Noel Gallagher debuted a P-90-equipped Gibson Les Paul at first Oasis comeback gig – here’s everything we know
The first Oasis Live ‘25 gig kicked off in Cardiff on 4 July, and Noel Gallagher was spotted with a new Gibson Les Paul in hand.
The reunion tour marks the first time both Noel and Liam Gallagher have played together since Oasis called it quits back in 2009 following a falling out between the two brothers backstage at a gig. The tour continues on throughout the year and wraps in November in Brazil.

With their return so highly anticipated, all eyes were on Cardiff at the weekend, and some may have spotted Noel’s new Les Paul as it made several appearances across the night. The guitar has a Murphy Lab aged body, aged hardware, and P-90 pickups. It’s complete with Les Paul Custom-style binding, but a non-bound headstock.
The guitar made an appearance for the first song of the night, Hello, and appeared regularly throughout the rest of their set among other axes including a Cherry Sunburst Les Paul Standard, and his beloved ES-335.
Lee Bartram, Head of Marketing & Cultural Influence EMEA at Gibson, has shared a close up of the new model to his Instagram page – you can check it out below:

Other guitars from the opening night worth spotlighting are also Gem Archer’s Trini Lopez’s. Two of them appeared to be used across the evening (as documented by The Chief’s Guitars), one in black and a second red version. Archer’s black Trini Lopez is a recent Gibson Custom Shop reissue, equipped with a Bigsby B-7.
In other Oasis news, Gene Gallagher, son of Liam and frontman of indie band Villanelle, recently shared his opinions on guitar music, noting that a resurgence could be credited to the Britpop bunch’s comeback: “People have been deprived of guitar music,” he told W Magazine. “But now it’s coming back, and everyone’s getting excited about it.”
