Epiphone Noel Gallagher Riviera

Epiphone is honored to welcome Noel Gallagher back to the core lineup with the Epiphone Noel Gallagher Riviera based on his 1983 Riviera that started it all.
With the original still in the artist's collection, Epiphone was granted access and, as a result, has included many historical elements with this new model. The color and finish are a close match to original models from that era, while Epiphone Alnico Classic PRO™ pickups ensure the sound matches the looks. A SlimTaper™ neck is completed by the inclusion of a volute. Extra touches such as historically accurate "E" appointments on the pickguard and truss rod cover and a brown sound hole label give this guitar a vintage feel. Complete with an Epiphone hardshell case, the guitar is finished off with a replica of the artist's signature on the back of the headstock.

"I'm a songwriter, I'm not a guitar player" probably the most honest quote by someone like him ever

[@bueller8278]

I dont think he can say that when you consider several Oasis hits have like a dozen electric guitar tracks

[@barkerpoo]

@@bueller8278 True but I think his comment is referring to the fact that he’s not really a virtuoso or so technically gifted at guitar. Noel is very good at guitar but there are session guitarists with more speed, agility and precision - but where Noel transcends is with his composition/writing abulity.

[@jackohalloran52]

I saw them in Denver front row in 2008 & he can shred like the best of them.

That is a quiet good guitar player who talks like that

[@sydguitar99]

What I really loved about Oasis is that they taught me that you don't need to be flashy or very technically sound to have fun writing and playing music

[@Furthermore69]

Very true. Noel made guitar music accessible. He often got slagged off by snobby critics for being simple but he wrote massive songs that anyone can learn and play. Top guy, top band

[@JesusIsLord7773]

This is what attracted me to play guitar. 🙏🏼👌🏼

[@theselector4733]

The devil's in the detail though. They may be 'simple' chords but the structure, arrangements and multi-tracking are exceptional.

[@silvar4399]

@@theselector4733 Exactly, and his ability to sing melodies that just naturally go with all the fast chord changes is enough to blow plenty trained musicians right out the water! You can get there but you need to write a hell of a lot of songs.

[@theselector4733]

@Anony-mousse True, but he portrays the 'don't give a shit" RnR attitude very well on occasions. I recall having an argument once with a bloke who knew Noel personally and said he had a lazy outlook on life; "Why do something today, you can put off till tomorrow". But my perspective was that you can't be as successful as he's been in the music industry if you don't do the hard yards and have a workmanlike attitude. The amount of discipline and self control he must've had to stick with it after all the shit that happened with Liam and the other 3 is monumental.

[@Albino_Scout]

Being a songwriter like Noel is a lot harder than being a guitar player

[@gargudon8720]

He is indeed one of the few songwriters I'd call a straight up genius. He can use the same great chords again and again again, yet make it sound a bit new every time. That and he's just a brilliant wordsmith and storyteller 🦋

[@spridle]

That's an obvious statement. Why wouldn't writing guitar and vocals not be as difficult as just playing guitar?

[@MrRubenmarrufo]

But lets be honest, he can play the guitar really really good

[@Glasshock]

'Hope.' Noel's songwriting always gives you a feeling of hope. Stunning. I was 24 in 1994 when I stood at a bar in the south of England and first heard Live Forever. My jaw dropped and continued to do so as they ripped apart the shite from the 80s and gave us all hope that the music industry would change and man, did they change it. I saw Oasis in a pub in Huddersfield in early 1994 and took my then 8 yo Daughter to see Noel in Detroit back in 2018. (We moved to Canada) In 94, Noel bought me and a mate a pint. In 2018, he popped his head out of the double doors next to the stage and handed my daughter, who was then on my shoulders, his setlist. He's grown far from that council estate in Burnage, but not ONCE has he forgotten where he came from nor those he grew up with. A national treasure and deservedly so.

[@ostrovmusic]

[@chris_fang]

with that guitar, he made history, he wrote a song that could be a national anthem! that's why he's my maximum idol! 🇬🇧

[@JimLem]

I've wanted this guitar since I first saw it in the Don't Look Back In Anger music video in 1995. Now, after more than 25 years, I finally have one, and it was well worth the wait! A seriously impressive guitar for the price, and even running clean straight into an amp, the sound is classic Oasis. Epiphone absolutely nailed this clone of Noel's iconic Riviera. Even if I couldn't play it, I would have bought it to hang on my wall. I love it!

[@polishmasterjay]

I’m not crying at 4 am looking up Epiphone guitars you are!!! 😢🎸🔥❤️👏🤣

[@joelewis2717]

This is amazing ,people like to downplay Oasis impact but watch this video and try not to get chills if you lived in that time period.

[@rexrathtar3893]

Yes, well said. This song was massive; reminds me of being at university.

[@Sean0780]

Between Don’t Look Back in Anger and Live Forever before it, these were two of the songs that made me an Oasis fan. Being 14-16 during these times was amazing. I didn’t identify with grunge. Even though being an American, I was more drawn to the care free and positive presentation of what was going on in England and the UK in those days. Whether the content of the songs had a darker moodier meaning didn’t really get to me until my 20’s! There really wasn’t an American counterpart to the Brit pop/indie movement in those days. Noel, Liam, and Oasis were definitely the gateway to all of that for me!

[@rg26rg62]

The time period does not play a roll for me. The song is timeless.

[@silverapples75]

I can’t tell you how happy I am that Gibson/Epiphone did this, and announced it the same day as the release of the Gibson ES-355. I knew that ES was going to be at least $6-7k, and I simply could not have afforded it. So, to see them also surprise us with a more affordable Noel Gallagher signature guitar, with arguably just as much significance in its place in Noel’s career, I jumped at the opportunity and bought one immediately. And I’m glad I did, because both models are SOLD OUT! Thanks, Gibson/Epiphone, and Noel for doing this.

[@jamesrobertson2216]

You can be the best guitar player on the planet, but not be able to write a song. What Noel does better than anyone of the last 30 years, is write songs that people love. I was at a wedding 4 weeks ago and the DJ had the usual mix of half decent tracks mixed in with cheese. Last song he played was Champagne Supernova. The whole room ended up singing along, arm in arm, at the top of their lungs. There are very few songwriters that have the ability to unite people with their music. I struggle to think of an artist who does it better than Oasis....in the UK anyway.
