The Story
Noel Gallagher recorded the rhythm guitar for "Wonderwall" using an Epiphone Casino through a Vox AC30 amplifier, with MXR Dyna Comp compression. The Casino's semi-hollow body and P-90 pickups provided the jangly character, while the AC30 contributed its signature British chime. The recording was done at Rockfield Studios in Wales with producer Owen Morris.

Recreation Tips
- Start with a semi-hollow guitar equipped with P-90 pickups; if that's not available, use single coil pickups.
- Use a Vox AC30 amplifier or an amp model that emulates its characteristics.
- Add a touch of compression to even out the dynamics and add sustain.
- Experiment with light chorus or tremolo to add movement and depth to the sound.
- Consider double-tracking the guitar part and panning the tracks slightly to create a wider stereo image.
