"Every time it's brought up, it stirs conversation among the locals": Noel Gallagher's secret Oasis Les Paul guitar appears to be heading for a special edition release
Noel Gallagher's Gibson Les Paul Signature Guitar Set for Exclusive Release
Rock and roll legend Noel Gallagher's iconic Gibson Les Paul guitar is set to become available for purchase, with a limited, UK-exclusive release scheduled for August 21, 2025, at the Gibson Garage London.
Lee Bartram, Head of Commercial, Marketing & Cultural Influence at Gibson, revealed the backstory of Noel Gallagher's Gibson Les Paul during a recent interview. The model is based on the black custom-built 1960 Les Paul Standard that Gallagher has been playing during Oasis's reunion shows.
The guitar features nickel-covered P-90 pickups, a SlimTaper neck profile, and underwent Murphy Lab relic work to give it an aged and weathered appearance. The guitar Gallagher is signing for the release doesn't appear to be as heavily aged as the one he's been using in UK stadiums, suggesting a signature guitar release is imminent.
Fans are excited about the possibility of owning a piece of Gallagher's history, with speculation that the guitar may be released as an ultra-exclusive Murphy Lab drop. The Instagram post featuring Gallagher signing the back of a black, aged Les Paul, with the caption "Available at the Gibson Garage London, 21 August 2025." further fuels the anticipation.
Interestingly, the guitar Gallagher is currently using in UK stadiums might not be the same as the one he signed for potential release at the Gibson Garage London. This suggests that the guitar being released could be a limited replica or exclusive edition rather than a traditional widespread signature model.
It's worth noting that this release resembles previous Gibson limited drops that celebrate iconic guitars with small production numbers, similar to what Gibson did for Johnny Marr. No official details about mass production or availability beyond this exclusive event have been announced as of early August 2025.
In a recent interview, Gallagher also revealed what's currently on his pedalboard, further hinting at the guitar's potential sound and performance. With Gallagher embracing guitar solos on the latest run of shows with Oasis, fans are eagerly awaiting the release of this exclusive Gibson Les Paul guitar.
