Gibson has relaunched its first ever signature pickup – the Tony Iommi humbucker: $229.00 for ONE PICKUP

Wire and magnets…and Iommi never used this pickup. Dumb

He used them on stage for 20 years.

The ones in his Epiphone SG are also made in USA with the same specs. You can get them much cheaper. I got one for my Gibson SG and it's great.

Apologies, I misspoke—Iommi never used this pickup for anything anyone cares about. I, and most other people, don’t care what TI had loaded in his guitars in the 2010s.

Well, you should. He's a rare artist who's tone improved over the years.

I have these in an SG tuned to C#. They sound great and are very quiet under high gain.

That has fat rails on it just like the Lollar DB. I have the Lollar, the thing is like hitting a hammer against an anvil when you pick the notes. Incredible pickup and yes, very heavy also.

It's Iommi, of course it has fat rails (get it? )
