Gibson SG Tony Iommi Signature Vintage Cherry Left Handed

What we say:

At A Glance:

The Gibson SG Tony Iommi Signature Monkey Vintage Cherry Left Handed is a throwback to Tony's iconic signature SG, "Monkey", the guitar responsible for constructing the Heavy Metal sound we all know and love.

The iconic Gibson SG has been wielded by many guitar greats throughout the years, but few can hold a candle to the legendary Tony Iommi, whose crushing riffs and sound helped create an entire genre.

Gibson has dedicated all their efforts to ensuring that this incredible signature model sounds and looks as good as the original, from the chrome covered P90s to the included. re-production "Monkey" sticker.

Features We Love:

Vintage Look, Crushing Sound

This Signature SG hearkens back to Tony's original 1964, a beautiful vintage looking guitar, but behind that unassuming exterior lies a true Heavy Metal monster. The original 1964 SG named "Monkey" was the instrument behind some of the most iconic riffs of all time, so it's no surprise that Gibson has used the original Monkey as the basis for this design. If it's good enough for the Godfather of Heavy Metal, it's good enough for us.

Modern Design

The original Monkey SG was heavily modified by Tony to make his signature sound possible. Gibson has taken the essence of Tony's, and using modern production techniques and knowledge, have done an incredible job of recreating the feel and sound of the original. The rounded profile of the bound mahogany neck greatly improves the ergonomics, making the riffs flow seamlessly, and with a set of chrome-covered P-90 pickups, you can rest assured that this will sound just as menacing as the original.

Attention to Detail

Gibson has pulled out all the stops with this signature model. Every inch of this model has been carefully considered, with each feature helping to recreate the look and sound of the original 1964 SG. Included in the hard case is even a reproduction of the iconic "Monkey" sticker, the namesake of the original SG. A perfect homage to the guitar that started it all.
