Designed around Mark Morton’s precise, hard-hitting playing style, this model blends classic mahogany warmth with a brighter, more detailed top-end from an AAA quilted maple top, all wrapped in a smooth satin nitrocellulose lacquer that feels fast under the hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mahogany body features Ultra Modern weight relief, giving you that familiar Les Paul authority without feeling like a workout on long rehearsals, studio sessions, or full-length sets. It’s the kind of guitar that stays comfortable on a strap, balances well, and still delivers a confident low-mid punch when you dig in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFast neck feel with effortless upper-fret access\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA SlimTaper mahogany neck keeps things quick and familiar, while the Modern Contoured Heel makes a real difference when you’re living above the 12th fret. Pair that with an ebony fingerboard and compound radius, and you’ve got a playing surface that feels slick for bends, accurate for modern riffing, and controlled for technical lead lines. Mother of pearl trapezoid inlays complete the classic Les Paul look, but the overall feel is unmistakably “Modern”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMark Morton signature pickups – clarity, punch, and presence\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of this Les Paul Modern Quilt is a set of Mark Morton signature humbucker pickups handcrafted by the Gibson Pickup Shop. The rhythm pickup is voiced for clarity and output with ceramic magnets and moderate, PAF-style windings—great for percussive chugs, palm-muted riffs, and tight tracking in the studio. The lead pickup steps up to higher output windings (also with ceramic magnets) for extra presence, cut, and sustain when it’s time to push forward in a mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElectronics are hand-wired with individual volume and tone controls, plus Orange Drop capacitors for smooth, usable tone shaping—perfect for rolling from articulate cleans to saturated modern gain without losing definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStage-ready hardware and premium inclusions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChrome hardware, Grover Rotomatic locking tuners with Keystone buttons, an aluminium Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminium stop bar tailpiece keep tuning and intonation solid. It ships with a Modern hardshell case, plus a Gibson accessory kit and a Mark Morton signature Stringjoy string pack. At Guitar World Gold Coast, we love this model for players who need a premium Gibson Les Paul Modern that can cover heavy styles, contemporary rock, and high-gain lead work while still feeling unmistakably “Les Paul”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMahogany body with Ultra Modern weight relief and AAA quilted maple top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSatin nitrocellulose
