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

Buckle up, Gibson has collaborated with Lamb of God's Mark Morton to deliver the Gibson Mark Morton Les Paul Modern Quilt. Morton, best known for his rhythm and melodic lead work, approached this model with speed, comfort, and expression in mind, using the Les Paul Modern as the platform to build upon. The result is a Les Paul that is focused on high performance with the added benefit of being stunning to look at.

The single-cutaway solidbody is constructed from the traditional Les Paul tonewood pairing: a mahogany body and maple top, but with a twist. Taking advantage of modern advancements in craftsmanship, the body features Gibson's ultra-modern weight relief design to make the body lighter and more comfortable. It's top showcases a stunning AAA quilted maple cap. No pickguard on this one, with a top like that, it needs to be shown off!

For its voice, two Mark Morton signature humbuckers have been specially designed by the Gibson Pickup Shop to deliver Mark's signature sound. The bridge position pickup offers classic PAF style tones using traditional winding patterns and a ceramic magnet, while the neck position outputs a much hotter signal for searing leads that demand presence. The pickups are hand-wired to Orange Drop capacitors and can be further dialed in with the volume/tone controls and the 3-way pickups selector switch.

A SlimTaper mahogany neck is attached to the body and features a modern contoured neck heel for effortless upper fret access. A ebony fingerboard tops the neck and finished with mother of pearl trapezoid inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets. The Translucent Ebony Burst Satin finish and high quality chrome hardware brings the guitar together for a comfortable and stable playing experience. Strings are loaded through the stop bar tail piece and rest of the Nashville style Tune-O-Matic bridge before they are strung to pitch with the locking Grover Rotomatic tuning machines. A custom truss rod cover bearing Morton's signature sits just below the iconic silk screen Les Paul logo.

No signature model is complete without some goodies, right? The guitar comes packed inside a modern hardshell case, within the case players will find a set of Mark's signature Stringjoy strings and a Gibson Accessory Kit.

Whether you're a die-hard fan of Morton, or seeking a high performance Les Paul, this model ticks all the boxes.
