Epiphone SG Tony Iommi Signature G-400 - Ebony, 2006 - used

Here we have a rare collector’s Epiphone from 2006, made in Korea – FIRST SERIES 2006! The Tony Iommi Signature G-400 special model clearly follows one theme: All Black – back to Black Sabbath.

Here is the original text from the Epiphone catalog:

“Authorized by Gibson USA. Legendary Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi put his name and endorsement on this savage axe based on the classic 1962 Gibson SG. All the bite, tone and playing comfort you need, featuring 24-fret Slim-Taper neck, Gibson USA Tony Iommi Humbuckers and Tony's distinctive ‘cross’ inlays! Finished in Ebony and Black Chrome.”

And yes: this thing rocks – seriously. Equipped with Gibson USA Tony Iommi Humbuckers, the distinctive MOP cross inlays in the fretboard, and the all-black look, it makes a very clear statement visually. Tonally, it delivers exactly what you would expect from this model as well: punch, bite, and a massive rock sound.

The 24-fret SlimTaper neck feels comfortable in the hand and makes the guitar very playable despite its uncompromising appearance.

The condition is very good. It shows normal signs of use and a few light, superficial scratches in the finish, more likely from cleaning than from heavy playing. We deliberately kept the guitar completely original. The factory fretwork is decent and shows only very minor signs of wear, so we did not work on the frets.

It is almost too nice for the stage and certainly interesting for collectors – but quite frankly: it wants to rock.
