California. The guitar was played by the Oasis member just seven months before the band broke up.
The guitar is a Grand-Suzuki Hummingbird and was originally worth around £500 when the Gallagher brother first bought it.
He played the guitar backstage before a gig in Amsterdam in January 2009. The signed instrument sold for £24,028 ($32,500) last Saturday, May 31, as reported on What’s The Jam.
The guitar was sold by Julien's Auctions in Los Angeles, California, along with an array of other Oasis memorabilia.
It comes after the lead guitarist and songwriter Noel, 58, and lead singer brother Liam have reformed and are set to go on tour next month. The duo have been reported to have rehearsed at a
secret location in London this week.
The guitar listing reads: “A photo-matched Grand-Suzuki Hummingbird guitar, used and owned by Noel Gallagher during his time in iconic British band Oasis.
Article continues below “This guitar was originally obtained from Gallagher's personal collection and was used to warm up and jam backstage.
“Wear near the sound hole and patterns on the pickguard can be matched to a Mick Hutson photograph of Gallagher holding the guitar backstage at an Oasis concert in Amsterdam on 21 January
2009.
"The guitar is signed by Noel Gallagher on the back of the headstock in silver felt tip pen.”
