Similarity
citedBlended 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.

Description

The Ibanez THBB10 is Tim Henson's AZ series signature electric guitar, introduced in 2019. The guitar features an American basswood body bolted to a one-piece roasted maple neck with roasted maple fingerboard and 24 stainless steel frets. The 25.5 inch scale length and 42mm nut width accommodate modern technique and provide excellent sustain. Custom DiMarzio Notorious pickups in HSS configuration deliver a mini-humbucker bridge for output and articulation, with single-coils in the neck and middle positions for tonal flexibility. The heat-treated maple construction provides well-balanced attack, rich sustain, and hyper-defined mids ideal for both clean and overdriven contexts. The T1502 synchronized tremolo enables responsive pitch manipulation.

The Jaydee Old Boy SG is a legendary custom guitar handcrafted for Tony Iommi by John Diggins between 1975 and 1978 in Birmingham, England. The instrument features a one-piece mahogany body and neck with a 24-fret ebony fingerboard adorned with polished aluminum crucifix inlays and a zero fret with carbon graphite nut. The guitar is equipped with two custom hand-wound Jaydee pickups delivering absolutely massive, huge, articulate, full and crisp tone. The five control knobs and pickup selector switch provide flexible tonal control, though only three knobs are active with the bridge tone disconnected. Sperzel locking tuners and Schaller combination bridge ensure tuning stability and responsive feel.
