Description:
Tony Iommi is one of the most influential guitar players of all time. His iconic riffs and crushing tones, heard all over Black Sabbath's early records, arguably formed the blueprint for heavy metal. And his various projects in the decades since have continued a spellbinding career universally loved and revered. While Iommi's innovative tuning and techniques were a major part of his monstrous sound, a heavily-modified 1964 Gibson SG named "Monkey" was at the centre of it all.
This Gibson USA Tony Iommi signature SG Special pays homage to that legendary instrument which launched countless awe-inspiring riffs. With a full Mahogany construction, an Indian Rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets, a Graph Tech nut, Grover Rotomatic tuners and chrome-covered P-90 pickups — this kitted-out guitar effortlessly captures Iommi's tone and will encourage you to find your own voice too!
