Rock 'n' Roll Reunion: Gibson Unveils the Noel Gallagher Les Paul Standard
Gibson unveils the Noel Gallagher Les Paul Standard for the Live '25 tour! Get the specs on this Britpop icon's new signature guitar with P-90 pickups
Classic Les Paul Design Meets Britpop Edge
The Noel Gallagher Les Paul Standard pays homage to classic Les Paul specs while incorporating unique artist-approved details. It features a solid mahogany body with a bound maple top and, significantly for tone purists, no weight relief, ensuring the full, rich resonance expected of a vintage instrument. The mahogany neck is shaped to Gallagher’s preferred SlimTaper profile, providing a fast and comfortable feel, paired with a bound rosewood fretboard, 22 medium jumbo frets, and acrylic trapezoid inlays.
Distinctive Features and Premium Components
This signature guitar is built for performance and sonic distinction:
- P-90 Power: A key feature is the pair of chrome-covered Gibson P-90 Soapbar pickups. These pickups are known for their biting clarity and fat midrange, providing the perfect voice for rock 'n' roll and Britpop tones. They are hand-wired to individual volume and tone controls, utilizing a three-way selector switch for versatile tone shaping.
- Hardware for the Road: Premium hardware ensures road-ready reliability and sustain. This includes an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece for exceptional sustain and intonation. Grover® Rotomatic® tuners with kidney buttons guarantee tuning stability.
- Aesthetic Touches: Visually, the guitar stands out with a black five-ply pickguard, reminiscent of the look found on classic Les Paul Customs. Vintage-style black Top Hat knobs with silver reflectors and dial pointers add an authentic touch.
- The Signature Stamp: A personal nod to the artist is a decal reproduction of Noel Gallagher's signature on the back of the headstock.
