BREAKING: Epiphone has just unveiled the highly anticipated Masterbilt Gem Archer Sheraton guitar, a striking new artist model inspired by the original Sheraton played by Oasis guitarist Gem Archer. This timely release coincides with Archer’s participation in the Oasis Live ’25 tour, bringing nostalgia and excitement to fans everywhere.
Guitar enthusiasts and fans of Oasis should take note: the Masterbilt Gem Archer Sheraton is not just another model; it embodies the essence of the music that defined a generation. Archer, who has long been associated with the Sheraton, says, “It’s got a ring and a clang to it, with loads of definition and clarity that I haven’t found in any other model.” This guitar promises to deliver that signature sound, providing players with the quality they crave.
Epiphone’s new release features a semi-hollowbody design crafted from premium five-ply layered maple and poplar, ensuring enhanced sustain and feedback resistance. The Masterbilt model includes top-notch components like USA-made Gibson Mini Humbucker pickups, which provide a rich, powerful sound. With a retail price of $2,999, this guitar is set to become a must-have for serious musicians.
Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs, another Oasis legend, shared his enthusiasm for the new Epiphone Riviera model, which he has been playing since the band’s early days. He exclaimed, “I’m still playing my original 1984 guitar on the Oasis 2025 tour, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.” This excitement resonates with long-time fans who have followed the band from the Boardwalk in Manchester to the iconic Knebworth shows.
Lee Bartram, Head of Commercial and Marketing EMEA at Gibson, added, “2025 is turning out to be quite the year for live music, and we’re thrilled to play a small part in paying tribute to one of the greatest reunions of the 21st century!” His remarks highlight the broader significance of this moment in music history, as artists and fans alike celebrate the legacy of Oasis.
The Masterbilt Gem Archer Sheraton’s construction mirrors Epiphone’s commitment to quality, featuring a one-piece mahogany neck with a comfortable 60s C profile and an elegant rosewood fretboard. It’s adorned with stunning mother-of-pearl inlays, gold hardware, and comes equipped with high-quality Grover® Rotomatic® tuning machines.
This guitar is available in both right- and left-handed versions, complete with a sturdy Epiphone hardshell case to protect it on the road.
