Tony Iommi SG Special

Heavy Metal Hill

Tony Iommi’s iconic riffs, heavy tones, and massively influential albums created the blueprint for heavy metal and many other genres to follow. His career, like the man himself, is universally loved and revered. And while his innovative tuning and playing styles were a major part of his monstrous tones, a heavily-modified 1964 Gibson SG was at the center of it all. Today, Gibson USA proudly presents the Tony Iommi SG Special, based on his iconic original.
