TONY IOMMI's Epiphone Guitar Gets Glowing Review

March 8, 2005

The March issue of U.K.'s Total Guitar magazine features a glowing review of the Epiphone Tony Iommi G-400 guitar, complete with a five-star rating. The magazine describes it as "probably the best Epiphone electric we’ve ever tried. The quality of finish is top class and the guitar has all the classic elements that we’ve come to expect from the SG."

The review details all of the specs of the guitar, which includes the Tony Iommi Gibson signature humbucker, and suggests that Epiphone has "just released its greatest rock guitar yet." With a price tag of £595, it says "now that's what we call value for money, and no doubt great news for BLACK SABBATH fans on a budget."

The piece concludes by saying "it's true we have fallen for this wonderful guitar. TG has always had a soft spot for the SG anyway, but the Tony Iommi version ticks all of our boxes. And the best part is that now there's a left-handed version available — which only seems appropriate since Tony is left-handed — everyone can get a piece of the action. Of course, we’d all love to get our hands on the £4,000 custom shop Gibson Iommi model, but this Epiphone will keep us well happy until then. You really have to try this superb guitar for yourself. It's a little devil."
