Would you pay $170,000+ for an Epiphone Les Paul? Somebody just did, as Noel Gallagher’s “Definitely Maybe” rides the wave of Oasis reunion fever to fetch eye-watering fee at auction

Noel Gallagher's "Definitely Maybe" Epiphone Les Paul, which sold at auction for £123,000 .

The Epiphone Les Paul that Noel Gallagher used to track Oasis’ 1994 debut album, Definitely Maybe, has been sold at auction for £132,000 (approximately $173,500), making it one of the most expensive cheap electric guitars of all time.

Well, maybe not cheap, but the Epiphone equivalent of the classic Gibson single-cut electric guitar was certainly affordable at the time, and a similar model would set you back some 500 bucks today on the used market.
