The Epiphone Tony Iommi SG Special was introduced in late 2022, and is based on the 2021 Gibson Tony Iommi Monkey SG replica. Like the Epiphone 1961 SG Les Paul Standard, this model gets rid of the veneer of African Mahogany found on the front and back of other Epiphone SG models, and instead features a bookmatched 2-piece body.
Includes static-cling reproduction monkey sticker and hardshell case.
