A guitar that helped create some of the most iconic songs of the 1990s just sold for nearly $100,000. The Epiphone EJ-200 acoustic guitar, signed by Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher, fetched $96,000 at auction.
The guitar wasn't just any instrument - it was used to record 'Wonderwall' and 'Champagne Supernova,' two of Oasis's biggest hits. Both songs appeared on the Manchester band's second album '(What's the Story) Morning Glory,' which became one of the best-selling albums in British music history.
Oasis dominated the British music scene in the 1990s during the Britpop era. 'Wonderwall' became the band's signature song and remains a karaoke favorite decades later. The album sold over 22 million copies worldwide and helped cement the band's place in rock history.
The high sale price reflects the enduring popularity of Oasis and the rarity of instruments actually used in famous recordings. Music memorabilia has become a hot investment category, with guitars from legendary artists regularly selling for six figures.
This sale shows how much fans will pay for pieces of music history, especially from beloved 90s bands. With Oasis recently announcing reunion tour dates, interest in the band's memorabilia has surged to new heights.
More Oasis memorabilia may hit the auction market as interest in the band remains high.
