Details
Noel extensively played this guitar during the Standing on the Shoulder of Giants and the Brotherly Love1 tours between 2000 and 2001: it was his guitar of choice for Go Let it Out, Who Feels Love and Don't Look Back in Anger.
According to what Noel stated in a MSN Webchat in April 2000, this 330 is a 1980 model:2
"I also have a 1980 Rickenbacker, although I don't know the serial number. I got it from a shop that Gem used to work at and recommend to me."
Starting from April 2000, in various gigs the Pink Paisley Telecaster was used for Go Let It Out and Don't Look Back in Anger instead.
By the way, Mapleglo is simply the Rickenbacker name for a glossy, natural finish.
Stickers
At its first appearance (Top of the Pops, February 2000) this guitar had no stickers.
A green peace sign was soon added to the upper horn.
Then, later in 2000 and before the Brotherly Love tour, a Black Crowes sticker was applied to the pickguard.
