Gibson has successfully found an iconic electric guitar from Back to the Future, uncovering its “entire chain of ownership” since it was sold from Norman’s Rare Guitars back in the day, but – and it’s a big but – it is not the one it was looking for.
It’s not the iconic Gibson guitar from the original Back to the Future, the original Cherry Red ES-345 that Michael J Fox as Marty McFly played during the Enchantment Under the Sea dance. That's when he gave the class of 1955 a taste of some 1985 hard-rock flavor in his performance of Johnny B. Goode. It went missing as soon as the movie had wrapped.
