John Birch Iommi SGS!

Just a couple quick riffs with the my new John Birch Iommi SGS through the TI100

[@SJ-ty5rw]

I've always been surprised the John Birch isn't Tony's favorite guitar . It sounds great .. and is so much nicer looking than the old Jaydee that's his #1 .

[@antonioangeconeb3196]

Beautiful instrument, This is my favourite Iommi Sg. His red monkey SG comes in at a close second and thirdly his BC rich iron bird. Nice video and a playing 👌

[@remembertheblacksabbath]

Thank you brother, much appreciated!!! I’ve got a John Birch monkey and a JayDee Old Boy standard being built as we speak! 😁🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@mikekeeler6362]

Yes but it's not a true Gibson it's a John Birch custom

[@mikekeeler6362]

​@@remembertheblacksabbathTony's best guitar is his JD John Diggins custom old boy

[@mikekeeler6362]

John Birch once said that Gibson couldn't make the guitars that he made

[@remembertheblacksabbath]

I know, I have one.😂🤘🏻

[@orokusaki8291]

Sounds great man! Really has that Dio era tone 🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@remembertheblacksabbath]

Absolutely! And the bridge was all out of whack! I had to adjust all the saddles and level the tremolo. It was bottomed out with too much spring tension. Got a nice radius and string break angle while still keeping the action low so the intonation was perfect! Now I gotta fire it back up and see what she’s really made of!😁🤘🏻

Nice sg! I use regular and off the knobs so I could play it (savely) lefty.

[@OldGuitarMan]

That’s a beautiful guitar. I want one 😄. Is that a Kahler locking tremolo or their own design? Or something else?

[@remembertheblacksabbath]

I tell you what bro, this is a shelf fiddle!!! It is heavy like my Barbarian! Definitely heavier than the Gibson or the Epiphone. And it’s nice and balanced, no neck dive! Yep it’s a Kahler 2200 locking tremolo. When I ordered it they (Kahler) sent me a right handed trem arm so I just got it back with the guitar and sent it back to swap out for a lefty. You wouldn’t be disappointed if you really do want one! It’s got stainless steel frets and an awesome fretboard! You can bend the strings and apply vibrato with minimal effort, the strings ride on the frets smooth as silk! Better than any of the other guitars that I have! Stainless steel frets are the way to go!!! He’ll build ya one, it just won’t have John Birch on the headstock because Jaydee bought John Birch. Or you can wait on Jaydee to start building the John Birch’s but who knows when that’ll be. Let me know if you want one and I’ll send ya Laz’s email. 😁🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@remembertheblacksabbath]

Top shelf……

[@OldGuitarMan]

@@remembertheblacksabbath Nice! I’ve never played SS frets. Sucks you had to send it back for the trem - it’s that bias the world has against lefties! 😄 I’ll send you a message about the other stuff.

Hi. Whats the brand of your Pickups? Thanks

[@remembertheblacksabbath]

John Birch Magnum R in the bridge. John Birch Hyperflux R in the neck. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@liys540]

how would you compare this guitar with jaydee old boy ?

[@remembertheblacksabbath]

I don’t have the Old Boy yet, but when I get mine around May of next year, I’ll definitely let you know!😁🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@mikekeeler6362]

@@remembertheblacksabbath isn't that just the name that Tony Iommi gave his guitar kind of like BB King's Lucille Tony called it old boy I don't think John Diggins actually made an old boy guitar I think that was named Tony gave it

[@remembertheblacksabbath]

@mikekeeler6362 the guitars JayDee build that bear Tony’s name are referred to as Old Boys. If you go to their website they are listed as Old Boy Standards. They offered Old Boy relics up until last year. They stopped offering the relics as it became too difficult to source the proper parts for authentic builds. The serial number is OB for Old Boy. My black one is OB 266.
