MOVIE GUITAR HAS BEEN MISSING

Opinion: Does Homecoming live up to its hype? – The McHenry Messenger

NASHVILLE, TN. (KATU) — The search is on for an iconic guitar
used in a major motion picture, and you could help find it.

Gibson and Michael J. Fox say the Cherry Red Gibson ES-345
guitar played on stage has been missing for 40 years.

The guitar was featured during the “Enchantment Under The
Sea” school dance scene when Marty McFly played “Johnny
B. Goode.”

Officials say that during the making of the film, filmmakers went
to look for the guitar, and it was nowhere to be found.

Along with the hunt for the missing Gibson ES-345 and to further celebrate the 40th anniversary of “Back to the Future” this year,
Gibson Films has now started production on a new documentary
film titled “LOST TO THE FUTURE”.

If you have tips about the guitar or know where it is, you are
asked to contact Gibson at 1-855-345-1955 or on the web at
www.losttothefuture.com.
