TONY IOMMI - Former GRIM REAPER Guitarist NICK BOWCOTT Demos BLACK SABBATH Legend's Gibson SG Special Model; Video

Tony Iommi receives near-universal recognition as the father of heavy metal. The Gibson Tony Iommi SG Special is a true-to-life re-creation of his prized “Monkey“ SG Special - the axe that produced the sinister proto-metal riffage on Black Sabbath‘s early albums.

This solidbody electric guitar is built around a resonant mahogany body, with a rosewood-capped mahogany neck that‘s ultra-easy on your fingertips or lack thereof. Just like the guitar that inspired it, the Iommi SG Special comes loaded with chrome-covered P-90 pickups that deliver enough high-output, single-coil bite to drive you insane.

In the new video below, Sweetwater’s Nick Bowcott (former Grim Reaper guitarist) demos the SG Special:
