In this video, we’re taking a deep dive into one of the rarest guitars Gibson has ever produced: the early 2000s Gibson Custom Shop Tony Iommi Signature SG. With only around 250 ever made, this thing is the holy grail for doom and Sabbath fans alike.
I’ll walk you through exactly how I tracked down this insanely rare $20,000 piece of metal history, break down the specs that make it so unique—including the 24-fret ebony fingerboard with sterling silver cross inlays, Tony’s signature high-output humbuckers, and all the Custom Shop touches—and of course, you’ll get to hear how it sounds in a proper doom rig.
This is the very model Iommi used throughout the Sabbath reunion era from Reunion through Heaven and Hell, and the tone is as massive as you'd expect. Whether you're into Sabbath, tone history, or just rare guitars, this one’s worth sticking around for.
