A guitar once owned by Noel Gallagher was sold for £12,000 at auction in Worcestershire. The Epiphone instrument, produced in 1997, was one of several items from Huw Richards' collection. Richards, Gallagher's former front-of-house sound engineer, owned the guitar, which was one of five identical ones gifted to Gallagher by Epiphone.

Richards received the guitar after it was later passed down to him by Littleton Auctions. The auction also featured a Kangol rain jacket, sold for £2,000, and a set of unreleased Oasis recordings, known as The Desk Tapes, valued between £1.2m and £1.6m, but ultimately pulled from the auction due to a legal dispute between the band and the auction house.
