Oasis ‘Supersonic’ Guitar Sells for Over £130K at Auction

TRENDING ENTERTAINMENT NEWS : Oasis ‘Supersonic’ Guitar Sells for Over £130K at Auction

A guitar once owned by Noel Gallagher of Oasis, which was featured in the video for the band’s debut single “Supersonic,” has sold at auction for more than £130,000. The Epiphone Les Paul standard electric guitar, used by Gallagher in the lead-up to the recording of Oasis’s debut album *Definitely Maybe*, was sold by Sotheby’s for £132,000—far exceeding its estimated price of £60,000 to £80,000.

The guitar was also played during some of Oasis’s early live performances, including shows at Manchester’s Boardwalk, Gleneagles in Scotland, and Water Rats in London. In addition to its live history, the guitar was used during sessions at Out Of The Blue Studios in Manchester and Monnow Valley Studios in Wales. It also appeared in the cover artwork for their debut single “Supersonic.”

The auction comes amid excitement surrounding the Gallagher brothers’ announcement of an Oasis reunion tour in 2025, following their split in 2009. This guitar was one of four Noel Gallagher instruments sold during Sotheby’s inaugural popular culture sale.

Other notable sales included his Epiphone EA-250 electric guitar, which fetched £48,000, and a 1980 Gibson Flying V guitar, previously owned by The Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr and used by Gallagher in the recording of “Cigarettes and Alcohol,” which sold for £36,000.

Sotheby’s Head of Popular Culture, Katherine Schofield, highlighted the strong bidding as a fitting tribute to Oasis’s 30th anniversary and their upcoming reunion.
