Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.46% — somewhat different

The Gibson SG began in 1961 as a redesigned Les Paul: a thin, flat slab of mahogany with deep double cutaways and no maple cap, roughly half the weight of the guitar it replaced. Removing the maple and the body mass shifts the voice toward the upper midrange with a faster, more aggressive attack, and the deep cutaways leave the entire 22-fret neck reachable.
Gibson Tony Iommi SG Special signature model featuring chrome-covered P-90 pickups, mahogany body and rounded-profile neck, medium jumbo frets, and hand-wired electronics with Orange Drop capacitors. The Iommi SG delivers super resonant, punchy P-90 tone with the warmth and clarity of vintage design.
