I went over and Richie was there, along with a few other folks. I think he does pizza every Sunday night or something. I was in Nashville working on some music stuff and Cesar Gueikian invited me to his house. “Yeah! And I ended up jamming with Richie not long ago. Seriously though, given what Gibson have been doing with the likes of Kirk Hammett, Dave Mustaine, Adam Jones and Richie Faulkner, it must feel like you’re in good company. “Hey, if you’ve got inside information, you let me know !” Well, that’s an exclusive, then – the debut Mark Morton signature Les Paul Custom will be arriving next March…

It’s a wonderful community full of very creative people who are great listeners.”
“What I can tell you definitively is that Gibson have been incredibly supportive and very open to ideas that I have… and I have a lot of them. So we’d be right in guessing a Mark Morton signature range through Gibson is currently in the works? I didn’t realize how diehard the Jackson community was until I switched! Honestly, going to Gibson felt very full circle because that’s where I started.” “And then of course you’ve got the dual volumes and tones, the pickup selector on the top horn and two humbuckers… it was basically a neck-thru Les Paul! So this whole idea of it being shocking that I’d moved to Les Pauls was kinda funny because to me that’s kinda what I was playing already! Okay, there were a few differences like the scale length, but it was very close. In fact, when we spec’d out the Dominion, we went fret-by-fret and measured my Les Paul, using it as the platform for the whole design. But a lot of the specs, particularly the handmade ones I was playing, were based on that ’75 Les Paul. “I still have quite a few of them, obviously. “I’m super-proud of the guitars we made,” he continues. Perhaps most tellingly of all, a closer look into the spec of his now discontinued signature models reveals a lot about where the inspiration came from and what he was trying to achieve. Though he’s very appreciative of all the newfound support over at Gibson, he’s keen to point out “that doesn’t mean anything was lacking at Jackson”.
