BLACK SABBATH Guitarist's New Straps Unveiled

June 26, 2013

BLACK SABBATH guitarist Tony Iommi has hired Rachael at Heavy Leather NYC to make his new guitar straps, which were designed by Shirts & Destroy. He say: "The guitars I use are pretty heavy and it makes a huge difference when you're playing a long show to have a comfortable strap. That they also look great is a real bonus!"

Iommi recently donated his used guitar strings to Wear Your Music, an organization that turns used guitar strings into jewelry. All profits made from the sale of Tony's guitar strings will go to the Nordoff-Robbins charity.

Iommi is frequently referred to as the inventor of heavy metal with his trademark riffs. Having sliced off the ends of three fingers in a factory accident when first starting out, Tony switched to very light gauge strings. These make his bracelets especially unique.
