Noel Gallagher Epiphone Riviera

[Noirie.]

Wish I got an original when they were affordable.

I for some reason thought that the prices were gonna be always the same forever. Those used Matsumoku humbucker Rivieras were under $1000 and now new Chinese Epiphones cost as much

[Noirie.]

Credit crunch bruv.

[sunshiner]

MIK Epiphone Sheratons are still quite affordable. Give it a couple of years and they will be over $1000 easily

The only Noel sig I routinely remember existing is the Supernova, probably because of this magazine ad that was in every GP and Guitar World for a few years when I was a teenager.

In the UK it probably doesn't help that the pound is down against almost every currency.

Putin's gas blackmailing is promising to bring down euro, so you might not feel lonely for long.

This is the one I definitely remember as well. They also had "Union Jack" version of this for a brief minute.

I never understood the concept of Oasis in modern times. It is so completely ridiculous.

I had one of those - one of the best quality instruments I have ever experienced. I don't bond with the 335 thing so I sold it to a friend, but it was outstanding.

I've had my MIK Epiphone Riviera since 1994 and it holds its own against every other guitar (regardless of price and brand) I've ever played

The guitarist in my old band had two of these as his main guitars, a blonde one and a black one. We would swap out the bridge pickup with Duncan Pearly Gates and add a Bigsby.

Can we get the "Will it blend" guy to stick it in a blender to see if it will blend?
