"This pickup came about after a lot of time spent in Nashville, just experimenting with different setups to get that perfect tone and sustain from my favorite guitars. We had to make sure it worked with my light gauge strings and low tunings, but still pack a punch, and the result has got some serious output. They're on my signature guitars too, and I couldn't be more pleased with how they turned out."
"I'd personally installed these on one of my Gibson guitars 15 years ago, and I was blown away with the distinct Tony Iommi and Black Sabbath sound I was able to get out of them. They have such a great, clean look with the unique pickup cover, and we are excited to bring the Rifflord's signature humbucker back as we continue to pay tribute to Tony."
Gibson and Tony Iommi have reintroduced the Tony Iommi Signature Humbucker, originally created in the late 1990s and now available again for $229. The pickup combines powerful ceramic and Alnico 2 magnets with unique windings to deliver the tone and sustain associated with Iommi's Black Sabbath sound. The unit is fully wax-potted and epoxied to reduce feedback and maintain clarity at high distortion. Four-conductor wiring enables series, parallel, and split-coil configurations. The design accommodates light gauge strings and low tunings, offers high output, appears on Iommi signature guitars, and is sold via Gibson's website and Reverb.
