Gibson Celebrates 40 Years of ‘Back to the Future’ with Special ES-345 Guitar Collection
It’s been 40 years since the iconic film ‘Back to the Future’ first hit the big screens and captured the hearts of millions around the world. To celebrate this milestone, Gibson, the legendary guitar brand, has launched a limited edition ES-345 Collector’s Edition inspired by the iconic guitar used in the film.
This special edition guitar is a dream come true for fans of the film and guitar enthusiasts alike. With only 88 units available worldwide, it is a collector’s item that is sure to sell out quickly. So, if you want to get your hands on this piece of movie and music history, you better act fast.
The ES-345 Collector’s Edition is a replica of the guitar used by Marty McFly, played by Michael J. Fox, in the famous ‘Enchantment Under the Sea’ dance scene in the film. The guitar features a semi-hollow body, a maple top, and back, and a mahogany center block, just like the original. It also has a Bigsby vibrato tailpiece, just like the one used in the film, and a stunning gold finish that adds to its vintage charm.
But what sets this guitar apart is the attention to detail and the special features that make it a true collector’s item. The headstock of the guitar features the iconic ‘Back to the Future’ logo, and the back of the headstock is engraved with the film’s release date, ‘1985’. The guitar also comes with a certificate of authenticity, signed by the film’s co-writer and producer, Bob Gale, and the legendary guitarist and songwriter, Huey Lewis, who contributed to the film’s soundtrack.
Speaking about the launch of this special edition guitar, Bob Gale said, “I’m blown away by the attention to detail and the quality of this guitar. It’s a perfect replica of the one used in the film, and I’m sure fans of the movie will be thrilled to own it.” Huey Lewis added, “It’s a great honor to be a part of this project and to celebrate the 40th anniversary of ‘Back to the Future’ with this amazing guitar.”
The launch of the ES-345 Collector’s Edition also marks the 40th anniversary of Gibson’s partnership with the film’s music supervisor, Bob Zemeckis. Gibson has been a part of many iconic films and TV shows over the years, but ‘Back to the Future’ holds a special place in their hearts. The film’s theme song, ‘The Power of Love’ by Huey Lewis and the News, featured a Gibson ES-345, and it became a chart-topping hit, winning an Academy Award and a Grammy.
The limited edition guitar is not just a tribute to the film but also a celebration of the timeless appeal of Gibson guitars. The ES-345 is a popular choice among musicians for its versatility and unique sound. It has been used by some of the biggest names in the music industry, including Chuck Berry, B.B. King, and Eric Clapton.
