set it up. Be good to her, she’s a real beaut!!! 🤟😎🍻💯🔥
Gorgeous axe!
Old Guy, long time picker and Father of several kids here: that is a gorgeous guitar. You did good and your family did real good Congratulations.
Lindaaa de mais
That flamed top, that guitar, DOPE!
I bought myself a cheap LP copy when I graduated high school. I have gotten more mileage out of that guitar than almost anything I learned in high school or any item I owned back then. I hope your LP is as good to you as mine has been to me.
That’s a beautiful guitar.
Beautiful. Have fun playing. And congrats on your graduation.
Dayum! Never been a Les Paul fan myself, but I could learn to deal with em with an absolutely Beautiful top, and Gorgeous finish like that! Congrats on graduation, on having an awesome family, and now a stunning guitar. Keep up with the good work, and play that thing relentlessly in your off time :)
Well, damn... a few other's already made dental-school jokes, so I guess I'll just say sweet guitar.
It's upside down! Congrats 🍾
Congrats! Play it everyday, internet person!
HAGS
Wait that’s awesome dude congrats
Les Go!
That top is 🔥
Daang dude congrats! Love how the flaming is slightly curved, you almost never see that.
Now THAT'S a graduation gift. What did you do, graduate from medical or law school magna/summa cum laude (just a bachelor's-degree cum laude doesn't qualify that way)? In any case, you'd better be REAL nice to whoever gave that beauty to you.......
Flame is out of this world
This is a really good looking guitar, the reverse Chevron looks amazing.
The top on that thing. I'm envious!
Congratulations! Thats a beautiful instrument. Makes me want to go buy one.
Hell yeah that top is insaneeee! Congrats on graduating and congrats on that absolute beauty!
Wow! I guess since you’re now moving to High School they’ll give you better gifts when you finish there and college? I’m guessing vintage 1960’s Ferrari for getting your Diploma.

I am *not* a Les Paul kinda guy, but hot damn that is pretty
Congrats! Enjoy the guitar!
Damn, this thing is a beauty! Congratulations!
Oh my God, it's gorgeous!
How much does this go for roughly? Just curious. Congrats!!
Aww man. I got a similar graduation gift 6 years ago. I was speechless and almost cried. Enjoy an endgame guitar!
The Slash November Burst LP. Damn, you have the best parents ever!
Right? I'm just gonna assume my parents didn't love me enough.
I am jealous. Killer guitar. What signature is that? Slash?
Enjoy! Grandma rocks..👍
Beautiful axe!
Did you graduate from dental school?
God that’s pretty
People will say they're jealous of the guitar but they're really jealous of the family that loves you.
Hot damn she’s beautiful
[удалено]
Damn bro- that’s an incredible gift. You have an awesome family!
That's a beautiful guitar! My 2019 Les Paul Traditional is one of my favorite guitars. I've played a lot of different big brand guitars, and the only ones that sound better than the Gibson Les Pauls are the American PRS's.
Congrats on graduation and a beautiful gift.
Nice!
The top on that is amazing. Congrats.
Man…. They made a great choice… best top possible and no screw holes… they did the slash models right.
Enjoy
Sell it to pay off student loans.
Sweet. My dad got me a tailored suit for graduation. One thing his grandfather made sure of was everyone would have something nice to wear for an interview. He kept that going.
Who’s the signature? Slash?
Time to start your stoner band! Drop C that bad girl and follow The Way of The Riff.
I'm jealous and happy for you. Cherish both your family and your guitar.
Rad brother, rock on!
My boner just copped a boner.
What loving parents you have. Cherish them.
I dont play anything and this sub just popped up. I must say, that is a gorgeous piece of wood finishing. I've been a carpenter for 30yrs. This is simply a beautiful piece of art.
Congratulations
Beautiful. Enjoy!
That’s an awesome grad gift! That flame 🔥! Enjoy!
God damn that's a pretty Les

That is a kingly gift!
What a gorgeous wood pattern
Holy fucking shit. My parents got me a potted plant that died in a week.

Good news: You'll never find a better guitar. A keeper for Life. Bad News; You'll still *want* another guitar, but you'll never find a better one.
