Think of SG players and there’s a good chance that Tony ‘The Inventor Of Metal’ Iommi will spring to mind. We profiled Gibson’s Custom Shop recreation of Uncle Tone’s 1964 Gibson ‘Monkey’ SG last year in issue 456, but in the anniversary year of Gibson’s most unflappable mainstay comes the USA version. The Tony Iommi SG Special is based on the Monkey, coming in left- and right-handed versions. You get the classic all-mahogany body/neck and Indian rosewood fingerboard, a pair of chrome-covered P-90s, Graph Tech nut, Grover Rotomatic tuners, and of course, a replicated Monkey sticker (application optional). The whole lot comes in a custom case, and it’s available now. www.gibson.com
