Description
The Gibson Mark Morton Les Paul Modern Quilt in Translucent Ebony Burst Satin is built to handle the kind of precision, aggression, and clarity that Morton himself brings to Lamb of God. It's a signature model that balances high-performance specs with a refined, stripped-back aesthetic. If you're after tight rhythm tones, modern comfort, and the unmistakable punch of a Les Paul, this one delivers without compromise.
The guitar features a mahogany body with Ultra-Modern weight relief, topped with an AAA quilted maple cap that pops under the satin nitro finish. The mahogany neck has a SlimTaper profile with a contoured heel, making upper fret access easy and smooth. The ebony fingerboard has a compound radius for playability across the neck, 22 medium jumbo frets, and classic mother-of-pearl trapezoid inlays. Under the hood, you've got a set of Mark Morton Signature humbuckers-ceramic magnet-based pickups designed for cutting rhythm tones and powerful leads. Each pickup has its own volume and tone control, hand-wired with Orange Drop capacitors for added response and clarity.
Hardware includes an aluminum Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece for lighter weight and great resonance. Grover Rotomatic locking tuners with keystone buttons keep tuning dialed in and string changes quick. Whether you're gigging hard or recording modern metal, this LP is spec'd for serious work. We've found it to be an incredibly responsive, pro-level Les Paul that still feels comfortable and familiar under your hands.
