No. But he is missing the tips of the fingers on his right hand; he
lost them in an accident at the sheet metal factory where he worked when he
was nineteen and the group that would eventually morph into Black Sabbath
was still in its infancy. He has always used slackened strings on his Gibson
SG to make it more comfortable for him to play with his maimed fingers, and
that has a lot to do with producing his distinctive sound.
