The guitarist has a passion for Les Pauls.
The Q Awards event is happening this week, and to celebrate the iconic Gibson Les Paul award, the magazine spoke with 2015 winner Tony Iommi.
In the interview, the guitarist mentions that he would play with a Les Paul if he hadn't injured his finger.
“As a child I started playing with a Fender, but at the beginning of the Black Sabbath recordings I picked up the Gibson SG and never looked back. I used it because it has a fuller sound. But I would have played with the Les Paul if I hadn't hurt my finger. With the Gibson SG I can do things I can't do on the Les Paul, but I've always had a fascination with it. (…) I really tried using the Les Paul because I really like it, but it's not the right guitar for me.”
