Signature guitar with nitro finish and P-90 pickups, including case
The Gibson Tony Iommi SG Special Vintage Cherry is a loving reissue of the heavily modified SG electric guitar that the string wizard from Birmingham used to forge the first Black Sabbath riffs. Based on the classic double-cut design, the electric guitar comes with two P-90 pickups for juicy Overdrive tones, while authentic Vintage-StyleHardware appointments complete the package. The printed signature of Tony Iommi on the back of the headstock and the included Monkey sticker, which the Black Sabbath riff master placed behind the bridge of his SG, make the Tony Iommi SG Special by Gibson a real collector's item.
The Gibson Tony Iommi SG Special Vintage Cherry comes with two P-90 pickups and Adjustable Wraparound Bridge.

Traditionally built SG Double Cut guitar
In building the Tony Iommi SG Special, the Gibson Luthiers follow the traditional specifications of the extremely popular Double Cut model. In addition to the double-horned mahogany body, the electric guitar features a glued, freestanding mahogany neck in a rounded profile that can be easily played up to the highest registers of the 22-fret rosewood fingerboard.
P-90 single coils and authentic hardware
With two Gibson P-90 single coils hidden under beautiful chrome caps, the Tony Iommi SG on the guitar amp delivers extremely juicy overdrive tones, with a fat midrange that brings out the gritty riffs perfectly. The hand-wired 3-way circuit with Orange Drop capacitors also allows you to precisely adjust the tone with smooth Treble roll-offs. A precisely adjustable Adjustable Wraparound Bridge and tuning-stable Grover Rotomatic tuners complete the features of the Tony Iommi SG Special Signature guitar from the Gibson USA Artist Collection.
