Gibson Delivers the Noel Gallagher Les Paul Standard

— November 23, 2025 — Art & Design
Gibson has introduced another limited-production signature instrument — the Noel Gallagher Les Paul Standard. Developed in collaboration with the renowned musician, this model incorporates specific design elements requested by the artist — from "a mahogany neck with Gallagher’s preferred SlimTaper™ profile" to a set of chrome-covered P-90 pickups. The electronics are housed in a body constructed from mahogany and maple.

The Noel Gallagher Les Paul Standard's appearance is characterized by traditional acrylic inlays and a pickguard style typically associated with the brand's Custom line. It is accompanied by a protective hardshell case and features the artist's signature on the rear of the headstock.

The instrument is being marketed in connection with the ongoing Oasis reunion tour and will be available for purchase for a constrained period through the company's official channels and authorized retailers.
