“The most talked-about guitar of the summer”: Noel Gallagher’s Oasis reunion Gibson Les Paul is getting a limited-run release – here’s how you can get one
Since Oasis kicked off what was probably the most highly anticipated reunion tour of all time, guitarists have been going wild for the P-90-loaded Gibson Les Paul debuted by Noel Gallagher at the first show in Cardiff on 4 July.
So it should come as no surprise that that guitar is now getting a limited-run release. And when we say limited, we mean ultra-limited: only 25 units will be available via the Gibson Garage London.

Curated by both Gibson and Noel Gallagher, the Gibson Custom Noel Gallagher Les Paul Standard is described as a “truly unique, never-before-seen guitar release”.
Since the guitar made its debut in July, fans have been speculating over its spec sheet. So the arrival of the Custom Noel Gallagher Les Paul Standard confirms that it features an Ebony finish – Light Aged by the Murphy Lab at the Gibson Custom Shop – aged nickel Gibson Custom P-90 pickups, Grover tuners, and a SlimTaper neck profile – Noel’s profile of choice.
Additionally, each guitar is hand-signed by Noel Gallagher, and comes with a Gibson Custom hardshell case with bespoke interior and a handmade leather strap by Bear Straps.

Each guitar also comes with a hand-written lyric sheet by Noel Gallagher, which sits in the guitar’s exclusive Certificate of Authenticity booklet. Each sheet – written specially for this project – features a set of lyrics from a different Oasis song. Each guitar and lyric sheet have been paired at random, so while 25 guitars are available, no two packages are the same.
We have no word on pricing, and the Custom Noel Gallagher Les Paul Standard will be available exclusively from the Gibson Garage London – at 61-62 Eastcastle Street, W1W 8NQ – from Thursday, 21 August.
Fans can attend the Gibson Garage for an early opening from 9AM on 21 August, and phone lines open at 11AM. The Gibson Garage is contactable on 0800 058 4720, or if you’re located outside the UK, +44 20 4570 5400.
“I think it’s safe to say it has become the talk of the town every time it is used,” said Lee Bartram, Head of Commercial, Marketing and Cultural Influence at Gibson. “I’ve had so many people reach out wanting to know what it is and if we can build one for them.”
