henrywise10 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Anyone able to help, I’m thinking of purchasing the Epiphone Uptown Kat ES, and am looking to get a similar tone to the first two oasis albums. With an overdrive pedal Would this guitar do the job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) Hi Looks like a nice guitar - should get pretty close to what you want BUT I haven't heard or played one. If you repost this query in the Forum section "Epiphone Electrics" you might get a better answer! Best wishes. 🎸 Edited November 19, 2020 by jdgm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanHenry Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Hi Henry and welcome to the forum, I don't have personal experience of this guitar but I can't imagine that you'd have any problems achieving the Oasis sound, however I think your choice of amplifier may have a bigger impact on it than the guitar.

cunningham26 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 The uptown will probably do the job- the first two albums were mostly noel on an epi les paul and his MIJ 80s riviera. he pretty quickly moved up into gibson LPs at that same time (famously damaging a 1960 given to him by Johnny Marr) and eventually to the 355 and USA sheraton. I wouldn't say he has all that unique a sound- any humbucker solid body or semi-hollow along with a marshall and a tubescreamer should do the trick. his use of the tape echo is probably the most unique thing. I'd say the best thing you can do would be to do as the band themselves did- don't overthink it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
