Gibson has launched Custom and Epiphone replicas of the Back to the Future ES-345

With its hunt for the long-lost Back to the Future electric guitar still ongoing, Gibson has celebrated its connection to the Hollywood hit and made good on earlier teases by releasing not one, but two, replicas of the ES-345 that starred in the film.

2025 marks the 40th anniversary of the first Back to the Future film, which, thanks to its iconic ‘Enchantment Under the Sea’ school dance scene, is firmly cemented in guitar lore.

After all, when Michael J. Fox’s character Marty McFly picked up an (historically inaccurate yet incredibly classy) ES-345 to rip through Johnny B. Goode during the film’s third act, it became a source of inspiration for generations of guitarists – Gibson’s Mark Agnesi included.
