This is one awesome guitar

I bought this guitar thinking it will be an o.k. addition beside a fender strat and a gibson les paul studio, was I wrong. These guitars are inexpensive but you couldnt tell by the quality,The sound is amazing and the finish is flawless.This guitar is top notch for its price.

For all those searching for the " Iommi Sound " ...the search is over....

6 yrs ago...i bought the original Gibson Tony Iommi SG...it had all the bells and whistles...and for 4000.00 it should....i was so happy with it..but financial things happened and I had to sell it away....as years went by i found myself in a better position to buy another one....but the company stopped making them.... I knew of this Epiphone version..but i automatically blew it off thinking to myself..."the sound is gonna suck...it will be tinny and not compare to my original Iommi Gibson"

Finally realizing that it was either this version or nothing...i took the shot of buying the epiphone Iommi...expecting it to disappoint...but as soon as it arrived and i plugged it in...From the first notes of me playing "Neon Knights"...my heart skipped a beat and I was floored....the sound..the power the fury and growl and tone of Tony Iommi lives in this guitar...
take my word for it..if you are a sabbath and Iommi fanatic like I am...this guitar will make you beyond happy...its got everything my 4000.00 Gibson Iommi had...just minus a few of sterling silver crosses and the Gibson name...but this guitar has Tony all over it...i cant say enough of it...i have to stop typing now..so i can go pick it back up....

attention Sabbath fans....buy this guitar!!!!!!!!!!

Shocked speechless . . .

After some deliberation I had decided that I would find a pair of Dirty Fingers pups and pop into my 76 Gibson SG. The local music store had sold out, so no luck there. So emo kid strutted in with his girlfriend and started checking out a few guitars in the store, including a fairly new Epi Tony Iommi Signature. Didn't listen because after playing for 25 years, touring and recording, there was no way I was going to even touch an Epiphone. Salesguy Tom mentioned that the Iommi signature pups were worth a listen as they were also on the Gibson model. Fine. Plugged in. Sat down. Turned up the gain and strummed a chord. HOLY FOKK!!! This didn't sound like some crap Chinese Epi (although I hear the Prophecy is pretty sick). In fact, it sounded AWESOME. Lots of power. Amazing tone. I couldn't wait to run it through my Hughes and Kettner rig. Which I did 30 minutes later when I arrived home. THe combination produced a brutal modern metal sound that I'm lovin' every day. I play very brutal industrial metal and this is now one of my main axes and a perfect compliment to my other guitars. Korean made, Grover tuners, 24 frets. I swapped out the electronics and the bridge. Except for the body wood, it's practically a Gibson -- without the ridiculous price tag.
