Epiphone Tony Iommi SG Special electric guitar + case: A tribute to the pioneer of heavy metal

The Epiphone Tony Iommi SG Special is a true tribute to the father of heavy metal and his iconic Gibson SG™, with which he created countless genre-defining riffs. Inspired by Tony Iommi's original SG, on which he wrote classics for Black Sabbath, Epiphone is launching a high-quality guitar specifically tuned to Iommi's signature sound and playing style. This SG Special is not only a visual highlight, but also ideal for hard rock and metal guitarists in terms of sound and function. It is supplied in a robust hard case including the famous "Monkey" sticker that adorns Tony's own guitar - an absolutely unique collector's item and a must for every fan of the metal pioneer.

Epiphone: Tradition and quality for modern rock and metal guitarists

Epiphone has long been known for its high-quality reproductions of the famous Gibson models and, with the Tony Iommi SG Special, offers a guitar that perfectly captures the unmistakable style and sound of the metal legend. The combination of traditional construction and modern, specially tuned components makes this SG a unique instrument that is ideal for metal, rock and heavy blues sounds. In collaboration with Tony Iommi, Epiphone has created a guitar that is in no way inferior to the legendary original in terms of sound and appearance, while at the same time offering a high playing quality for today's musicians.

Solid mahogany body and comfortable mahogany neck

The Epiphone Tony Iommi SG Special consists of a two-piece mahogany body, which is known for its warm, voluminous tone colors and provides a solid foundation for powerful riffs and full chords. The mahogany wood gives the guitar a deep resonance and excellent sustain quality, which is particularly essential for Iommi's typical dark metal sound.

The glued-in mahogany neck with a "Rounded Iommi C" profile is specially adapted to Tony Iommi's playing style and offers comfortable playability. With a scale length of 628.65 mm (24.75 inches) and a 12-inch fretboard radius, the neck enables fluid chord changes and clean bending, which is particularly useful for hard, fast riffs and solos. The Indian Laurel fingerboard is bound with a cream-colored binding, which improves the playing feel and gives the guitar a classy look.

Epiphone PRO P-90 pickup for powerful, authentic rock sound

The Tony Iommi SG Special is equipped with two Epiphone PRO P-90 pickups, which have been specially developed to recreate Iommi's characteristic sound. The PRO P-90s offer a powerful, open tone that is perfect for loud, distorted sounds and punchy riffs. The warm, overtone-rich sound of these pickups makes the SG Special an ideal choice for metal and rock guitarists looking for a dynamic sound that cuts through the mix with ease.

The guitar is equipped with CTS potentiometers for precise control of volume and tone, and the two Orange Drop capacitors provide warm, precise tone shaping. The two volume and tone controls allow you to customize and refine the sound, while the 3-way Switchcraft switch allows you to choose between different pickup combinations - ideal for flexible sounds and expressive performances.

High-quality hardware and sturdy design

The Epiphone Tony Iommi SG Special is equipped with reliable and durable hardware that remains dependable even during intense performances. The Grover Rotomatic tuners with modern, stylish knobs ensure stable tuning and make tuning quick and easy. The wraparound bridge is customizable and ensures optimal intonation and excellent resonance transmission, which further improves the playing quality and sound.

The five-ply "Monkey SG" pickguard, which is finished in classic black and white, and the iconic gloss red finish round off the design of this guitar. The nickel hardware gives the instrument a sophisticated look which, together with the classic SG lines, brings the iconic design of the 1964 Gibson SG into the present day.

Includes high-quality case and monkey sticker

Epiphone delivers the Tony Iommi SG Special in a robust hard case that offers optimum protection for the instrument - ideal for traveling and safe transport to gigs and rehearsals. In addition, a reproduction of Tony Iommi's legendary "Monkey" sticker is included, which faithfully reflects the original design and makes the guitar a unique collector's item.
