General
The Jackson DX2 Mark Morton Signature is a tasteful solid-body guitar by Jackson, of which this is the Satin Black version. This instrument is fitted with special Mark Morton details (guitarist of Lamb of God) which make it really stand out. For instance, it features the Mark Dominion headstock with three white tuning pegs on both sides. The body is made of mahogany, the one-piece maple neck runs seamlessly through the body, allowing for playing comfort at the highest frets. Because the rosewood fretboard has a compound radius, from 12 inches towards 16 inches, it's easy to play fast solos as well as chords at the first frets. The bridge can be adjusted and has a chrome-plated tailpiece.
Mark Morton Signature Humbuckers
This DX2 is equipped with two Mark Morton Signature humbuckers that were released by DiMarzio and Mark Morton after an intense testing period of two year. The bridge model offers a fast response and a fat sound. The neck humbucker, with a slightly higher output than that of a vintage humbucker, is perfectly balanced and provides a clear sound. The tone and volume of these humbuckers can be controlled separately. A three-way switch, which can be found on the top left of the body, allows for different pickup combinations. The DX2 Signature X offers a trace of Mark Morton and lots of quality at a very attractive price.

Wegens een lage prijs van 314,- euro, goede reviews, en wat mij betreft heel aardige looks, werd het een nieuwe Candy Apple Red Classic Vibe 60's Squier Strat (SSS). Jammer genoeg geen 70s kop en geen Tele body (tja, keuzes), maar met bijgekochten zwarte coil covers en knoppen, een fender vintage tweed band en tweed kabel, zeer tevreden met mijn eerste elektrische gitaar aankoop!
Leuke looks, voelt lekker aan, weegt niet zwaar, prettig bespeelbaar (wat weet ik daar nou van, haha), de tremmelo arm bungeld wel wat losjes maar het geheel ontstemd amper bij gebruik, en verder een erg veelzijdig geluid.
..Toen zag ik afgelopen jaar ineens deze Jackson Mark Morton gitaar op de Bax site. WOW! Meteen op m'n wenslijstje gezet, terwijl ik totaal geen budget had voor welke gitaar dan ook. Laat staan om 700 a 750 euro voor deze schitterende humbucker (HH) gitaar te betalen. Maar wat was ik weg van die body. Soort van kruising tussen Strat en Tele, en dan ook nog eens die weelderige headstock.
En dan, tijdens wat snuffelen op de Bax site zie ik de prijs en voorraad van deze Mark Morton behoorlijk kelderen. Eerst iets van een goede 400 euro, en de volgende dag...
Nog 4 stuks, 3 stuks, 2.., en BAM!
Yee haw! Ik had de aller laatste voor maar TWEEHONDERDDRIEENTWINTIG (223) euro!!! Ja, ja. dat lees je goed! De boze vrouw nam ik met een flinke discussie en glimlach IN mn kop dan ook graag voor lief, haha.
Ik heb 'm nu een tijdje, en buiten het feit dat de potmeters de laatste centimeter ineens een stuk meer gain geven - van clean naar meer distortion gaat dan snel, maar misschien is dat bewust? - en een iets scheve decal op de kop, ben ik er heel, heel erg blij mee! En niet op z'n minst vanwege de erg mooie klank die deze gitaar kan voortbrengen (koop er een goede Fender kabel bij, dat scheelt echt in helderheid en warmte van klank t.o.v. Devine heb ik bemerkt na aankoop van het laatst genoemde merk!).
Deze Jackson ligt verder lekker in de hand, is ietsje top zwaar (mn brede donkerbruine leren gitaar band heft dat op), en hij speelt net minder licht dan de Strat ondanks dat er eveneens een .009 setje op zit.
Mogelijk dat er nog een coil split volgt zoals bij z'n duurdere broer standaard is, maar geen idee wat dat kost?! Dat is - net als een mooie Bigsby - toekomst muziek.
Voorlopig klinkt de muziek zo al lekker genoeg ;-)
