Tony Iommi Custom SG By Jaydee
The SG has been around for forty years or
more. During this period it has undergone a few design changes
that have not always been in its favour. Yet, it has still
become a favourite with many guitarists who have kept the
interest in this instrument alive.
One such musician is Tony Iommi of "Black
Sabbath" I met Tony Iommi in the early 70's while working with
John Birch. Tony had a left handed SG special which had the
most amazing body contours that were so pronounced, I must
admit, I did copy them, and have done ever since. I believe
this is what an SG should look like.
Tony still uses the
one I made in 1975. On my kitchen table at home.
