What would the iconic dance scene in Back to the Future<\/em> be without Marty McFly\u2019s Gibson ES-345, and above all, without Johnny B. Goode<\/em>? Undoubtedly, it would be far less rock\u2019n\u2019roll!<\/strong><\/p>\n Chuck Berry is an absolute reference, a rock\u2019n\u2019roll master who has stood the test of time, surely securing his place as the undisputed pioneer. His playful, choreographed style, inimitable riffs, and flashes of genius made him an obvious legend. At Matt\u2019s Guitar Shop, we have had the opportunity to pay tribute to him several times.<\/p>\n First, with the remarkable relic that was Terry Gibson\u2019s 1964 black Gibson Firebird. Beneath its captivating black patina, this guitar carried a wonderful piece of rock history. In addition to being played by an English musician alongside legends like Gene Vincent and Bo Diddley, it was also played on stage by Chuck Berry! And then, how could we not mention the famous Back to the Future 1955 ES-345<\/em>?

This particularly mojoed guitar was used by the rock master on the vast Wembley stage in London during the London Rock and Roll Show<\/em> in 1972, where Chuck Berry took it to close his performance. A photo from that moment was even used as the cover for a double album! Now sold, this guitar allowed us at the time to celebrate Chuck Berry\u2019s unique talent.<\/p>\n
This tribute series launched by Gibson celebrates Marty McFly\u2019s iconic red guitar from the 1955 dance, legendary in many ways. Designed to create a truly rock\u2019n\u2019roll scene ahead of its time, this scene naturally has Marty playing a Chuck Berry hit \u2014 and what better than Johnny B. Goode<\/em>! This exceptional series, accompanied by amazing movie goodies, is certainly more tied to Back to the Future<\/em> than to Chuck Berry\u2026 but their destinies are closely linked!<\/p>\n
