These two new guitars got the approval of the guitarist of Lamb of God and were part of the 14 new models unveiled by Jackson at the concluded 2014 NAMM Show.
Mark Morton Dominion Pro
The Mark Morton Dominion Pro is an upgraded high-end version of Mark Morton’s original signature model. It comes with a bound mahogany body with carved chambers and is available in Ivory and Black gloss finishes. Jackson equipped the guitar with two DiMarzio Mark Morton Dominion Signature humbuckers, wired in a special “dual-circuit” design that gives the guitar two voices for lead and rhythm duties. Controls include a two-way slider switch, three-way toggle pickup selector switch and two coil-tap toggle switches (one for each pickup).
The guitar has a scale length of 24.75″ and features a 12″-16″ compound-radius fretboard.
As part of the Pro Series, the guitar comes with premium features that include three-piece quartersawn mahogany through-body neck with oiled back finish and graphite reinforcement, distinctive three-on-a-side Jackson Mark Morton Dominion headstock, bound ebony fingerboard, 22 vintage-style frets and shark-eye block inlays. Other hardware include TonePros TP6 adjustable bridge with stop tailpiece and Jackson locking tuners with white pearloid buttons, all finished in gold.
Mark Morton DX2 Dominion
Budget conscious fans of Lamb of God will be glad to learn that Mark Morton’s signature guitar is now available as part of the affordable X Series. The new Mark Morton DX2 Dominion delivers the same style and sound with remarkable value. It is available in satin Black and gloss Trans Black finishes with quilt maple top. The same DiMarzio Mark Morton Dominion Signature humbucking pickups are installed on the guitar, albeit with a more straightforward 3-way toggle switching.
The guitar comes with a one-piece through-body maple neck with graphite reinforcement, topped by a bound rosewood fingerboard with 24 vintage-style frets. Important measurements are retained including the 24.75” scale length and 12″-16″ compound-radius fretboard. Other features include three-on-a-side Jackson Mark Morton Dominion headstock, adjustable chrome bridge with stop tailpiece, and chrome hardware.
