jdgm 468 Report post Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) I don't think you've understood this. "Hand job", indeed. You keep linking to a Lee Malia RD Custom Artisan. It's NOT a LP Koa. Here - http://www.epiphone.com/Products/Les-Paul/Epiphone-Ltd-Ed-Les-Paul-Custom-PRO-KOA.aspx I just said it looks nice. Whatever material the fretboard is. And I ask you again, have you ever tried one? Edited June 13, 2018 by jdgm 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mihcmac 164 Report post Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) As promised: Just to reiterate this post was originally about comparing Megafrog's beautiful RD's. The Lee Malia RD sparked some interest in his other Signature models. Both of these guitars use something other than rosewood. As long as there is a difficulty getting rosewood the search for better fingerboard material will go on.. Edited June 13, 2018 by mihcmac Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

John1 0 Report post Posted June 23 I have the Epiphone lee malia rd artisan. Love the guitar hated the electronics. Installed the Emerson push pull set and now she is a keeper. What a difference. The tone push pull pots sit slightly higher than the volume pots because of the cavity but I can surely live with that trade off. I decided not to route the body cavity for such a small imperfection. Humbucker still spits and the p94 neck pickup is killed when pulled out. Guitar now sounds amazing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
