Motivated by the Beatles’ Epiphone obsession, Noel Gallagher got on the semiacoustic bandwagon. Definitely Maybe was recorded with a Riviera, but as the band got bigger Noel reached for two Sheratons, a tobacco sunburst model and the legendary Union Jack guitar unveiled at Glastonbury 1997. Both Sheratons had minihumbuckers, which have a brighter sound than their full-sized equivalents, helping Noel’s barre chords retain clarity.
