Jackson Mark Morton Dominion
The Jackson Mark Morton Dominion is a guitar in a signature series, designed by Mark Morton, the guitar player from Lamb of God. Mark himself describes the guitar as a unique sounding instrument with a great sound to it, and nobody could say it better! The unique shape of the Jackson Mark Morton will definitely have heads turning in that direction, and once you plug it in and hit a power chord, you will wonder where it has been all of your life!
The sleek design of the Dominion is different, but catchy. Actually, it sort of looks like a Les Paul-Stratocaster combination but interwoven with some crazy curvatures and interlaid with a unique, precision cutaway! The guitar is obviously an edgy instrument, and that is why it has found such a home among hard rock-metal players. And when it comes to tones well, better to plug in and see for yourself! Let’s just say that the Dominion delivers, and leave it at that.
Several key features help to make this guitar a very affordable solution, even if you are looking for something to gig out with or take on the road. These include:
- A quilt maple veneer top
- A bolt on maple neck, complete with a compound radius rosewood fingerboard
- a nato body
- two hum bucking pickups Duncan Design HB-101s to be precise
- and to top it off, it has Mortons signature on the truss rod cover
The scale length on this guitar is the more standard 24.75 inch, which makes it a bit more popular with metal guitarists. The guitar is outfitted with a high quality, 3 position toggle pickup selector, so that you can choose how you want to set up between the two pickups. There are also two volume knobs, and a tone knob for each pickup. The sealed die cast tuners bear the Jackson logo, and the fret size is standard, which will make you feel quite at home, even if you are buying your first metal-head guitar!
There is no question concerning the Dominion.. Jackson has delivered an axe in this guitar that can be wielded with strength, passion, and devotion, even when it takes you out on the road. And with screaming sustain and tones that will knock your socks off, you will be the talk of the town when you arrive with your new Jackson Dominion. The signature series is sweet if you are a Lamb of God fan, but just experiencing this guitar first hand will make you want to check out Mark Morton in greater detail! That is just how sweet this guitar is.
If you are in need of a serious six string, and have the amp power to back it up, the Jackson Dominion is your ticket to raw tone, classic Jackson feel, and fabulous looks. Just be careful all the ladies in the crowd might try to write their numbers on it, which would be bad for the finish!
