This is not simply a rare guitar. This is number 21 of only 25 Gibson Noel Gallagher Live ’25 Les Paul guitars produced, personally signed by Noel Gallagher and accompanied by handwritten lyrics to “Slide Away”.

Never played, preserved in exceptional collector-grade condition and complete with its original Gibson Garage presentation, this is a genuinely extraordinary opportunity for the serious Oasis, Noel Gallagher and/or Gibson collector.

This wonderful guitar is individually numbered 21 of 25, placing it within one of the most limited and desirable Noel Gallagher Gibson releases ever produced. Noel Gallagher has personally signed the back of the guitar, creating a direct and tangible connection between the instrument and the artist for whom it was designed.

The guitar has never been played. The original Gibson Garage tags remain attached, and it comes with its original case and complete original case candy. What elevates this guitar beyond an already exceptionally limited Gibson release is the inclusion of handwritten lyrics to “Slide Away.”

“Slide Away” is widely regarded as one of the defining songs in the Oasis catalogue, and Noel Gallagher has spoken of it with enormous affection, once suggesting that it may be the greatest song he has ever written. Its connection to the Gibson Les Paul makes this pairing all the more significant. Noel has recalled writing “Slide Away” using a Gibson Les Paul loaned to him by Johnny Marr. He has said that when he sat down and began playing it, “the song wrote itself.” The combination of a Noel Gallagher signature Les Paul and handwritten lyrics to a song itself composed on a Les Paul creates an exceptional link between instrument, songwriter and song.

The Noel Gallagher Live ’25 Les Paul is based on the legendary 1960 Les Paul Standard, but with a specification shaped around Noel’s own preferences. Rather than traditional humbuckers, the guitar is fitted with P-90 pickups, giving it the character of a highly distinctive hybrid model. It combines the power, body and sustain associated with a Les Paul with the clarity, bite and responsiveness for which P-90s are renowned.

The guitar features:

• A maple top
• A mahogany body
• P-90 pickups
• A SlimTaper™ neck profile selected to suit Noel’s playing preference
• Grover® tuners, as found on the Gibson guitars Noel regularly plays
• An Ebony finish
• Murphy Lab aging completed in Nashville

Since acquisition, the guitar has been stored in a dedicated, temperature- and humidity-controlled room created specifically for the preservation and care of important guitars. It has never been used as a playing instrument and has been handled only with exceptional care. The Gibson Garage tags remain on the guitar, and all original accompanying items have been retained.

The collection includes:

• Gibson Noel Gallagher Live ’25 Les Paul
• Individually numbered 21 of only 25
• Personally signed by Noel Gallagher on the back of the guitar
• Noel Gallagher’s handwritten lyrics to “Slide Away”
• Original Gibson Garage tags still attached
• Original Gibson case
• Complete original case candy
• Maintained in temperature- and humidity-controlled conditions
• Exceptional collector-grade presentation
• A serious collector’s piece

For the serious Oasis, Noel Gallagher and/or Gibson collector, this represents an almost impossible combination: extreme rarity, impeccable condition, personal provenance and direct association with one of the most celebrated songs of the Britpop era.

This is a genuine opportunity to acquire a piece of music history. Serious enquiries only. Further photographs, detailed condition images and supporting documentation are available to prospective buyers.
