GIBSON LAUNCHES GLOBAL SEARCH FOR MISSING GUITAR FROM THE ICONIC 80s FILM ‘BACK TO THE FUTURE’
NASHVILLE, TN — Today, Gibson, the iconic and leading instrument brand, has launched a global search for the world-renowned Cherry Red Gibson ES-345™ guitar that Michael J. Fox played during the 80s smash hit BACK TO THE FUTURE, which became the highest-grossing film of 1985 worldwide. The stunning guitar was showcased during the beloved film’s unforgettable “Enchantment Under the Sea” school dance scene, a pop culture moment that has inspired many musicians to pick up guitars for the very first time after witnessing Marty McFly (aka Michael J. Fox) play Chuck Berry’s legendary song “Johnny B. Goode.” During the making of the sequel to the film, the filmmakers went to look for the guitar, and it was nowhere to be found. Now, music fans worldwide have the chance to help Gibson find the most important guitar in cinema history.
