As Played By/As Owned By: Iconic Instruments For Hire
Hamish Stuart's
(Paul McCartney, Average White Band)
1967 Epiphone Casino
The Epiphone Casino a classic in its own right. This one the guitar behind Chaka Khan's "I'm Every Woman", Average White Band's "Let's Go Round Again", and on tour with Paul McCartney.
Noel Gallagher's (Oasis)
1967 Gibson Firebird Non-Reverse
The wood may be the only original feature, but the history lives forever: a guitar that Noel played throughout Definitely Maybe and What's The Story?
Robert "Throb" Young's
(Primal Scream)
1989 Gibson Les Paul Standard
. . . probably. Bought from Henry Olsen, bass guitarist with Primal Scream in the Screamadelica/Give Out But Don't Give Up years, a beautiful Les Paul Standard that keeps Robert Young's legacy alive.
Noel Gallagher's (Oasis)
1963 Gibson B-45-12 N
Played extensively, if behind the scenes, during the Definitely Maybe and What's The Story? years, a gem of a guitar with a huge warm tone - not to mention one of the earliest of Gibson's B-45-12s.
2012 Gibson Custom Kirk Hammett Signature Flying V,
as played by Kirk Hammett
#3 of only 50 signed, numbered and noodled on by Kirk Hammett, a Gibson Custom Shop detail-perfect recreation of Kirk's workhorse through the early Metallica years.
Kimberley Rew's
(Katrina & The Waves)
1989 Gibson SG 62 Reissue
1997. Happy days. The last time the UK won Eurovision . . . this guitar used by writer/guitarist Kimberley Rew on the recording of Katrina & The Waves' winning anthem, "Love Shine A Light"
Justin Young's (The Vaccines)
2009 Danelectro Dead On 67
So good, he bought two! One of two Dead On 67s played extensively in the studio, live and on video by Justin Hayward-Young of The Vaccines. With original strap, gaffer-taped in case of high-energy performance.
