JAKARTA - Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs takes care of history with his own hands. This aging guitarist has been part of Oasis' career journey from the beginning until now.
He tried to maintain good relations with his fellow personnel, including the Gallagher brothers. But it didn't stop there, he also took care of the legendary guitar that started the founding of Oasis.
Bonehead admits that he has been using the same guitar since 1984. The instrument is an 1984 Riviera Epiphone with an iconic sunburst character, which has been his weapon on stage for three decades.
The guitar witnessed the beginning of Oasis' career when he was still angry at The Water Rats, London. Who would have thought, the tool is still a mainstay and enters a new phase in the era of the Oasis reunion.
The guitar sound was also enshrined on two Oasis albums, namely Definitely Maybe (1984) and (What's The Story) Morning Glory (1995).

To appreciate the history deposited in the guitar, Bonehead collaborated with Epiphone to release a new version. Replica from this legendary guitar will be produced in a limited number.
"Epiphone Riviars telah mendampingi saya sejak latihan awal di Boardwalk Manchester hingga pertunjukan bersejarah di Knebworth, dan hingga karier solo Liam," kata Paul mengutip NME, 4 November.
"I'm still playing my original guitar from 1984 on the 2025 Oasis tour, and I'm not going to exchange it for anything," he said.
The Oasis Live '25 reunion concert will continue until this month. After that Liam Gallagher Cs will take a short break before deciding whether there is a follow-up schedule for 2026.
