Lefty SG With Real Iommi DNA And P-90 Fury
Tony Iommi pretty much wrote the rulebook on heavy riffs, and this Epiphone Tony Iommi SG Special Lefty drops that vibe straight into your hands without the vintage price tag. Two piece mahogany, PRO P-90s, and upgraded guts give you that thick, snarling grind that still stays articulate when the gain gets stupid.
Built For Heavy Riffs, Designed For Lefties
This is not some generic lefty SG. It is a purpose built, Tony-approved layout for players who lead with their right brain and their left hand. The classic SG shape keeps the weight way down, and at 6.2 lbs this thing feels almost effortless on a strap but still has enough mass to sing and sustain.
The Vintage Cherry finish nails that old school Sabbath look on stage and under lights. It is the kind of guitar that makes you want to hit a low power chord and just let it hang there until the room rattles.
Mahogany Body, Vintage Cherry Finish, Singing Sustain
The two piece solid mahogany body is the heart of this guitar’s voice. Mahogany gives you that warm, mid rich roar that thickens up fuzz pedals, tightens down-tuned riffs, and keeps leads from getting thin or shrill.
Real talk, there is a reason so many iconic heavy records were cut on mahogany SG style guitars. They respond dynamically when you dig in, bloom on held notes, and keep chords clear even when the amp is pushed hard.
Rounded Iommi C Neck That Feels Instantly Familiar
The one piece mahogany neck with the Rounded Iommi C profile hits that sweet spot between chunky and fast. It fills your hand enough for secure bends and vibrato, but it never feels like you are fighting it during fast runs or wide stretches.
The cream binding cleans up the feel along the edges and gives it that classy, old school look. Indian laurel under your fingers feels smooth and broken in, while the GraphTech nut and Grover Rotomatic tuners keep things rock solid when you lean on the vibrato or drop the tuning down for heavier material.
PRO P-90 Power With Upgraded Electronics
The chrome covered Epiphone PRO P-90 pickups are the secret sauce. They have that raw, mid forward grind P-90s are famous for, with enough top end cut to keep thick riffs from turning to mud. Roll the volume back and they clean up into glassy, percussive tones that still punch through a dense mix.
CTS potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors are the kind of upgrades builders usually keep for higher dollar builds. Here, they give you a smooth, usable sweep on every knob. The 2 volume, 2 tone layout lets you fine tune each pickup so you can go from dark and menacing to bright and biting with a quick flip of the switch.
Case, Monkey Sticker, And A Moore Guitars Setup
You get an Epiphone hardshell case right out of the gate, plus a static cling reproduction of Tony’s legendary “Monkey” sticker to complete the look. And yes, the photos you see are of the actual guitar that will show up at your door.
