Hi Can anyone tell me the exact model of this guitar? I'm looking to buy one. Also, if anyone can help? Can these be bought with the Union Jack or is it best to buy the guitar and have the Union Jack then finished on the guitar by a professional? Any help much appreciated. Cheers Attachments:

They made a model based on it, but Noel's had different specs. As far as I know, his was a Epiphone Riviera... Do they even make those any more? Maybe it was a Sheraton... Do they make those any more? One of the two.

It's not as good imo and they don't make them anymore. TBH I can't imagine anyone in a band playing a guitar with a Union Jack paint job. |

You've saved me many a thread starter over the coming months. Doubt it. I've answered simmilar questions to yours before and I always post a link to that site (as do other people) but no soubt someone will come along in a week or two and ask about Noel's Union Jack guitar. For example: I only posted this less than two weeks ago: "Some might say it's a Epiphone Riviera, but they are wrong...the headstock gives the clue: it's a 60's Epiphone Sheraton alright. Unlike the new Sheratons, the 60s version looked very similar to the 60's (and to the most recent) Riviera, as both featured frequensator tailpiece and mini-humbuckers. It was a present from then girlfriend Meg Matthews, and customized by a London luthier. Maybe most of you realize this, but some might not: It's worth noting that Noel Gallagher's signature guitar, the Epiphone Supernova, is an entirely different thing from the Union Jack guitar he played at Maine Road, and we've found no evidence he's ever played it. He just posed with it. The guitar - excellent as it is, by all accounts - is just an expensive piece of merchandise...and quite different than the original Union Jack guitar: the Supernova has stoptail bridge and humbuckers, as opposed to frequensator and mini-humbuckers, making it closer to the Epiphone Sheraton II or the 70s Epiphone Riviera. Sadly discontinued, the Epiphone John Lee Hooker Signature Sheraton I (not the commonly found Sheraton II) looked exactly like Noel's. Some sites say Noel Gallagher played one - he might, but not before 2000, when the guitar was released. So the guitar we see him playing at 1996 gigs - including Knebworth - must be an older model.

Mind you, I only come on to this board when I feel like smashing my guitar up - I get frustrated about things quite easily with my guitar. |

I can't imagine anyone in a band playing a guitar with a Union Jack paint job. The guitarist in my band uses the Supernova. He's done quite a bit to it over the years to improve the sound, he's not the kind of guy to play it just to show it off. Although he was, when were were about 13 playing in pubs in Plymouth!  |
