Gibson Films has shared a first glimpse into its Lost to the Future documentary as the stars of the 1985 blockbuster smash Back to the Future come together to hunt down its iconic Cherry Red ES-345.

Earlier this week, Gibson announced it was undertaking a worldwide search for the electric guitar rented from Norman's Rare Guitars for use in the film's influential Johnny B. Goode scene. After filming wrapped, the guitar was sent back to Norman Harris' vintage guitar emporium, and no one is sure what has happened to it since.
