Details

This elusive Les Paul Custom was played in Hey Hey My My during the first night at Wembley in 2000, as seen in the live DVD Familiar to Millions.

It could be an original mid '50s model, an early '70s reissue or a late '90s reissue.

It features a Bigsby B-7 vibrato unit and P-90 pickups: so, if it is a '50s model, it must be from between 1954 and 1956; in 1957 Gibson introduced the humbucker pickup design and P-90s were dropped.1

This guitar was - as far as I know - never seen before or after the first night at Wembley. Even during the second night, Noel played one of his usual Cherry Sunburst Les Paul Standards for Hey Hey My My.
