Noel&#8217;s signature Standard features a non-weight relieved mahogany body with a bound maple cap, a SlimTaper neck with rosewood board and trapeze inlays, topped off with a pair of P-90s that have the growl and grit we love.<\/p>\n<p>Noel has been playing a Custom Shop Les Paul throughout the 2025 tour, and earlier this year, Gibson made a very limited run of 25 replicas. This new USA-made version now brings Noel\u2019s signature model to a much wider audience.<\/p>\n<p>Like Noel\u2019s Custom Shop guitar, this is based on a 1960 Les Paul Standard with the humbuckers swapped out for P-90s. The Les Paul sound was featured heavily on some of Noel\u2019s most famous recordings, and that legacy is revived with this new signature model.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first time Mr Gallagher has worked with Nashville\u2019s finest, of course! He has previously collaborated with Epiphone on the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/Guitar-and-Bass\/Epiphone-Noel-Gallagher-Riviera\/51IR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Noel Gallagher Riviera<\/a><\/strong>, based on an early &#8217;80s Riviera that he still owns. This time around, he\u2019s moved to the higher-end Gibson brand to produce something a little more aspirational.<\/p>\n<p>The new Les Paul comes complete with epic tone, built-in rock and roll history, and a link to one of the most important bands of the Britpop scene. If you\u2019re a fan of any of those things, it\u2019s well worth checking out.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Materials_and_build_quality\"><\/span>Materials and build quality<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>As you\u2019d expect of a proper American-made Les Paul, the materials and build quality are all very good. The guitar uses the classic mahogany and maple recipe that we know and love, giving it a lovely, warm tone with enough bright top end to cut through the mix live or in the studio. The fretboard is rosewood on a mahogany neck. All fairly standard for a Les Paul.<\/p>\n<p>Noel specified the SlimTaper neck carve, which is a fast, comfortable choice. He also opted for a non-weight-relieved body for maximum sustain \u2013 say what you like about the man, he\u2019s clearly got a strong back and shoulders! \u00a0The chrome-plated hardware looks elegant against the ebony finish, and the black 5-ply style pickguard is a nice little nod to the Les Paul Custom model.<\/p>\n<p>The heart of the Noel Gallagher Les Paul is the pair of chrome-covered Gibson P-90s. Nothing else sounds quite like a P-90; they bring that glorious, gritty roar that we love, like they\u2019ve been living off Cigarettes and Alcohol (sorry again). When you combine these excellent P-90s with the sustain and rich warmth that comes from the Les Paul\u2019s construction, you get a fantastic, inspiring result.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Playability\"><\/span>Playability<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-48220\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2025\/10\/Gibson-Les-Paul-headstock-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Gibson Les Paul headstock\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2025\/10\/Gibson-Les-Paul-headstock-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2025\/10\/Gibson-Les-Paul-headstock-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2025\/10\/Gibson-Les-Paul-headstock-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2025\/10\/Gibson-Les-Paul-headstock-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2025\/10\/Gibson-Les-Paul-headstock-1080x1080.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2025\/10\/Gibson-Les-Paul-headstock-1280x1280.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2025\/10\/Gibson-Les-Paul-headstock-980x980.jpg 980w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2025\/10\/Gibson-Les-Paul-headstock-480x480.jpg 480w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2025\/10\/Gibson-Les-Paul-headstock.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>The Noel Gallagher Les Paul sits comfortably, whether you&#8217;re playing seated or standing.<\/p>\n<p>Its SlimTaper neck profile is slim enough for easy lead playing while remaining solid enough to feel like a Les Paul. The 24.75\u201d scale length adds to the comfortable feel. Big bends, wide vibrato, and expressive techniques all come easily.<\/p>\n<p>Blues, rock, metal, punk, classics from Noel\u2019s back catalogue &#8211; whatever your style, there\u2019s also something wonderful in the way the guitar responds to the nuances of your playing.<\/p>\n<p>That said, as with many traditional Les Pauls, this isn\u2019t a light guitar! It\u2019s been built without weight relief, so you may find it a little tiring by the time you\u2019re halfway through your set.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a choice that maximises sustain, though, and a proper <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/Guitar-and-Bass\/DAddario-74T000-3-Inch-Wide-Bass-Guitar-Strap-w--Internal-Pad-Black\/R7D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">padded strap<\/a><\/strong> will make a big difference if shoulder strain and fatigue are potential issues for you.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sound_quality_and_performance\"><\/span>Sound quality and performance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Unsurprisingly, the sound is where this Les Paul really shines. A mahogany body, a maple cap, and P-90 pickups \u2013 you know it\u2019s going to sound amazing. It\u2019s a recipe for rich, warm tones with bite. And while it would be very easy for us to use a lot of adjectives to describe the sound, you\u2019d be better off looking up videos of Noel\u2019s live performances over the last year. He gets some huge sounds from his Custom Shop version.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the P-90s, it really sings when you start to turn up the gain. Driven sounds are thick without ever sounding muddy or unclear. There\u2019s a real presence to the guitar, and it\u2019s able to cut through the mix beautifully. If you\u2019ve never played a guitar with P-90s, you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re missing; if you have, then you\u2019ll have a good idea how much fun this one can be!<\/p>\n<p>While Gibson are obviously looking to appeal to collectors and fans of Noel\u2019s music, this is very much a guitar that\u2019s built to be played. It has the build quality and reliability to stand up to regular gigs; it\u2019s not just a pretty wall-hanger!

It\u2019s been a huge event for fans of Britpop, and we\u2019re delighted that the Gibson team has been working with the man himself to create something special.

Whether you\u2019re a fan of Mr Gallagher\u2019s recently reunited band or not, this is a guitar worth paying attention to.<\/p><hr \/><h3>The short version<\/h3><p>The Noel Gallagher Les Paul Standard is the result of a long partnership between the artist and the Gibson flagship. Starting with an Epiphone Standard way back in the 90s, Noel has been playing Les Pauls for decades, and has finally created a unique model all of his own. This P-90-loaded Rock \u2018N\u2019 Roll Star (sorry!) is something fans of Noel will love, as will Les Paul aficionados.<\/p><p>[table id=364 \/]<\/p><hr \/><h3>The Gibson Noel Gallagher Les Paul explained<\/h3><h4>What is it?<\/h4><p><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-48219\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2025\/10\/Gibson-USA-Noel-Gallagher-Les-Paul-Standard-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Gibson USA Noel Gallagher Les Paul Standard \" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><span data-contrast=\"auto\">First and foremost, it\u2019s an excellent guitar, and a proper Les Paul! Noel's signature Standard features a non-weight relieved mahogany body with bound maple cap, a SlimTaper neck with rosewood board and trapeze inlays, topped off with a pair of P90s that have the growl and grit we love.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"134233117\":false,\"134233118\":false,\"201341983\":0,\"335551550\":0,\"335551620\":0,\"335559738\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Noel has been playing a Custom Shop Les Paul throughout the 2025 tour, and earlier this year Gibson made a very limited run of 25 replicas. This new USA-made version now brings Noel\u2019s signature model to a much wider audience.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"134233117\":false,\"134233118\":false,\"201341983\":0,\"335551550\":0,\"335551620\":0,\"335559738\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Like Noel\u2019s Custom Shop guitar, this is based on a 1960 Les Paul Standard with the humbuckers swapped out for P-90s. The Les Paul sound was featured heavily on some of Noel\u2019s most famous recordings, and that legacy is revived with this new signature model.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"134233117\":false,\"134233118\":false,\"201341983\":0,\"335551550\":0,\"335551620\":0,\"335559738\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>This isn\u2019t the first time Mr Gallagher has worked with Nashville\u2019s finest, of course! He has previously collaborated with Epiphone on the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/Guitar-and-Bass\/Epiphone-Noel-Gallagher-Riviera\/51IR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Noel Gallagher Riviera<\/a><\/strong>, based on an early '80s Riviera that he still owns. This time around, he\u2019s moved to the higher-end Gibson brand to produce something a little more aspirational.<\/p><p>The new Les Paul comes complete with epic tone, built-in rock and roll history, and a link to one of the most important bands of the Britpop scene. If you\u2019re a fan of any of those things, it\u2019s well worth checking out.<\/p><hr \/><h4>Materials and build quality<\/h4><p>As you\u2019d expect of a proper American-made Les Paul, the materials and build quality are all very good. The guitar uses the classic mahogany and maple recipe that we know and love, giving it a lovely, warm tone with enough bright top end to cut through the mix live or in the studio. The fretboard is rosewood on a mahogany neck. All fairly standard for a Les Paul.<\/p><p>Noel specified the SlimTaper neck carve, which is a fast, comfortable choice. He also opted for a non-weight-relieved body for maximum sustain \u2013 say what you like about the man, he\u2019s clearly got a strong back and shoulders! \u00a0The chrome-plated hardware looks elegant against the ebony finish, and the black 5-ply style pickguard is a nice little nod to the Les Paul Custom model.<\/p><p>The heart of the Noel Gallagher Les Paul is the pair of chrome-covered Gibson P-90s. Nothing else sounds quite like a P-90; they bring that glorious, gritty roar that we love, like they\u2019ve been living off Cigarettes and Alcohol (sorry again). When you combine these excellent P-90s with the sustain and rich warmth that comes from the Les Paul\u2019s construction, you get a fantastic, inspiring result.<\/p><hr \/><h4>Playability<\/h4><p><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-48220\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2025\/10\/Gibson-Les-Paul-headstock-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Gibson Les Paul headstock\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/>The Noel Gallagher Les Paul sits comfortably, whether you're playing seated or standing. The SlimTaper neck profile is slim enough for easy lead playing while remaining solid enough to feel like a Les Paul. The 24.75\u201d scale length adds to the comfortable feel. Big bends, wide vibrato, and expressive techniques all come easily.<\/p><p>Blues, rock, metal, punk, classics from Noel\u2019s back catalogue - whatever your style, there\u2019s also something wonderful in the way the guitar responds to the nuances of your playing.<\/p><p>That said, as with many traditional Les Pauls, this isn\u2019t a light guitar! It\u2019s been built without weight relief, so you may find it a little tiring by the time you\u2019re halfway through your set.<\/p><p>It\u2019s a choice that maximises sustain, though, and a proper <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/Guitar-and-Bass\/DAddario-74T000-3-Inch-Wide-Bass-Guitar-Strap-w--Internal-Pad-Black\/R7D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">padded strap<\/a><\/strong> will make a big difference if shoulder strain and fatigue are potential issues for you.<\/p><hr \/><h4>Sound quality and performance<\/h4><p>Unsurprisingly, the sound is where this Les Paul really shines. A mahogany body, a maple cap, and P-90 pickups \u2013 you know it\u2019s going to sound amazing. It\u2019s a recipe for rich, warm tones with bite. And while it would be very easy for us to use a lot of adjectives to describe the sound, you\u2019d be better off looking up videos of Noel\u2019s live performances over the last year. He gets some huge sounds from his Custom Shop version.<\/p><p>Thanks to the P-90s, it really sings when you start to turn up the gain. Driven sounds are thick without ever sounding muddy or unclear. There\u2019s a real presence to the guitar, and it\u2019s able to cut through the mix beautifully. If you\u2019ve never played a guitar with P-90s, you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re missing; if you have, then you\u2019ll have a good idea how much fun this one can be!<\/p><p>While Gibson are obviously looking to appeal to collectors and fans of Noel\u2019s music, this is very much a guitar that\u2019s built to be played. It has the build quality and reliability to stand up to regular gigs; it\u2019s not just a pretty wall-hanger! This is a genuinely good Les Paul that we\u2019re confident will see a lot of stages.<\/p><hr \/><h3>Gibson Noel Gallagher Les Paul Standard specifications<\/h3><p>[table id=365 \/]<\/p><p>[table id=366 \/]<\/p><p>[table id=367 \/]<\/p><p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48227\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2025\/10\/Gibson-Noel-Gallagher.jpg\" alt=\"Gibson Noel Gallagher\" width=\"1330\" height=\"665\" \/><\/p><hr \/><h3>FAQs<\/h3><h4>What Les Paul does Noel Gallagher use?<\/h4><p>Noel Gallagher has used several different Les Pauls, notably the black Les Paul Standard he used on the 2025 reunion tour and a 1997 Les Paul Florentine Silver Sparkle.

If you\u2019re a fan of Noel, Gibson, or just good guitars, you\u2019ll like this one.<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[105,256,262],"tags":[108,162,107,554,550],"class_list":["post-48114","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-guitars-bass","category-guitar-new-releases","category-guitar-reviews","tag-featured","tag-gibson","tag-guitars","tag-new-launch","tag-review"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Gibson Noel Gallagher Les Paul Explained | Gear4music<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"We take you through the Gibson Noel Gallagher Les Paul, looking at the specifications, playability, sound, and overall performance.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/blog\/gibson-noel-gallagher-les-paul-explained\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Gibson Noel Gallagher Les Paul Explained | Gear4music\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"We take you through the Gibson Noel Gallagher Les Paul, looking at the specifications, playability, sound, and overall performance.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/blog\/gibson-noel-gallagher-les-paul-explained\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gear4music Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Gear4music\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2025-10-30T16:05:53+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-10-31T15:56:49+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2025\/10\/Featured-image-Gibson-Noel-Gallagher-Les-Paul-Explained.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1330\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"665\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jonathan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@gear4music\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@gear4music\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jonathan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"8 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.gear4music.com\\\/blog\\\/gibson-noel-gallagher-les-paul-explained\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.gear4music.com\\\/blog\\\/gibson-noel-gallagher-les-paul-explained\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Jonathan\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.gear4music.com\\\/blog\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/bc3911129b88291081a984f1cfd15810\"},\"headline\":\"Gibson Noel Gallagher Les Paul Explained \u2013 Design, Specs, and Legacy\",\"datePublished\":\"2025-10-30T16:05:53+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-10-31T15:56:49+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.gear4music.com\\\/blog\\\/gibson-noel-gallagher-les-paul-explained\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":2024,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.gear4music.com\\\/blog\\\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.gear4music.com\\\/blog\\\/gibson-noel-gallagher-les-paul-explained\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/storage.googleapis.com\\\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\\\/2025\\\/10\\\/Featured-image-Gibson-Noel-Gallagher-Les-Paul-Explained.jpg\",\"keywords\":[\"Featured\",\"Gibson\",\"Guitars\",\"New Launch\",\"Review\"],\"articleSection\":[\"Guitars &amp;
