Here for sale we have an Epiphone Noel Gallagher SuperNova semi-hollow electric guitar in Vintage Sunburst finish. Made in Korea in 1997 this guitar features a set-neck construction comprising a Laminated Maple body with a Maple centre block, a Mahogany neck and 22 Medium Jumbo fret Rosewood fingerboard. The guitar is equipped with a Tune-O-Matic adjustable bridge and a stopbar tailpiece, along with a set of vintage-style tuning machines. A pair of Epiphone Alnico humbucking pickups are installed, these are wired to a 3-way toggle switch and independent volume & tone controls.
The Mahogany neck plays well, with the SlimTaper ‘C’ profile feeling slim yet comfortable in the hand and offering easy fretting in any register. The Gloss finish to the rear feels pleasant to the touch and aids easy transitions up and down the neck, whilst the 12” Rosewood fingerboard and Medium Jumbo frets provide a robust playing experience that feels rock solid under the fingers, enhancing string bending and vibrato techniques. The semi-hollow construction makes this guitar easy on the shoulders on long gigs, and the smooth lines of the body ensure that this is a comfortable guitar to play in either standing or seated positions.
The semi-hollow construction of this guitar means that it resonates and sustains very well thanks to the Maple centre block. It produces an airy tone with an unpronounced yet well defined low end, detailed upper midrange and sparkly high frequencies. The Epiphone Alnico Humbucker pickups produce a variety of tones, sounding excellent on clean and slightly overdriven settings, highly suitable for jazz, blues, country or even rock genres. The neck pickup delivers a deep, warm tone that offers clear and rounded notes. The bridge pickup gives the player a more jangly and trebly tone that provides a punchy high-mid range, however the blending of the pickups gives the best of both worlds in the middle position. A versatile package of tones, especially with the individual volume and tone controls for each pickup.
