Signature geetars are a mixed bag - when they're good, they're cut and
shaped to exactly the famous dude's demands and is therefore a very
specific guitar and if you play one you're compromising your own basic
technique, and when they're bad, they're just off-the-shelf axes in
'custom' colours - a pile of pants.
Pickups and amps are a different bag however.  I've played the Laney
Tony Iommi model and it completely rocks.  It hasn't got the usual
problems with fizzy high-end that the new valve Laneys have had and it's
got all the crunch and beef you could ever need - and a bee-yewtiful
clean tone.

Who makes the Iommi pickups anyway?

Chris.
