“I would love to get that guitar back. Every other Strat I picked up didn’t have the same feeling”: How Warren Haynes turned to Les Pauls after his favourite Strat was stolen

Last month, Gibson put out an all-points bulletin in the search for the ES-345 that Michael J Fox’s Marty McFly played in Back To The Future. It has been missing since the movie wrapped in 1985. Gibson and the film’s producers want to get it back.

But that sweet Cherry Red ES-345 is just one of several famous electric guitars to have disappeared without trace. Some have been missing for decades. People have been looking for Eric Clapton’s “Beano” Les Paul ever since it was stolen in 1966 but to no avail. What would it be worth today?
