Noel Gallagher's 'best' guitar sells for P17M
FILE PHOTO: Oasis 'Supersonic' guitar sells for $172,000 Two guitars featured on the cover of Oasis's 1994 debut single 'Supersonic' fetch above estimate prices at an auction, weeks after the British band announced a 2024 reunion tour, ending an infamous 15-year feud. An Epiphone Les Paul Standard guitar fetched £132,000 ($172,000), well above its £80,000 estimate, while an Epiphone EA-250, circa 1972-4 -- sold for £48,000. The online sale also saw guitars played by Prince, Eddie van Halen, an Abbey Road Studios piano, and Marianne Faithfull's designer jackets go under the hammer in Sotheby's first popular culture auction. Bidding opened from 29 August and closed on 12 September, following a four day exhibition of the items in London.
