D'you know what I mean?
In commemoration of one of rock 'n' roll's most monumental reunions, Gibson has debuted brand-new Gibson USA and Epiphone signature model guitars for the three guitarists of Britpop's most prolific band, Oasis. The band, returning to the stage in perhaps their most recognizable lineup for the first time in decades, gets a loving tribute from Gibson with all the playability and tone the band has clearly found so crucial during their tenure producing some of the world's biggest rock songs.
Gibson USA Noel Gallagher Les Paul Standard
For a sound that fills stadiums, we have the Gibson Noel Gallagher Les Paul Standard. This stark, black Les Paul comes together with specifications personally picked by the guitarist – assembling as a recreation of the guitar you'd see him with on the band's Live '25 stadium tour. Gallagher's signature Les Paul Standard is an American-made model with a number of customizations. Principally beginning with a familiar non-weight relieved mahogany body and maple cap, the Les Paul continues on with a mahogany neck and bound rosewood fingerboard. The guitar's SlimTaper neck profile, a dimension preferred by Gallagher, enables the smooth transitions from the massive chords to righteous solos he is known for.
Two Gibson Soapbar P-90 pickups enter the conversation at this point to fuel the band's signature wall of sound. Made for anthems, these P-90s feature hand-wired Orange Drop capacitors for expressively melding through their punchy tones. A number of customizations for hardware and appointments land with black Top Hat knobs, an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, and a custom five-ply black Les Paul Custom-style pickguard.

Epiphone Gem Archer Sheraton and Epiphone Bonehead Riviera
For the band's two rhythm guitarists, Epiphone introduces the Masterbilt Gem Archer Sheraton and Bonehead Riviera. These two Epiphone semi-hollows assemble with a suite of high-quality specifications including five-ply layered bodies with maple centerblocks, bound rosewood fingerboards, and low-friction Graph Tech nuts for great, resonant semi-hollow tones and effortless playability. Archer's Masterbilt Sheraton is loaded with Gibson USA-designed Mini Humbuckers for a bright, cutting humbucking sound while Bonehead's Riviera is fitted with Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers for crowd-pleasing kick. Both of these Epiphones and Gallagher's Les Paul travel with included Gibson and Epiphone-brand hardshell cases.
Definitely, Maybe
Just in time for one of rock's biggest reunion tours, these Oasis signature Gibson and Epiphone guitars have been a long time coming. When it comes to Britpop's biggest band, there was always a question if they'd ever get back together – they said, "maybe."
