Yo carlober ! Whose is the dark Epiphone Riviera that Gem plays for RnR Star and CS on the DBTT tours. Is it Noel's or his? Haven't seen it recently but it's such a great guitar. I can't figure out how to post screenshots here lol but I'm sure you know which one I mean. That's a bit of a mystery I still haven't been able to solve. It is either a late '60s Riviera or a Japanese Elitist reissue. It looks suspiciously similar to the one that Noel is holding in this photo by Markus Klinko (is it from 2000? 2001?). I've never seen Noel playing this one, so it might be Gem's but who knows! My bet is on the late 60s. I have a japanese elite riviera and Gem or Noels Riviera with the minihumbucker seems to have more of a walnut, brownish tint than the elitist.

Everyone knows the story of the Sunburst Les Paul that Johnny Marr lent Noel in January 1994 – and never got back! But fewer are aware of Johnny’s Flying V: Noel is said to have used it for recording Slide Away and Cigarettes & Alcohol during the Definitely Maybe sessions at Monnow Valley. With the guitar currently up for auction at Sotheby’s (and the release of the Monnow Valley versions), I’ve decided it’s time to finish the dedicated page that has been sitting in drafts for a few months. NEW PAGE: Gibson Flying V (1980)By the way, there's a curious anecdote about this guitar that involves yours truly In 2019, when Johnny Marr handed the Flying V to a dealer for sale, the guitar’s connection to Oasis wasn’t mentioned. Johnny likely forgot that he had lent the guitar to Noel 25 years earlier!
I immediately recognized the Flying V as the one Noel played at Monnow Valley, so I contacted the unaware dealer to inform him about its history. His first reaction was... well, unexpected I've written a very short post about this story if you're interested: thechiefsguitars.com/2024/09/05/johnny-marrs-gibson-flying-v/

What equipment would Noel have used during the gig at the Tramway in 94? The Marshall and the Wem or did he have the Orange head and cab by that point? I've always wanted to recreate his tone from that gig, it's fucking heavenly
