It’s been a long and busy month, but now it’s time for some updates on the website. Nothing really major, but there are definitely a few interesting tidbits to share!

UPDATED PAGES:

Three guitars were auctioned last month by Sotheby’s, and their pages on the website have been updated accordingly. These guitars include the Supersonic Epiphone Les Paul, Johnny Marr’s Flying V, and the early ’70s hollow-bodied EA-250.

A couple of fans pointed out that the Gretsch was not a Tennessean but a Country Gentleman model, and they are indeed right! Also, I had forgotten about these backstories: allegedly, the guitar was owned by John Squire, and Noel wrote Live Forever and recorded Married With Children on it!

After careful examination, involving detailed analysis of grainy old photos (I love this kind of stuff!), I believe I have managed to identify the correct model of the bridge pickup on the famous Gibson Les Paul Burst conversion, also known as “Johnny’s old one.”

There has been an update regarding Gem’s recent live usage of the Tahitian Coral Stratocaster and the Firemist Silver Telecaster. Additionally, Noel played the white Nash Jazzmaster from the Who Built the Moon? era during the July 2024 Asian dates.

Last but not least: more details about the SG ’61 Reissue and one of the Les Pauls – both used during the early HFB rehearsals in Summer 2011.
