Lamb of God's Mark Morton has a new signature Les Paul, featuring AAA quilted maple, custom humbuckers, and Translucent Ebony finish, with only two units available in Australia.
The ferocious riffs of Mark Morton have been a driving force behind Lamb of God since the band helped define the new wave of American heavy metal, and now he has his own signature instrument with the Gibson Mark Morton Les Paul Modern Quilt.
Renowned for commanding rhythm work and technically refined yet melodic lead, Morton blends metal, thrash and blues influences that energise even the most intense of crowds. Gibson has captured that distinctive sound in a limited-edition signature model that looks as aggressive as it sounds.

The centrepiece is a stunning AAA quilted maple top finished in Translucent Ebony Burst Satin. Smooth satin nitrocellulose lacquer accentuates the quilted maple while complementing the chrome hardware details throughout. Only two of these instruments are available in Australia, making this a genuinely limited opportunity for collectors and players.
Under the hood, Ultra Modern weight relief keeps the guitar comfortable during extended sets without sacrificing tone or sustain. A Modern Contoured Heel provides improved upper fret access for those technical runs Morton is known for. Driving the tone are two Mark Morton signature humbuckers crafted specifically by the Gibson Pickup Shop to capture his distinctive sound. These are voiced to deliver the aggression and clarity Morton needs to cut through massive walls of distortion while maintaining definition for cleaner passages.
Finishing touches include a truss rod cover bearing Morton’s signature and a set of his preferred Stringjoy strings. Gibson includes everything in a Modern hard-shell case along with a Gibson Accessory Kit, so you’re ready to go right away.
For players who admire that modern metal Les Paul sound without sacrificing the classic Gibson feel, Morton’s signature model hits the mark. It’s built for high-gain punishment whilst maintaining enough versatility for dynamic playing. With only two units landing in Australia, those interested should move quickly.
