Noel Gallagher has joined forces with Gibson to release as many as 20 signed ’78 Les Paul Custom guitars for charity.

These limited run of guitars will go on sale in-person at the official opening of this new flagship store this Saturday (February 24).

“no better way to start 2024”

This particular guitar was inspired by one which Gallagher had received from his friend and former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr.

In fact, it was supplying Noel with that guitar which also inspired Marr to give up the booze. More on this here.

On this collaboration with Noel Gallagher, Head of Marketing, EU and UK, Gibson Brand, Lee Bratram said, “As Gibson continues the relationship with Noel Gallagher there is no better way to start 2024 by supporting a truly amazing cause which is close to both our hearts and minds”. 

He also added, “We have worked closely with The Teenage Cancer Trust for many years, and it’s always an honour and privilege to support them in raising much needed funds and awareness for the work they do”. 

“celebrating the iconic moment”

It was also confirmed that all profits from the sale of these guitars would go towards the Teenage Cancer Trust, which Noel Gallagher is also an ambassador for.

Jane Ashton who is the Head of Music and Entertainment, Teenage Cancer Trust, also added this.

“Teenage Cancer Trust’s musical history started in 2000 with the launch of our iconic annual series of shows at the Royal Albert Hall. 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”, she said.

“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. Our sincere thanks to Gibson guitars, long-term supporters of Teenage Cancer Trust, and our Ambassador Noel Gallagher. The money raised will make an enormous difference in the lives of young people with cancer and could fund two Outreach nurses for an entire year, helping us to reach more young people in the UK no matter where they live”. 

Last week, Liam Gallagher claimed that he offered brother Noel the chance to reunite Oasis at his upcoming ‘Definitely Maybe’ Tour, but the former guitarist turned it down.
