This was designed with Mark Morton of Lamb of God as a more aggressive, performance-focused take on the Les Paul Modern, while still keeping the guitar looking relatively understated. The result is a Les Paul that feels noticeably quicker and lighter than a traditional Standard, but still has the weight and response you expect when you dig into it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe top on this one is absolutely killer. The AAA quilt has a ton of movement, but the dark satin finish keeps it from looking overly flashy. Straight on it can almost look smoky and subdued, then direct light pulls out all of the figuring underneath. The chrome hardware and gloss pickup surrounds contrast really well against the satin top too. Visually, it has a very modern heavy-metal look without screaming signature guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 7.72 lbs on my scale, it is incredibly comfortable for a Les Paul. The Ultra Modern weight relief is immediately noticeable, and combined with the slimmer neck and contoured heel, the whole guitar feels much easier to move around on than a traditional Les Paul. The ebony fretboard is slick, the frets feel buttery, and the low action on this one makes it genuinely effortless to play.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe electronics are one of the biggest reasons this model is different. It has Mark Morton’s Gibson Pickup Shop signature humbuckers, with the bridge pickup voiced hotter and more aggressive while the neck keeps more of that classic full Les Paul character. There is a lot of attack and definition here without the guitar becoming thin or sterile. Palm becoming thin or sterile. Palm-muted notes stay tight, leads cut through easily, and the neck pickup still has plenty of warmth. Electronics passed inspection with no issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition is excellent. It has been kept extremely well with only very minor evidence of normal handling. The top, neck, fretboard, frets and backside all inspected excellent. The neck is straight, intonation is spot on, and the current setup passed inspection exactly where it sits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt includes the original Gibson Modern hardshell case and complete original case candy, including the uninstalled pickguard and accessories shown in the photos.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat stood out to me\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMark Morton signature Les Paul Modern Quilt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAAA quilted maple top with a ton of depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTranslucent Ebony Burst Satin finish looks incredible in changing light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtremely comfortable 7.72 lbs on my scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltra Modern weight relief\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlim, fast-feeling neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContoured heel makes upper fret access noticeably easier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEbony fretboard with buttery fret feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEffortless low-action setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMark Morton Gibson Pickup Shop signature humbuckers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHot, articulate bridge pickup with plenty of punch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent overall condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal Gibson Modern hardshell case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete original case candy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike all my guitars, this one’s been cared for and dialed in—no guesswork, no surprises, just a great instrument that’s ready to play. I personally inspect and test every guitar before it ships, making sure it’s in the exact condition I’d want to receive myself. These guitars come from me, not a shop—each one gets the kind of attention and care only a real guitar lover gives.

Most are purchased within 3–7 days, and I regularly hear from watchers after the listing has already sold.
