Details

This bizarre Epiphone was sold in a package that included the guitar and a 15 watt amp. The amp did not have any controls and was instead controlled by the knobs on the guitar's pickguard by way of a special cable.
It was a commercial failure and only 396 were made before the Professional was discontinued in 1967.1

Noel has never played it live.
The guitar+amp combo was sold in 2017 for around £5k.2

As of today, it is located at Hard Rock Cafe in Piccadilly, London.
