The iconic *Back to the Future* dance scene wouldn\u2019t be the same without Marvin Berry and the Starlighters \u2014 and especially without Marty McFly\u2019s famous Gibson ES-345. Buckle up\u2026 the guitar is back! Well, almost!<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n It\u2019s probably one of the most famous guitars in cinema history. Who doesn\u2019t marvel at the moment Marty grabs a Gibson ES-345 to ignite the dance and steal the spotlight from the band? With it, he plays Johnny B. Goode<\/em>, inspiring generations of musicians and captivating hundreds of thousands of viewers. Though it has survived the years on screen without losing any of its magic, the guitar was lost after filming, prompting a massive international search (still ongoing!) to track it down. Can it take us back to that famous 1955 dance, like the DeLorean? We\u2019ll have to find it to know!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The guitar was originally rented from Norman\u2019s Rare Guitars in Los Angeles in 1985 for the film, then vanished. Its trail was lost, but its place in the imagination of fans remains. Alongside this hunt, Gibson paid tribute to this legendary instrument with two limited editions \u2014 both available at Matt\u2019s Guitar Shop.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The first, Back to the Future 1955 ES-345 Collector\u2019s Edition<\/em>, is the more precious of the two. Limited to 88 pieces worldwide, a nod to the 88 miles per hour the DeLorean needed to travel through time, this guitar comes with goodies for superfans (newspaper clippings, dance posters, even a flux capacitor\u2026) and faithfully reproduces a vintage ES. The second, an Epiphone version, is limited to 1,985 pieces in reference to the film\u2019s release year but impresses with its quality.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Both guitars preserve a key detail (the anomaly!) from the original: the solid twelfth-fret inlay, unlike the cracked ones of the period \u2014 not typical for ES-345s of that era; the dance band case inscription; and a gold plate on the back of the headstock featuring the Hill Valley Music logo. A tribute edition that delights cinephiles and guitar enthusiasts worldwide! Great Scott, it\u2019s time to play \u2014 your kids will love it!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.matts-guitar-shop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/gibson-es-345-marty-mcfly-01.jpg” alt=”Gibson ES-345″ title_text=”gibson-es-345-marty-mcfly-01″ show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.matts-guitar-shop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/nom-de-zeus-marty-ta-guitare-est-de-retour-1.jpg” alt=”Gibson ES-345 – chuck berry” title_text=”nom-de-zeus-marty-ta-guitare-est-de-retour” show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” custom_margin=”15px||||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_button button_url=”@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjIwNiJ9fQ==@” button_text=”Back to all news” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _dynamic_attributes=”button_url” _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”16px” button_bg_color=”#FFFFFF” button_border_width=”0px” button_border_radius=”0px” button_icon=”||fa||400″ button_on_hover=”off” custom_padding=”7px|36px|7px|20px|true|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Marty McFly\u2019s legendary Gibson ES-345, star of the Back to the Future dance, is back!
