![]() I'd like to update that I received a Lee Malia RD that I'm happy with but the issue still stands it appears the dummy coil is non-functional. I still have it but just getting bummed out, really (was) looking forward to rocking with this one. I also want to say this is my first import guitar and I really came to the conclusion to purchase with an open mind. I'll be sending this one back in but now I'm nervous about receiving a 3rd and it's sort of killing the vibe and not sure I'm looking forward to the guitar anymore.Ĭan anyone chime in on the Artisan series and the dummy coil? I know the Les Paul is without but maybe other issues were experienced. I've referenced another post on the forum and some had advised it came with a functional hum killing dummy coil or of further repairs that made it work. The replacement guitar came with a tuner snapped in half (plastic shaft) and the same high hum situation. I don't feel I was too picky - I could of worked with the minor flaws but didn't want to attempt my own troubleshooting of the non-functional dummy coil and void the warranty. This guitar was returned and replacement sent. Other issues were very scratchy frets and a pretty bad route job of the pickguard under the neck pickup with jagged edges and shards remaining from the cut. Epiphone directed me for a warranty repair to a local respect luthier the luthier directed me to return the guitar in agreement the dummy coil was non-functional. The guitar is advertised as having a dummy coil so I felt sort of slighted when it was noisier than any of my other guitars when I A/B'd with the same amp settings. The first RD came with barely functional tuners but the primary concern was a very high hum neck p90. Has anyone had a positive experience or opinions they can share on the Les Paul, Explorer, or RD models? It's one I've come to regret somewhat I've had two returns of the guitar. ![]() I spent a few weeks deliberating a purchase of the Lee Malia RD Artisan and eventually made the purchase.
