Mr Iommi's NEW SG

oh wow! that looks freaking sweet!!! roolin:

 

cool!

but whats with the covered tailposts?

 

Meh, the pickguard doesn't match the body, the knobs are ugly, and vintage white doesn't go with chrome too well.

Other than that..ehh..it's an SG

 

Actually I really like the look of the white pickguard on the creme color, same goes with the chrome. I agree it dosn't match but I really like the look of it myself. Had no idea that Iommi is using a floyd rose now though.

 

I saw him playing "Mob Rules" on that Monday night. :)

finally a floyd on an SG again since the 80's i think the SG double i think were called not sure.but the point is i love floyds especially on gibsons

 

Someone had the comment here or maybe in another forum "putting a Floyd on an SG is like raping a nun. Sure you can do it but you will go to hell for it." That may be a little extreme but I'll save the Floyds for the Super Strats. I do like the colors though.

 

Codemeister,
They've been making white SG's w/ white pickguards since the 60's.

 

Floyd Rose?
I buy all kinds of different gear, some just for the hell of it.

One lesson I learned is that I will never buy another Floyd Rose.
What a pain in the ass!

If my playing ability warranted it, and my choice of music required it, I suppose I would buy another guitar with a Floyd Rose and learn to get the most of it.

It would NOT be a SG, however. It displeases the Gods, kinda like the nun comment.

They've been making Volkswagens since 1931.


I didn't know mounting a Floyd on an SG was physically possible. Do they mount it the same way as any other guitar?

 

yea, the floyd is mounted exactly the same as on a regular strat.
i have a SG-90 with factory fitted schaller floyd, but its routed to only be able to pull 1/2 step up.

i also wouldnt mind a string-thru SG-90, waiting for one to pop up near me.
btw, the SG-90s has the 60s slim taper neck.

 

I'm assuming its a Gibson. It looks sweet, SG and Floyd Rose, what could be better ?

The latest SG in his arsenal.
Looks like I got another one to reproduce !

At least it'll be easier to find some pickups for it! I notice also that it has 24 frets (so that rules out a bog-standard SG) and a squared-off top horn (for the strap button). You might have to start this one from scratch Lou.;D

 

i would sure love to see u try it bw

[/quote]im not big on the floyd rose either...

 

That's a great looking guitar. I'd have one if he was to ever sell it to someone of the public for under a tenner.

 

I like it...I always heard that a floyd sounds/works best on a 25.5" scale guitar... but I dunno.
I have a badass gibson v 90 with a factory gibbo floyd...but that guitar is 25.5" scale (and 24 frets)

I have nothing nice to say about that abomination, so I'll say nothing more :-\.
