If you’re dreaming of recreating the iconic Britpop sound of Oasis, this new collaboration between Gibson, Epiphone and members of the cult band is going to give you goosebumps. Three signature models have just been unveiled, each paying tribute to a pillar of the Oasis sound: Noel Gallagher, Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs and Gem Archer. Three guitars, three legends, three distinct characters that embody the power and finesse of ’90s British rock.
The perfect fusion of heritage and modernity
Oasis didn’t just define a generation with its anthems — Wonderwall, Don’t Look Back in Anger, Supersonic — it also forged an unmistakable guitar sound. Behind that wall of sound stood a trio: Bonehead, Noel and Gem.
In 2025, Gibson and Epiphone pay tribute to that alchemy with a triptych of instruments that faithfully recreate the band’s guitars on stage and in the studio, while benefiting from modern construction and top-tier components.
A Knebworth legend, finally within reachPaul "Bonehead" Arthurs, Oasis co-founder, forged the band’s massive, hypnotic sound with a 1982 Epiphone Riviera. From Definitely Maybe to Morning Glory, this guitar rings out on the band’s biggest hits.
Today, Epiphone recreates that mythical model down to the last detail with the Riviera Signature Bonehead Dark Tobacco Sunburst – a fiery ode to the raw energy of Manchester rock.
- 5-ply laminated maple body with a solid maple centre block: exceptional stability and sustain.
- 3-piece maple neck with SlimTaper C profile, ideal for fluid, powerful playing.
- Rosewood fingerboard with pearloid parallelogram inlays.
- Two Alnico Classic PRO pickups for warm, balanced, punchy tones.
- Nickel hardware and Graph Tech nut for improved tuning stability.
- Supplied with an Epiphone hard case.
Thanks to the Alnico 📌Classic PRO pickups, the Riviera Bonehead delivers that organic grain and thick wall of sound that defines the early Oasis albums. Every chord sounds huge; every riff hits hard.
The nickname Bonehead was Noel Gallagher’s affectionate moniker for Paul Arthurs. His direct, rhythmic style is the key to the Oasis groove: often underrated, yet essential.
A triumphant live-ready comebackAfter more than two decades, Noel Gallagher reunites with Gibson for an exceptional collaboration: the Les Paul Standard Signature Ebony, built for his Live ’25 tour. This model embodies everything that makes British rock noble: power, elegance and attitude.
Inspired by the Les Paul he used in the Oasis heyday, this guitar blends vintage soul with the modern precision of a professional instrument.
The Oasis sound, down to the finest detail
The chrome Gibson P-90 pickups deliver a sharp, biting attack, with authoritative mids and organic saturation. Perfect for nailing the texture of riffs from Morning Glory or Cigarettes & Alcohol, and equally appealing to Britpop fans as well as rock and blues players.
- Design and comfort: Noel’s idea of elegance
- Ebony high-gloss finish: understated, sleek, timeless.
- SlimTaper neck for a fast, fluid feel.
- Rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium-jumbo frets.
- Chrome hardware: ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminium Stop Bar tailpiece.
- Grover Rotomatic tuners for rock-solid tuning.
- Hand-wired electronics with Orange Drop capacitors – a hallmark of quality.
- Supplied with a Gibson stamped hard case.
- A true collector’s piece.
Every guitar bears Noel Gallagher’s signature on the back of the headstock – proof of authenticity. Produced in limited numbers for discerning players and passionate collectors alike.
P-90 pickups are the secret behind the Oasis tone: sitting between humbucker warmth and single-coil sparkle, they offer the unmistakable “rugged yet refined” character of Noel’s style.
Refinement in the service of rockGem Archer, a guitarist with a refined, expressive touch, joined Oasis in the late ’90s, then Beady Eye and the High Flying Birds. His favourite guitar? An Epiphone Sheraton, a gift from Noel.
The Sheraton Masterbilt Signature Gem Archer Cherry Red honours that cult model with a deep red finish and exceptional fit and finish.
- Premium build
- 5-ply maple/poplar semi-hollow body with a central maple block.
- One-piece mahogany neck, 60s C profile.
- Rosewood fingerboard, 22 frets and mother-of-pearl/abalone inlays.
- Gold hardware, Grover Rotomatic tuners, ABR-1 bridge and raised trapeze tailpiece.
- Two Gibson USA Mini Humbuckers for a warm, precise, well-defined sound.
- CTS/Mallory electronics for professional reliability.
- Supplied with an Epiphone hard case.
- The perfect balance between vintage and modern.
This Sheraton’s tone is strikingly clear – ideal for arpeggios and rich harmonic textures. The Mini-Humbuckers add just the right sparkle while retaining a quintessentially round Epiphone character.
📌Tip 💡: The Sheraton is the Casino’s “big sister”: more luxurious, sturdier and better suited to higher stage volumes thanks to the central anti-feedback block.
