2004 Epiphone Noel Gallagher signature Supernova – Manchester Blue
The Epiphone Supernova, the signature of Noel Gallagher, of Oasis and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds (Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds), the Epiphone Noel Gallagher Signature SUPERNOVA in beautiful Manchester City blue. This one was made in Korea in 2004. The signature pickguard and truss rod cover are original and in excellent condition. This model is based on the Epiphone CASINO but has a center block, 2 humbuckers, and a stop tailpiece with a PU selector on the bass side horn. Made at the Unsung factory in Korea in 2004, looks pretty amazing. A very rare instrument in extremely clean condition. Beautiful split diamond inlays on a dark streaky rosewood fretboard. Frets are big, bright and clean. Sounds and plays great, no buzzing or rattles, this is an extremely nice thing in rare condition. Weighs 8lb even. Hot pickups read 8.4k in the bridge and 8k at the neck with the middle position at 4.0k.
Condition is 8.5/10 for wear, light impressions, one or two small dings. Excellent stock signature instrument which presents very well, sounds amazing with the rich, dark humbuckers. See the pictures, ask for more. There’s a couple of light scratches under the tailpiece, hard to photograph swirls. No belt rash or worming present, was mostly a studio instrument. Now setup on 11’s with a straight neck and low action. Not easy to find in this kind of shape. Comes with case key, original truss rod tool and owners manual.
Condition
Excellent condition, shows light play wear, light impressions and swirls in the poly finish. There’s a couple of horizontal check marks on the back of the headstock below the white oval sticker. There’s a small ding from a string strike in the front of the headstock above and to the left of the Mother of Pearl inlay. Hard to spot, see the pictures. There’s a flaw or ding on the top portion of the bass side f cut, the paint is uneven on the inside of the cut for about 3mm. Chrome is shiny, all parts are stock and unmodified. Overall, a beautiful more than player grade instrument. See the pictures, ask for more. As always there are more and better pictures than Reverb will host at my site deegearlocker dotcom. Comes in an older TKL 335 style hard case that despite one missing latch is generally good, clean and secure.
