It’s honestly not too surprising to me that mark switched to Gibson. He’s said for a long time that he loves vintage instruments and his dominions were homage to those. He’s also talked highly of Gibsons and fenders for a while so the switch isn’t too crazy
I just want Fender to really just lean in and start expanding the fender metal brand more than just the JR sigs. Like a MIM production version of Chris Garza’s Masterbuilt 7 string would be amazing. Jackson and Charvel are cool but Having fender offer more metal options would be amazing.
Agreed. The JR jazzmaster is cool, but I can't stand the neck and 70's headstock. I'd love to see the black one with an ebony fretboard and a neck/headstock matching the body.
They just gotta keep making the flathead series or make it in bigger numbers. Those are so simple yet so effective. Ideally fender never really was a metal brand. Yes JR is the metal line of Fender (and I think that’s why fender wanted to make signatures with him) are unique. But fender is more traditional. FMIC own Charvel and Jackson and want to use them as their metal brands (which I also understand). You also have to remember, most other brands who have traditional guitars and metal guitars also don’t own 2 other brands they can have solely dedicated to specific markets. That’s something I can get behind. But yeah it would be cool if fender could make some 7’s and extended range guitars
The closet shape Gibson does to a Mark Morton is a Non-reverse Firebird. Just keep the body shape. Basically a LP/shaped like a non -reversed Firebird. That would even have me wanting one, LOL.
Marks the man and my favorite guitar player. I had one of the original Dominions from 2007. Wish I never sold it. I'm keeping my eye out for his future Gibson stuff. Marks also been playing Les Paul's in his IG videos for awhile now
I know you mainly follow the metal side of guitar but Fender give TONNES of guitars to young hot bands. Any big-ish rock bands in the UK right now are all playing the latest Fender models, mustangs, duo sonics, player plus series guitars.
Yeah, and that's kind of my point. Endorsements are a two-way street, and while Fender is investing heavily in future artists, Gibson don't seem to be doing nearly as much on that front.
@@agufish Yeah thats true. Maybe its cos Gibson don't have those lower-tier models that Fender do that they can essentially throw at smaller artists for free promo haha
Personally, I'd like a comparison between the DV-77 and V30. Got myself a pair of Eminences but solely on Kohle's video. Would want to see another comparison.

Mark Morton & a Gibson Les Paul already has a bitter taste to me. My retail store has one delivery of Jackson Dominion coming n November, although I won't have the cash by then. I can honestly say I don't want a Mark Morton Les Paul.
@@Ottophil There's already too many Gibson endorsed artists. If Gibson get's a PILE of big name artists, then everybody kinda sounds, looks & plays the same. Not what I'd like to see. If that works for other people that's cool with me, but I'll steer clear of that desire.
My favorite fluence set is the Devin Townsend set, for the same reason as the Will Adler -- and it comes in black, so it works on more guitars in terms of aesthetic.
About the suggested MM Firebird sig, give it locking tuners all you want, as long as it gets the correct headstock, I can't stand the headstock on the black custom Firebird/Epiphone Firebird 😂
My thoughts on Jackson are that they are my new go-to company for upgrade candidates. I bought my first Jackson in order to use a Wilkinson vibrato bridge that I wanted to put into play. I got the Jackson JS22 Dinky because it was easy to install the bridge on. It's not a perfect match as the pickup pole pieces don't line up with the strings, but it doesn't change the sound, so I live with it (painlessly). I'm planning the acquisition of another JS22 Dinky and a JS32 Dinky with a Floyd Rose vibrato. I'm considering P-94s (P-90s in humbucker-sized casings) for the JS22 and a set of the same pickups I have in my current JS22 Dinky for use in the JS32. I'm also golding it out -- you know, black hardware replaced with gold hardware. That way, I can have a (somewhat) Strat-style guitar with the P-90 sound if not the look and another guitar with high-output ALNICO 2 humbuckers and gold hardware, BOTH with Jackson's Speed Necks and conical (compound) radius fretboards! This will all take much time as I'm starting a new job and it'll be a while before I get to some full paychecks, but that's the big holdback. As for the artist stuff, in truth I have no idea what guitars are like at the high end. You are right, though, that the old guard guitar companies need to attract more contemporary artists to their stables in order to stay relevant to contemporary listeners.
Honestly I feel like it would be nice if Gibson split to two „brands” (something like Gibson Original and Gibson Modern) where original would make guitars like back in the day and modern would experiment with baritones, 7 strings, multiscales etc. Just imagine a baritone Thunderbird with evertune bridge, staneless steel fanned frets, fishmans and built in MIDI pickup…
yeah they can justify all the traditional specs on the Original line and have the Modern line (maybe with he Gibson logo having a different color like chrome) having the comfort cuts and weight reliefs. Could never see them with SS frets or fanned frets though.
I’d like to see you do a review of the EVH 5150 stealth amp. Also I am curious about the Peavey Invective MH and would definitely check out a review on that one as well.
You REALLY need to try the PRS Amps; the Archon & the MT15 ...... i think you may be in for a shock (esp. that MT15 .... that's a galaxy destroying amp that punches so hard above its size)
imo MT-15 still best in class for metal. The EVH lunchbox doesn't have the punch and the Fortin Sigil is hard to find and costs more. MT-15 is built like a tank too and has outstanding cleans. MT-15 + overdrive pedal into a 2x12 is the best for lower volume metal imo.
@@MaestroJericho Yup; it's a tank of an amp, & if you're gonna go 2x12, loading it with HESU Demons or Celestion EVH's/Greenbacks is the way to go .... v30's just don't do this little tank enough justice.
I just recently discovered how insanely good PRS is, so I'm definitely going to take your advice and check their amps out. Thanks for the tip 👍🏼 (I can't believe I hated PRS for so long just because I thought the guitars didn't look cool; I was such a moron.)
I’d love to see bands that have been Gibson artists get their own signatures, like the boys in Coheed and Cambria. Claudio and Travis have been Gibson dudes since they began. Give Claudio a signature E2 Explorer reissue with BKP Nailbombs.
I am interested in he new Javier Reyes signature Fluence set. Excellent lead tone from what I can tell and not that far removed from the Abasi set. PLease review these if you get the chance! The new ESP LTD JR-7 comes with the Reyes set, btw!
Best fishman pickup is the abasi. Have the moderns in the Josh middleton signature and the abasi in a phoenix 1k, and the cleans & single coils absolutely destroy. Love the tone on those. Check em out Hunter! Great for cleans and metal
Saw lamb of god in July for the 5th time and he was rockin his Jackson. Seeing them again in another week so I guess he will be rockin a generic les Paul. That’s a shame. Those jackson sigs were unique and original. Now he’s gonna be rocking a generic les Paul like every other signature les Paul ever. Been a fan for 17 years and not seeing him with his Jackson is gonna be weird
Be sick if it was a Les Paul custom dark red flames cab,his sig pups,modern neck heal, gold or black hardware,locking tuners of some type,lol and a burst driver system for fun..lol I put one in my 2011 LP prophecy gx.and it really gives u extra boost. But yes .I hope that's the Morton sign or something close
If Gibson cared about creating something new & unique they'd switch to an option 24 3/4" & 25 1/4 " scale, a choice of Fishman, Gibson PAF, or EMGs, 6 in line tuners/ 3 x 3 tuners/ or 4 X 2 tuners, locking tuners or traditional tuners
Some of those make sense, like adding more pickup options and locking tuners and even stainless frets on a modern line. But offering optional scale lengths and headstock/tuner layouts isn’t realistic. Going that far would turn them into something like Kiesel with their semi custom builds, and that’s just not really do able at the scale Gibson (nor any other major manufacturer really) operates at.
Mike Stringer been playing his custom Aristides guitars as of this past weekend. They made that sweet Eternal Blue guitar and gave it to him as a gift. Siiick surprise. They take care of him. He also was using Quad Cortex and I think Kemper but now uses Revv cabs and the EVH Stealth. He is evolving for sure. His style of playing definitely needs an evertune for those crazy low tunings and bending style of playing.
I’ve been saying for years & even tweeted Gibson about getting into the modern guitar game. Locking tuners, baritone offerings, Wilkinson terms & do it across the board of their main shapes. Then bring back a bolt on like their 70’s Marauders & S1 guitars & throw in a Long Horn with modern and traditional specs. Then hit some younger artists like Robot Monster *BOOM*
Intrigued by the new sponsor 🧐. I struggle with alcohol’s INSANE effects on my blood sugar. I’ve always loved enjoying craft beers with friends and family, but my blood sugar spikes so much, I’ve been told that my body is acting like I’m diabetic…without officially receiving the diagnosis from my Dr. It’s so bad, I don’t really drink at all anymore. I replace any and all alcohol with a VERY mild dose cannabis, and while I enjoy still being able to partake in some kind of “cheer” when hanging out with friends, I think some of my friends still find that slightly off putting. It’d be nice to enjoy the occasional flight of beers.
Gotta agree with you, hopefully they’ll put in his signature pickups. Was shitty of Gibson not to do this with the last Slash Collection. Imagine paying all that money and not having his signature pickups - Real shit
@@agufish it kept showing black screen on my end. So I went strung up a couple neglected guitars. Now I’m gonna watch! Thanks for replying Hunter, keep on keeping on my dude!
I got a back cherry EC-1000T with the open core Fishmans in it........ they are *meh* to me. Not bad at all.... but I have a Solo standard schecter... w/ stock pups. I like them better lol killer axe though.
All Gibson have to do is take the LP that has the most features a new young up and coming guy likes. Then put any body style the guy likes and put in his favorite PU's. Once a few of these gained a market they can just keep morphing the winners into the next thing.
I can see Mark with reversed reversed Firebird, not the non-reversed one, but typical Firebird shape literally flipped, cause it will be practicaly identical to his Jackson guitars
Completely agree... get out of your own way Gibson, and create a line of more modern guitars. Keep all of the awesome traditional stuff in the Original series and CS, and jump in with a modern line. It doesn't even have to be wild changes, I would love to see a neck-thru LP or V with modern pickups. Give the LP a deep heel and ebony fingerboard and knock 5mm off the thickness while you are at it. Your own sub-brand is killing it with modern flavored guitars (.. and then crippling them with weird decisions like, I dunno, a D shaped thin neck).
Gibson has Michael Clifford from 5 Seconds of Summer in their roster and put out his signature Melody Maker. I don't understand why they don't make an Epiphone version of it since his fangirls would buy them all pretty much immediately.
It looks pretty sick, to be fair. Single hum, blacked out Melody maker? You'd definitely get more than just 5SOS fangirls buying one if it was an affordable Epi
I have fishman moderns, classics, and adlers (thanks to this channel!) and all are great - but since I got the Greg Koch p90s - oh man. If you thought fishman made good humbuckers… the Koch p90s are even better - literally best pickup I’ve ever played, period.
Could see him with a weight relieved modern that looks like the Supreme-esque Les Pauls on the back. If they do bring back the Supreme line Mark's could be a modern version of the Supreme and would still sell well like the Heafy/Bjorn Gellote/etc models since they're pretty unique and don't scream signature
I've been on record as saying your v2 Signature with Harley Benton is probably the most anticipated guitar release for me. The bright green and blue colors with black hardware for me is the selling point. I know you've speced it with value in mind. So my question is if you were to spec the guitar as money no object. What changes would you make?
Appreciate that, man! I'd have to think about that, but off the top of my head, it'd have an Eastman-style varnish finish, Hipshot open gear locking tuners and Tone-A-Matic bridge, custom-voiced bar magnet/pole piece Fishman Fluence set with voices based on Will Adler Active/Bare Knuckle Polymath, Evertune, and a Piezo.
@@agufish I'm with you on the Will Adler voice. I'd love voice 2 for me to be something similar to a Duncan pearly gates set in both positions. Then Will's voicing for the main one. I'd still have the guitar the satin blue color. Same tuners as you.
I've been really thinking about upgrading my E-II eclipse with Fishman's, just because I love that guitar and I want it to be more versatile. I would've loved to put Willie Adlers in there but it would totally ruin the red/black vibe going on...
It would be interesting to see Fluff get a signature Gibson when his Ernie Ball deal is up. I’d also like to see Gibson do more than just rock and metal and do more with the acoustic stuff. If Gibson doesn’t want to go with a modern product line I think they will be fine. They are a founding brand and have enough people who want those “old time” instruments so who cares? If they really want to turn heads and make people take notice I think they could always start working with pop punk acts like August Is Falling and get them rocking out on LP Jr models.
In my opinion this is not a signature guitar at all, it’s an another variation of a signature of Les Paul himself. Mike had at least somewhat of a personality put into his Jackson.
I love that Mark is giving the moderns some love. I truly believe they are quite a misunderstood model and I really love mine. Not a fan of the finishes tho, that's why I sent mine to refinish in silverburst.
Can Gibson once and for all address the string angle/tuning issue? Modern players don’t want to deal with tuning BS. Just buy out String Butler and include them on modern LP’s.
Gibson got punished for trying to innovate so they’ll be very careful to do that - under the Gibson flag at least. Of course their ‘innovations’ were sheit which is why it would be cool if they start to try some more (better) stuff now the ‘classics’ are in check.
Two minutes in (middle of Morton/Gibson segment). Not sure if it’s mentioned yet in the video, but my Jackson fanboy-ism is immediately coming out. I see the new Jackson American Series SL3 (not sure if that’s the official name of it??) in the background. 👀

I think a full thickness, non-reverse Firebird with all of Mark's specs and a Les Paul headstock would be absolutely EPIC.
Could see him totally use all the Gibson shapes and having a lot of one-off builds
That would definitely be the closest Gibson shape to his Jackson signature. (Also, non-reverse Firebirds are just rad.)
@@calvinlee8103 Exactly. I think a fully modernized version of that would be a big step in the right direction for Gibson.

I hope Jackson keep the Dominion shape. Cool for Mark going to Gibson if that's something he's always wanted, but I dig the Dominion more.
Everyone plays Les Pauls it seems , Marks Jackson Diminions are bad ass
I could see them phase it out and push out the Monarch more.
I don’t think they will unfortunately. It was his custom shape, and they’ve already pulled all mention off them off their site.

Gibson has Michael Clifford from 5 Seconds of Summer in their roster and put out his signature Melody Maker. I don't understand why they don't make an Epiphone version of it since his fangirls would buy them all pretty much immediately.
It looks pretty sick, to be fair. Single hum, blacked out Melody maker? You'd definitely get more than just 5SOS fangirls buying one if it was an affordable Epi
Omega amp works. Contact them about their obsidian head and 4x12 cab. Would love to see your reaction to those 🤘🏻
Remember the Event Horizon amp? That would be sick!
I have fishman moderns, classics, and adlers (thanks to this channel!) and all are great - but since I got the Greg Koch p90s - oh man. If you thought fishman made good humbuckers… the Koch p90s are even better - literally best pickup I’ve ever played, period.
That’s good?? That settles it, I’m planning to put them in the Electra build!
@@agufish nice! Yah they even crush for metal, I think you’ll be quite happy as a fishman guy
Could see him with a weight relieved modern that looks like the Supreme-esque Les Pauls on the back. If they do bring back the Supreme line Mark's could be a modern version of the Supreme and would still sell well like the Heafy/Bjorn Gellote/etc models since they're pretty unique and don't scream signature
That's an interesting green guitar in the bottom left...
Roman from jinjer recently using Jackson after leaving OD guitars which is cool
I've been on record as saying your v2 Signature with Harley Benton is probably the most anticipated guitar release for me. The bright green and blue colors with black hardware for me is the selling point. I know you've speced it with value in mind. So my question is if you were to spec the guitar as money no object. What changes would you make?
Appreciate that, man! I'd have to think about that, but off the top of my head, it'd have an Eastman-style varnish finish, Hipshot open gear locking tuners and Tone-A-Matic bridge, custom-voiced bar magnet/pole piece Fishman Fluence set with voices based on Will Adler Active/Bare Knuckle Polymath, Evertune, and a Piezo.
@@agufish I'm with you on the Will Adler voice. I'd love voice 2 for me to be something similar to a Duncan pearly gates set in both positions. Then Will's voicing for the main one. I'd still have the guitar the satin blue color. Same tuners as you.
I've been really thinking about upgrading my E-II eclipse with Fishman's, just because I love that guitar and I want it to be more versatile. I would've loved to put Willie Adlers in there but it would totally ruin the red/black vibe going on...
Yeah Gibson should *definitely* do a modern sig. However, it should be an Agufish sig Epiphone. Seriously.
It would be interesting to see Fluff get a signature Gibson when his Ernie Ball deal is up. I’d also like to see Gibson do more than just rock and metal and do more with the acoustic stuff. If Gibson doesn’t want to go with a modern product line I think they will be fine. They are a founding brand and have enough people who want those “old time” instruments so who cares? If they really want to turn heads and make people take notice I think they could always start working with pop punk acts like August Is Falling and get them rocking out on LP Jr models.
I feel like his Balaguer sigs were much cooler than EBMM. Can't beat having a bigger company backing you though including strings and cables.
@@MaestroJericho I think that was the deal. He needed a brand that could get him support gear in other parts of the world.
Where’s my Adam Jones Epiphone?! Gawd damn!
I have an LTD Warbird upgraded with his signature Fishmans. So killer!
my custom js22-7 is a Chinese Jackson but I've added invader pickups tone ninja locking tuners bone nut and hipshot bridge
That Novo is the sleeper of the video.
Mark Morton non-reverse firebird would look sick
Ok all good now
Fuck yesss.
Oh cool, I see one new green Jackson American Series Soloist in the background! Is some Dad-Metal guitar review incoming?
Dude... That red quilt maple firebird sig would be sexy as hell.
In my opinion this is not a signature guitar at all, it’s an another variation of a signature of Les Paul himself. Mike had at least somewhat of a personality put into his Jackson.
I saw spiritbox last week and didn’t see any Jackson’s
I love that Mark is giving the moderns some love. I truly believe they are quite a misunderstood model and I really love mine. Not a fan of the finishes tho, that's why I sent mine to refinish in silverburst.
Damn, I bet that looks sick! Did you do full teardrop Silverburst front and back?
@@agufish Yes, teardrop on the front and back and also burst on the neck and the back of the headstock
bring back the RD for mark morton
Can Gibson once and for all address the string angle/tuning issue? Modern players don’t want to deal with tuning BS. Just buy out String Butler and include them on modern LP’s.
Gibson got punished for trying to innovate so they’ll be very careful to do that - under the Gibson flag at least. Of course their ‘innovations’ were sheit which is why it would be cool if they start to try some more (better) stuff now the ‘classics’ are in check.
Two minutes in (middle of Morton/Gibson segment). Not sure if it’s mentioned yet in the video, but my Jackson fanboy-ism is immediately coming out. I see the new Jackson American Series SL3 (not sure if that’s the official name of it??) in the background. 👀
My official statement at this time is “I have no idea what you’re talking about” 😛
@@agufish Well I can’t wait until all is revealed. 😉
dam i just bought a jackson dominion too
Was the one Scott Ian intercepted a Victory?
Hopefully you've got something from Victory coming 🤘
Should try to demo omega granophyre
Id buy an Ltd purple burst in a second
I got a Jackson JS12 dinky it sounds pissed off in Drop B.
Being as Gibson owns Mesa Boogie he may as well join Gibson/Epiphone and just be all in house on guitars and amps he needs..
