Description
The Gibson Tony Iommi Signature Humbucker in Chrome is a modern recreation of Gibson's first-ever artist signature pickup, originally built in collaboration with the legendary Black Sabbath guitarist himself. Designed for players chasing that high-output, full-shred sound with clarity under gain, it's ideal for metal, hard rock, and any style that demands aggressive tone with tight definition. Whether you're dropping it into a Les Paul, SG, or something custom, this pickup brings a ton of character with it.
What makes it unique is the magnet blend, ceramic for punch and attack, paired with Alnico 2 for warmth and sustain. The result is a voice that stays clear even with heavy distortion, with loads of midrange presence and articulation. It's fully wax-potted and epoxy-sealed to reject unwanted feedback, making it a great fit for high-volume live use or tightly gained studio sessions. The 4-conductor wiring gives you options too, split coil, series, or parallel configurations are all on the table for expanded tonal versatility.
We like that this pickup doesn't just recreate Tony's sound, it offers a reliable, performance-ready option for any player needing power and precision. If you're looking for tight lows, harmonically rich highs, and the ability to cut through a dense mix, the Tony Iommi Signature Humbucker is more than up to the task.
