Mark Morton's Guitars
Morton, except his Jackson signature guitars, is also noted to play Kurt Cobain's signature Fender Jaguar.
He says the following for Musicradar...
"I'm a huge fan of Kurt Cobain and Nirvana. I guess that doesn't come up too much, but yeah, I'm so into what Kurt and the rest of the guys did, their whole sound.
I asked the people at Fender if I could check the guitar out, and they hooked me up with a Cobain Jaguar. As soon as I got it, I was really impressed with the way it played and sounded. I threw it into the set almost immediately. I play it on the songs Descending and Contractor."
Mark Morton mentions his '75 Gibson Les Paul Goldtop as one of his favorite guitars, alongside his Custom Shop Jackson Dominion, in a tweet.

"This is a mahogany SLS I believe... this guitar was used extensively on the new record, on Wrath. I did, probably most of the guitar solos on that record were recorded with this guitar just cause...that's what these things were made for."

Morton’s solo career also says something about him from a gear perspective. He’s someone who trusts what they know, so outside of his battle-hardened Guild D-55, which was employed throughout work on Ether, he returned to the Jackson Dominions he uses with Lamb Of God. Something that stands out is the breadth of sounds he’s able to wring from a setup that’s usually positioned to annihilate the front row with brute force riffage.
