Proceeds from the Noel Gallagher custom guitar will be going to Teenage Cancer Trust.
20 of Noel Gallagher‘s hand-signed, custom ’78 Les Paul guitars will be up for grabs on February 24th to mark the opening of the Gibson Garage store in London.
The original Gibson was one of the many in the younger Gallagher’s guitar collection to have been gifted by Johnny Marr, and featured prominently during Oasis’ breakthrough year of 1994 – Noel has said:
The Les Paul Custom that Johnny gave me in 1994 was always one of my favourite guitars, and it carries a lot of history. The reissues are great, they feel almost identical. I am delighted they are being sold to support the Teenage Cancer Trust.
“Teenage Cancer Trust’s musical history started in 2000 with the launch of our iconic annual series of shows at the Royal Albert Hall,” Jane Ashton of TCT added. “Noel Gallagher was there for that very first performance, and as an ambassador of the charity has been relentless in his support of young people with cancer ever since.”
“These guitars are steeped in their own musical history, celebrating the iconic moment one British music legend gifted a priceless guitar to another, like the handing of a baton.”
