This guitar is best known for its appearance in the Familiar to Millions live DVD, recorded at Wembley Stadium in July 2000. During the concert, Noel used it for performances of Go Let It Out, Wonderwall, and Don’t Look Back in Anger.
But aside from that, Noel also used this guitar at various different dates during the Standing on the Shoulder of Giants/Brotherly Love tour, and it appears to have been his favorite single-coil pickup guitar around this time (2000/01)

Acording to an interview Noel did in 2000, the guitar was an 80s model, and the original pickups were swapped with Seymour Duncan Antiquities.
I have really been enjoying lately playing a 1980 pink fender Tellicaster guitar with Seymore Duncan antique pickups.

In case you’re not familiar with the “Pink Paisley” Telecaster, this guitar originally debuted in 1968 as part of Fender’s “Summer of Love” inspired models. The second model in the series was the “Blue Flower” Telecaster, featuring a blue background with bright floral patterns. Over the years, Fender has reissued the Pink Paisley Telecaster several times, and Noel’s guitar likely belongs to the 1980s Japanese reissue series.
