Liam Gallagher wrecked the red Gibson at a
festival in the French capital in 2009, shortly before the band
had been due on stage, in a fit of fury that was to become a
cult moment in music history.
It was later painstakingly repaired by a French luthier.
"This 1960 Gibson 355 serial #A34884 was the guitar that Liam
Gallagher smashed up in Paris 2009 the night Oasis split up,"
Noel Gallagher wrote in a note presented with the guitar.
"It was also my #1 favourite guitar that I used to both writing
and recording using it on many Oasis recordings as well as using
it live! Peace, love + bananas!!"
Formed in Manchester in 1991, Oasis had its heyday at the height
of Britpop fame in the 1990s, with hits such as "Don’t Look Back
In Anger" and "Wonderwall".
But the brothers’ famous feuds led to a break-up in 2009, after
tempers flared at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris, prompting
Noel to quit the group
