Epiphone Supernova Manchester City Blue made in 2004 in Korea


Epiphone Supernova
The Supernova was a Korean-made electric guitar manufactured by Epiphone for Noel Gallagher of the English band Oasis. Noel used a customised Epiphone Sheraton guitar with a Union Jack design during a lot of Oasis shows during the tour promoting the second album (What's The Story) Morning Glory? The Epiphone Supernova was designed to represent that guitar, even though there are several differences, for instance, the Sheraton guitar used by Noel had mini-humbucker pickups and a frequensator tailpiece whereas the Supernova has regular humbucker pickups and a stop-style tailpiece. The original guitar is now on show at the british music experience at the O2 arena. Featuring a double cutaway design, the Supernova is reminiscent of other Epiphones such as the Sheraton or Dot. The Supernova featured chrome hardware, including a stop bar tailpiece, humbucking pickups and tuners.
Featuring two Alnico 57 pickups, the guitar is tonally similar to the Sheraton and Gibson ES-335 guitars. The guitar was available in four colours, a Union Jack paintjob (which Gallagher had on his own guitar), Manchester City blue, Gallagher's favourite football club, cherry red, and the very rare ebony black.
The Supernova was produced for a number of years, but has since been discontinued.
