Epiphone - Limited Back to the Future ES-345 - Cherry Red #EIBTTFGB
The Gibson ES-345™ electric guitar holds a special place in pop culture history, largely thanks to its memorable appearance in the 1985 film Back to the Future. In one of the movie’s most iconic scenes, Michael J. Fox’s character, Marty McFly, performs an electrifying rendition of Johnny B. Goode at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance. Although the ES-345 was introduced in 1959, the guitar fits seamlessly into the film’s 1955 setting, providing a touch of anachronistic magic. This moment not only cemented the Gibson ES-345’s legacy in cinema but also solidified its status as a beloved icon in the world of rock ’n’ roll. Now, fans can own a replica of this legendary guitar at an accessible price with the Epiphone Back to the Future ES-345.

The Gibson ES-345™ electric guitar holds a special place in pop culture history, largely thanks to its memorable appearance in the 1985 film Back to the Future. In one of the movie’s most iconic scenes, Michael J. Fox’s character, Marty McFly, performs an electrifying rendition of Johnny B. Goode at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance. Although the ES-345 was introduced in 1959, the guitar fits seamlessly into the film’s 1955 setting, providing a touch of anachronistic magic. This moment not only cemented the Gibson ES-345’s legacy in cinema but also solidified its status as a beloved icon in the world of rock ’n’ roll. Now, fans can own a replica of this legendary guitar at an accessible price with the Epiphone Back to the Future ES-345. Based on the model that Michael J. Fox/Marty McFly plays in the movie, the Back to the Future ES-345 is a loving tribute to this cultural icon and features a five-ply layered maple semi-hollowbody with a solid maple centerblock for enhanced sustain and improved feedback resistance. The top has four-ply binding with single-ply binding on the back. The mahogany neck has a comfortable Rounded C profile and is topped with a single-ply bound rosewood fretboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and is adorned with pearloid split parallelogram inlays that are a hallmark of the ES-345. The 60s Kalamazoo headstock is equipped with a Graph Tech® nut and Epiphone Deluxe tuning machines with cream Keystone buttons. The Epiphone logo and Gibson Crown are inlaid in mother of pearl. On the back of the headstock, in a nod to the movie, you’ll find a Hill Valley Music store decal. The Back to the Future ES-345 has gold hardware, including an Epiphone LockTone™ Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and a Bigsby® B70 vibrato tailpiece, and just like the guitar in the movie, the original Stop Bar studs are left in place. The Back to the Future ES-345 is powered by two of Epiphone’s acclaimed Alnico Classic PRO™ pickups, each with individual volume and tone controls. A mono Varitone provides even more tonal versatility. It even comes packed in a vintage-style hardshell case with Marvin Berry and the Starlighters graphics. The Epiphone Back to the Future ES-345 is limited to only 1985 units worldwide, and they’re sure to go fast, so unless you have a flux capacitor-equipped DeLorean so that you can go back in time to get one later, you’d better grab yours now while you still can.Highlights
