History of Ibanez Guitars

The history of Ibanez guitars is one of the most interesting ones in the guitar world. It all began in 1929 when Hoshino Gakki, a Japanese Musical Instruments company began importing and further-on, bought out the Spanish company Salvador Ibanez guitars as it was pretty much destroyed during the Spanish civil war. By 1935 Hoshino Gakki had started the production of Ibanez Salvador Spanish acoustic guitars in Nagoya, Japan. Read more

History of Jackson Guitars

As many know, Jackson Guitars started when the heavy metal wave was on its peak. Grover Jackson first in-scripted his name on a guitar that was designed by the late Randy Rhoads in 1980, when he was still teamed up with Charvel guitars. The reason behind this was that Jackson thought that a guitar with such design would be too shocking for the regular Charvel customers. Read more

Jackson Mark Morton Signature Dominion Guitar

LAMB OF GOD’S, Mark Morton, is known as the riff monster of guitar players, so it just makes sense why Jackson Guitars decided to unite with Mark Morton and design a signature model.

If you don’t know much about the guitarist of LAMB OF GOD, let’s just say Morton’s fire-breathing rhythms and rapid-fire riffing skillfully incorporates a great unconventional style. The style fuels the band’s hardcore harmonious technique. Many people do not realize Morton is also a player of blues, jazz, fusion and country styles when not on stage or touring the road.

When Morton teamed with Jackson Guitars, his first focus was for versatility to be added to the design. The outcome has helped Lamb of God’s guitarist produce a heavy metal style, while still delivering Morton’s versatile requirements for off-stage playing. The result delivers back to Morton’s fans, to not only emulate the Lamb of God’s style, but also create a signature style.

Morton took the guitar on tour with him to test it prior to its release. The guitar’s high performance ratio aligned directly with what Morton was looking for and what fans demanded along with comfort, tone and quality.

With a mahogany body and black quilted maple top, the spirit of Morton’ s playing is encapsulated in this guitar, in addition to the equipped components, such as Seymour Duncan ’59 dual humbuckers with coil tap switches. Jackson created a nice chunky, vintage feel with its 24 ¾-inch scale mahogany neck, neck-through-mahogany body for added resonance and sustain, and Pultruded graphite rods through the neck, 22 jumbo frets on its precisely accurate ebony fretboard. The Schaller adjustable bridge has an anchored tailpiece to add indefinite character to the Morton’s signature shred machine.
