"Noel [Gallagher] still has the Les Paul. It was a 1960 sunburst (refinished) that was given to Pete Townshend by Joe Walsh. The machine heads were replaced before I got it. I used it on "Panic" by The Smiths, also "London", "Ask" and "Half A Person"."
This was one of Johnny's main live guitars during 1986. It has a very pronounced flame top, and more of a cherry finish than his '59 Les Paul. The bridge humbucker is uncovered with white/cream bobbins. This guitar was previously owned by Pete Townshend, and I'm assuming that it was in the group of guitars that Johnny bought from Alan Rogan. It was given to Noel Gallagher in 1994(seen here, here, here and here), it was used in the "Live Forever" video. Noel broke the guitar during a stage fight, and was subsequently given Johnny's 1972 Les Paul Custom as a replacement.

The Les Paul that Joe Perry uses in this is the second of Joe Perry's Burst-era Les Pauls. Most people will recognize his 1959 Les Paul, but the 1960 was one that he used a lot before getting his '59 back from Slash.
At 12:00 in this concert video, a clear shot can been seen of Gem's Les Paul.
Another of his Les Paul Standards was featured on "Chinese Burn" music video, done by Heavy Stereo. He can be seen playing this Les Paul throughout the video.
