Epiphone honors Oasis reunion with Gem Archer Sheraton and Bonehead Riviera release

Epiphone marked a defining moment in modern rock this year, unveiling two signature guitars celebrating Oasis’ Live ’25 Tour and the band’s long-awaited return to global stages. The Masterbilt Gem Archer Sheraton and the Bonehead Riviera draw directly from the instruments still in the hands of Gem Archer and Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs as the iconic British group reunites for its landmark run.

The new models pay homage to the guitars linked to Oasis’ era-defining sound, while giving players worldwide access to the craftsmanship and tone that shaped generations of modern rock.

Archer model channels Sheraton legacy and tour tone

“The Epiphone Sheraton first came into my world when I borrowed Noel’s for Oasis tours and recording,” said Gem Archer, noting the guitar’s distinct clarity and punch that remain central to his sound. Returning to the Sheraton on the Live ’25 Tour, Archer said the instrument “has a ring and a clang to it… with loads of definition and clarity.”

Epiphone’s Masterbilt Gem Archer Sheraton follows Archer’s stage companion closely, with semi-hollow construction, a one-piece mahogany neck, rosewood fretboard, Gibson Mini Humbuckers, Grover tuners, and premium vintage-inspired appointments. Built to Inspired by Gibson Custom standards, it features detailed inlay work, gold hardware, a Vintage Gloss finish, and comes in both right- and left-handed versions with a hardshell case.

Bonehead Riviera salutes an enduring Oasis pillar

Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs traced his Riviera connection back to the band’s early rehearsal days in Manchester, through Knebworth, and into Liam Gallagher’s solo years. “I’m still playing my original 1984 guitar on the Oasis 2025 tour,” he said. “It plays great and sounds massive.”

His signature Bonehead Riviera reflects that history and tone, built for players chasing the foundational rhythm textures that helped push Oasis into stadium-level dominance.

Gibson’s Lee Bartram called the project a privilege, noting the Riviera and Sheraton’s deep connection to Oasis’ legacy and modern guitar culture. “I’m honored to have played a tiny part in bringing the Epiphone Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs Riviera to life,” Bartram said.

Both Artist Collection models are available globally through authorized Epiphone retailers, the Gibson Garage in London and Nashville, and online.
