GibsonTony Iommi Signature Humbucker Pickup Chrome
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Designed around Tony Iommi’s Black Sabbath sound, this chrome Gibson humbucker combines ceramic and Alnico 2 magnets with special windings and 16k resistance. Wax potting and epoxy are used to reduce feedback and unwanted noise when playing loudly with heavy distortion. Its four-wire lead supports coil-split, series, and parallel wiring options. Install it in either bridge or neck position when you want a high-output pickup with configurable wiring.
