2021 Les Paul Custom Koa 👀"FLAMED TOP"👀 Unboxing

Unboxing and admiring of the Les Paul Custom Koa by Epiphone

[@williamsporing1500]

I just picked up a 2016 custom pro in koa for $300 with hard case. I don’t think it was hardly ever played. Only issue was 6th fret was high. Filed it down, truss rod adjustment, action and intonation, maybe 4 hours work. Action is maybe 1/8” at the 12th fret, maybe. I keep 8’s with low action on my electrics because it’s easier on the tendinitis from 50 years of playing. It’s well made, beautiful, and flexible. There are some little tiny imperfections on the binding around the head stock, nothing major, just the lines aren’t perfect. For saving 3 grand, I can live with that lol If you’re looking for a good guitar without having to mortgage your house, this is a good one folks. And by the way, I had two LPs that ‘smell like cake’ and sold them because my epis play better. Yea, sweet water is excellent! (Edit) the action is .105 at the 12th….pretty good for a $300 axe!

2021 Epiphone Les Paul Custom Koa is a true Master piece

[@mhdz10]

Thank youuuu! Been waiting for a demo of this 2021 model.

A lot of guitarists including some Gibson boys are saying the 2021 Epiphone Custom Koa Les Paul was the best Les Paul of 2021

[@ianlewis5474]

Beautiful figure!! I just put in an order for one with Sweetwater. At this price point, you really hit the figured top lotto on that one.

[@carolinehaf21]

I hope I can get one just as nice... she's freaking gorgeous! I got an amazing koa Taylor mini a few years ago now and you really have to see them in person honestly to describe the flame. 😍😍

These Epiphone les Paul's are high end guitars just look at the Specs

[@GeneA.69]

Damn pretty guitar. I have the 2020 pro top blue quilt and love it to pieces

[@petedetraglia4776]

About a week ago I bought the Epiphone Les Paul Custom Pro in Koa. Its absolutely stunning looking in person. Split pick up on pots and phase change on the 3 pot. Probucker 2 and 3 sound great, fast neck D slim line, and the gold hardware just sets it all off amazing. Binding and frets were perfect...Great guitar, great sound, and great price as I bought it for 589.99 from guitar center in Upstate New York... Great video...

[@Colinshreds69]

is the neck super skinny? like more for fast playing or?

[@Baci302]

I saw these guitars advertised. They are beautiful. I particularly love the ebony fingerboard on it, which I generally prefer, to go along with the gold hardware. Congratulations. I'm weighing an Epiphone LP or going up a notch for the Eastman.

[@killerdude35]

GORGEOUS looking guitar! I'm actually thinking of buying this one myself! One thing that absolutely bugs me about this model though is the "kidney" style Grover tuners! A custom should have keystone gold tuners! Oh well that's a simple fix.

[@voyager7]

Beautiful guitar and I agree with your words on Sweetwater; they do go the extra mile!

[@creamysoundcoustic]

one of the best and limit version on les paul epiphone ..

[@jaymarkmanalo8096]

Gonna buy my 1st soon but i wanna ask if why in some videos, reviews. It appears that this specific guitar is darker than the other videos. Is there any other color variation on this custom koa?

[@guitarswithdavid4422]

No they are all the same woods and finishes. Some wood selections may be a shade darker than others.

[@jaymarkmanalo8096]

@@guitarswithdavid4422 thanks its hard for me to buy it since im buying it online. Every store here doesnt have any les paul koa

[@guitarswithdavid4422]

@@jaymarkmanalo8096 check out Sweetwater.com. They have pictures of each guitar so you can choose which top you like the best

[@Zoso981]

Those look pretty good, but the new Epiphone Les Paul Custom Blackback (antique ivory, only at Guitar Center) is WAAAAY better looking. Just my opinion.

[@jbubal]

Hi! I recently got one, but there were no accessories. What are the accessories that come with it?

[@guitarswithdavid4422]

Usually just an Epiphone sticker, maybe an Epiphone poster and a truss rod adjuster wrench

[@jbubal]

@@guitarswithdavid4422 great, thanks for the reply! Thought it would come with some other goodies and tools for adjusting, but I guess a wrench for the truss rod is really all an LP needs!

[@guitarswithdavid4422]

Sometimes the adjuster wrench is missing. Sometimes I get a poster and other time I don’t. Someone at Epiphone is asleep on the job. Lol.

[@ThrillingTwo]

Beautiful!

[@dimetime333]

Beautiful

[@sotacal]

In looking for one of these, what was the price tag a year ago?

[@guitarswithdavid4422]

$649 at time of this video

[@Apo458]

Could you review the SG Custom?

[@guitarswithdavid4422]

Absolutely! It’s on my list. I have about 5 or 6 videos before I get to the SG custom. Stay tuned!

[@Apo458]

@@guitarswithdavid4422 Nice! By the way, the quality from your videos is so good for a relatively small channel.

[@lespaulranger]

is this a veneer or full koa cap?

[@guitarswithdavid4422]

Veneer

[@lespaulranger]

@@guitarswithdavid4422 I've heard so many conflicting things on this, koa is expensive, almost as much as half the price of the guitar with that much figuring so I'd imagine they're using a veneer

[@Bulletman426]

Beautiful guitar, but again Epiphone needs to make the headstock a bit smaller. To me it looks like a paddle ☹️

[@sonofromel]

Goddamn. I want one

Gets it out of box at 2:49 , you’re welcome.
