Gibson Mark Morton Signature Les Paul Modern Quilt Electric Guitar in Translucent Ebony Burst Satin

Mark Morton’s monstrous riffs and razor‑sharp solos have been shaking venues to their core for decades as a driving force behind Lamb of God — one of the flagship bands of the New Wave of American Heavy Metal. Known for his rock‑solid rhythm work and technically precise lead playing, Mark blends metal, thrash and bluesy swagger into the kind of grooves that get even the most jaded metal crowds moving.

And now, that same fearless musical attitude lives inside the Gibson Mark Morton Les Paul Modern Quilt!

Premium woods, ultimate comfort

This stunning signature model features a glorious AAA Quilted Maple top paired with a Mahogany body that uses Ultra Modern weight relief, so you get that classic Les Paul punch without the shoulder‑ache on long gigs.

The Mahogany SlimTaper neck and Modern Contoured Heel make upper‑fret riffing and soloing feel completely effortless, while the Ebony fingerboard with a compound radius, 22 medium jumbo frets and mother‑of‑pearl trapezoid inlays brings a premium, fast and familiar feel under the fingers.

Mark Morton’s tone, bottled by Gibson

Of course, the heart of this guitar is tone — and you’re fully armed. It’s loaded with Mark Morton’s signature humbuckers, crafted by the Gibson Pickup Shop to deliver his unmistakable sound:

• Rhythm pickup: Uses moderate, PAF‑style windings with a ceramic magnet for clarity, punch and definition.
• Lead pickup: Turns things up a notch with hotter windings and a ceramic magnet for extra power, presence and bite.

Both run through individual volume and tone controls with Orange Drop capacitors, plus a 3‑way selector for classic Les Paul versatility. Go from tight, percussive rhythms to searing, high‑gain lead tones. They’re all there.

Looks that mean business

Finished in smooth satin nitrocellulose, the Translucent Ebony Burst Satin finish shows off that quilt top beautifully, complemented by sleek chrome hardware, Grover Rotomatic locking tuners, chrome covers, black rings with chrome trim, plus a matching chrome jack plate. You also get a truss rod cover featuring Mark’s signature, a set of his Stringjoy strings, a Gibson Accessory Kit and a Modern hardshell case.

• AAA Quilted Maple top: The kind of top that screams “premium” before you even hit a note!
• Mahogany body with Ultra Modern weight relief: All the rich, thumping Les Paul resonance you love, but without the back‑breaking heft. Perfect for marathon gigs, rehearsals or simply avoiding a visit to the chiropractor.
• Medium jumbo frets: An absolute dream for expressive bends and silky‑smooth playability.
• Mark Morton signature humbuckers: Purpose‑built by the Gibson Pickup Shop to deliver Mark’s crushing rhythms and laser‑focused lead tones — from tight, articulate cleans to full‑bore metal aggression.

• Included hardshell case: A rugged, premium case that keeps your pride and joy safe wherever you take it.
