Authentic replica of Tony Iommi's modified 64 SG Special
With the Gibson Tony Iommi SG Special Vintage Cherry LefthandGibson sends a loving left-handed reissue of the heavily modified 1964 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 left-handed electric guitar comes with two P-90 pickups for juicy Overdrive sounds, while authentic Vintage-StyleHardware completes the Tony Iommi Signature guitar's features. The printed signature of 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 Lefthand from Gibson a real collector's item not only for metal fans.
The Gibson Tony Iommi SG Special Vintage Cherry Lefthand is based on the Black Sabbath riff master's '64 SG and features the authentic mahogany construction, two P-90 pickups and vintage-style hardware.
The double-cut design of the classically built Iommi SG Special guarantees unobstructed access to high registers of the mahogany neck.
Traditionally built SG
When building the Tony Iommi SG Special for left-handers, the Gibson Luthiers naturally follow the traditional specifications of the popular double cut model, and reproduce the authentic playing feel and the powerful sound character as detailed as possible. Besides the obligatory double-horned mahogany body, the electric guitar features a glued, freestanding mahogany neck in a not-too-boomy "rounded" profile, which can be easily played up to the highest positions of the 22-fret rosewood fingerboard. The ultra-thin nitro finish also promises unlimited resonance joy of the Iommi Signature SG.
Two Gibson P-90 single coils with fancy chrome caps and the classic circuit promise first-class overdrive sounds.
P-90 Single Coils with chrome caps
Just like on the well-known 64 original of the Black Sabbath guitarist, also on the Gibson Tony Iommi SG Special Lefthand two Gibson P-90 pickups take over the electrical sound transformation of the guitar. Due to the surprisingly high Output the chrome-capped single coil pickups elicit extremely juicy overdrive sounds from the guitar amplifier, whose fat midrange spectrum perfectly accentuates gritty riffs and drop tunings. The hand-wired 3-way circuit with separate volume and tone pickups also relies on high-caliber Orange Drop capacitors to precisely adjust the tone with smooth Treble roll-offs.
On the Tony Iommi's signature printed headstock, Grover tuners hold the electric guitar securely in the correct tuning.
Authentic hardware equipment
Of course, Gibson completes the Tony Iommi SG Special Vintage Cherry Lefthand with authentic vintage-style hardware that is perfectly matched to the instrument and professional demands. The Gibson Adjustable Wraparound Tailpiece not only supports the guitar's characterful sound with its special string guide, but also guarantees exact intonation and comfortable string action even when alternative tunings and string gauges are used thanks to the adjustable tailpieces. On the typical open-book headstock, a GraphTech nut guides the strings to the precise and tuning-stable Grover Rotomatic tuners with "Contemporary Style" wings.
