Loaded with Gibson USA pickups and outfitted with the best hardware and wood available in Epiphone catalog, this sinister SG is the latest design of the Godfather of Heavy Metal.
Tony Iommi is a man who needs no introduction in the guitar world. The driving force behind the world`s first proper heavy metal band, Black Sabbath, is still going strong after almost five decades on the scene. Though Black Sabbath has been the focal point of his career ever since its inception, Mr. Iommi has made contributions to various other bands and artists. Also, he is one of the several guitar gods which embraced the now cult Gibson SG. It just so happened that the pickups on the Strat Mr. Iommi used for the recording of Black Sabbath`s first album broke just after the first song was recorded. His back up guitar was Gibson SG. Fast forward forty five years and no one can imagine Tony Iommi without an SG, nor can SG be imagined without Tony. For the summer of 2015, Mr. Iommi has joined forces with Epiphone`s luthiers to reinvent the legendary six-string. The result is the formidable Limited Edition Tony Iommi Signature SG Custom. Top class tonewoods, Gibson USA electronics and Gibson USA level of build comprise what is arguably the best Epiphone SG ever made.
Epiphone Limited Edition Tony Iommi Signature SG Custom comes with a solid and double-cut body, set mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard with 24 frets. It is clad in black and features nickel-plated hardware. But, the stars of the specs list are its two pickups – the active Gibson USA Tony Iommi humbuckers. These bad boys deliver the classic Sabbath tone, while retaining crystal clarity even with downtuned strings.
