Gibson Tony Iommi Monkey SG Special Electric Guitar Left Handed Vintage Cherry

Product Information

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. Now Gibson USA has made a guitar based on the iconic original that launched countless heavy riffs, with a mahogany body, bound mahogany neck with a rounded profile, Indian rosewood fretboard with 22 frets, a Graph Tech® nut, Grover® Rotomatic® tuners with contemporary style buttons, and chrome-covered P-90 pickups. A reproduction of Tony\'s \"Monkey\" sticker is included in the case, along with two longer intonation adjustment screws in case you need additional adjustment range. A right-handed version is also available.

P-90 Single Coil Pickup

Legendary Tone

First introduced in the early 1950s, Gibson\'s legendary P90 single coil pickup produced a raw powerful tone that helped define the blues and rock and roll in their formative years. Today, the P90\'s traditional combination of high output and brilliant tone is still considered a favorite among many top musicians. Known by such familiar nicknames as the \"Soapbar\" and the \"Cobalt,\" the P90 still cuts through any type of music, all while displaying amazing tonal sensitivity for everything from blues and rock to mellow jazz riffs. It\'s perfect as a vintage replacement, and features vintage, braided two-conductor wiring. It\'s also fully wax potted to eliminate any chance of unwanted microphonic feedback.
