Gibson Custom Shop Tony Iommi Signature SG 2001 Wine Red

Rare 2000s Gibson Custom Shop Tony Iommi SG Signature – #235 of 250 Worldwide

This is a true collector’s gem—an early 2000s Gibson Custom Shop Tony Iommi SG Signature model, an incredibly rare piece limited to only 250 units worldwide. This particular guitar is number 235, and finding one of these in the wild is nearly impossible.

As the legendary guitarist and founding member of Black Sabbath, Tony Iommi’s impact on heavy metal is immeasurable. His signature guitar, built to his exact specifications, reflects his high-powered playing style and signature tone. The instrument features the iconic ultra-thin double cutaway 1961 Les Paul SG body style, paired with a “slim taper” neck for supreme comfort and speed. The 24-fret ebony fingerboard is adorned with stunning sterling-silver inlays, echoing Iommi’s trademark cross insignia—an unmistakable touch. The dual humbucker pickups, custom-designed for Iommi, deliver the massive, ferocious tone synonymous with Black Sabbath's sound, capturing the raw power of his riffs.

This particular example is in good condition, showing signs of its use both on stage and in the studio. It bears light pick scratches visible under certain lighting, some minor dings, and light wear on the headstock and back. The binding on the neck has cracked in a few spots, but this does not affect the playability or overall feel of the guitar in any way. The frets show little to no wear, and the guitar plays effortlessly with low action and a smooth, slinky feel. The tone is simply massive—just as you would expect from a Tony Iommi Signature model.

While the guitar is clearly meant to be played, it is a rare and special instrument, with significant collectible value. A true piece of heavy metal history, it’s an exceptional find for any serious player or collector.

The guitar comes with the original Gibson Custom Shop hard case, though the large Certificate of Authenticity (COA) paper has unfortunately been lost.

Don't miss your chance to own this iconic and rare piece of musical history.
