Where’s Marty McFly’s guitar? Search is on for ‘Back to the Future’ prop 4 decades later
June 3, 2025
Marty McFly grabbed a guitar in “Back to the Future” and rocked out with the band at a 1950s high school dance, helping him narrowly avoid blinking out of existence before time-traveling back to the 1980s. The guitar wasn’t as lucky. Filmmakers went looking for the instrument while making the movie’s 1989 sequel, but it’s still nowhere to be found. Guitar maker Gibson has launched a search for the Cherry Red Gibson ES-345 from “Back to the Future.” The company is seeking the public’s help finding it. The campaign comes as the movie turns 40 and as Gibson produces a new documentary about the search and the film, “Lost to the Future.”
