Signature guitar influenced by Tony Iommi's legendary Monkey SG.
The Epiphone Tony Iommi SG Special Vintage Cherry is based on the heavily modified '64 SG of the Birmingham metal titan, which as the "Monkey SG" defined the sound of the first Black Sabbath albums and is inextricably linked to the birth of heavy metal. The electric guitar, wrapped in classic Cherry Red, comes naturally in tradition-conscious solid mahogany construction and offers excellent playing characteristics with the not too powerful "Rounded Iommi C" profile. Two Epiphone PRO P-90 single-coil pickups with chrome caps elicit a surprisingly rich overdrive, perfect for forging gritty heavy metal riffs. An Adjustable Wraparound Bridge and precise Grover tuners complete the features of the Tony Iommi SG Special Vintage Cherry Signature guitar from Epiphone. Of course, in addition to the sturdy guitar case, a faithful reproduction of the legendary Monkey sticker is included with the guitar.
The Epiphone Tony Iommi SG Special Vintage Cherry was inspired by the legendary '64 "Monkey SG" and convinces with the authentic Black Sabbath sound.
The two-piece mahogany body and the comfortable "Iommi Rounded C" mahogany neck are glued together.
Classically built SG Special
A faithful reproduction of a 1964 SG Special, the Epiphone Tony Iommi Signature naturally comes in traditional set-neck construction with a two-piece mahogany body and glued mahogany neck that lays the foundation for a powerful sound. The not too beefy "Rounded Iommi C" neck profile with 43 mm nut width also promises buttery smooth playing characteristics up to the highest registers of the Indian Laurel fingerboard trimmed with cream-colored Binding.
Epiphone PRO P-90 single coils with chrome caps and the classic passive electrics provide the authentic Iommi sound on the guitar amp.
Epiphone PRO P-90 pickups
The electrical sound transformation of the Tony Iommi SG Special is handled by two Epiphone PRO P-90 single coil pickups, matching the original Monkey SG with chrome caps and black frames. At the guitar amplifier, the powerful single coils convince both in the drive and clean channel with a full sound, whose broadly positioned midrange spectrum also helps lower tunings to an enormous assertiveness and sound power. For control over the pickup is also the traditional 3-way circuit with its own volume and tone controls for each pickup.
Grover Rotomatic tuners with modern designed wings keep the Epiphone Tony Iommi SG Special securely in the correct tuning.
Classic hardware features
Of course, Epiphone completes the Tony Iommi SG Special Vintage Cherry with reliable hardware inspired by the Godfather or Heavy Metal's original SG. On the body, an Adjustable Wraparound Bridge holds the strings, with six independently adjustable tailpieces ensuring accurate intonation and comfortable string placement. On the classic Kalamazoo-style headstock, a GraphTech nut and Grover Rotomatic tuners also ensure accurate and robust tuning of the Signature guitar.
