Noel Gallagher has called it the “world’s best” electric guitar, but maybe his 1997 Silver Sparkle Gibson Les Paul Florentine that he sold in the ‘90s is simply too good to hold onto, because it has just been sold again at auction, with the BBC reporting that it fetched £226,000.
The auction, hosted via Propstore, saw a cornucopia of Oasis-related ephemera go under the hammer. This was an occasion for those of deep pockets to bid for frontman Liam Gallagher’s tambourine, or for one of Noel’s old golf buggies, refinished with a hotrod paint job – just the thing for a trip down to Waitrose.
