If the following news story gives you a little déjà vu then it is both understandable and thematically appropriate, because Gibson has just unveiled its previously teased Back To The Future ES-345, and there’s a Epiphone version, too, with both launched in time to celebrate the movie’s 40th anniversary.
The year 1985 has loomed large over the Gibson universe in recent months. In June, it launched its global campaign to hunt down the actual ES-345 that Michael J Fox as Marty McFly played in the movie – an electric guitar that has been missing since the shoot wrapped. They even hired the investigative journalists who found Paul McCartney’s missing bass guitar after over 50 years. The search is still ongoing.
