Where is Marty McFly’s Missing Guitar? Fans Launch Search for Iconic Instrument
04/06/2025 – In a nostalgic call to action for fans of the Back to the Future franchise, the search is on for Marty McFly’s famous cherry red ES-345 Gibson guitar, last seen in the 1985 film during the unforgettable "Johnny B. Goode" performance at a high school dance.
In a captivating video, original cast members Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, and Harry Waters Jr. have united with Gibson Guitars to appeal for assistance in locating the missing instrument. Lloyd humorously reflects, "The guitar has been lost to the future," while Fox speculates, "It’s somewhere lost in the space-time continuum… Or it’s in some Teamster’s garage."
The video features a nostalgic score and even a cameo by Huey Lewis, whose band performed the film’s hit song, “The Power of Love.” Waters passionately encourages viewers, “No one’s seen that guitar since 1985, and we need to find it. Ask your friends, ask your relatives, ask your bandmates.”
Fans are invited to submit any information regarding the guitar’s whereabouts via phone or the dedicated search website. The Back to the Future trilogy, which ran from 1985 to 1990, continues to influence pop culture, inspiring everything from video games to the animated series Rick and Morty. Despite persistent rumors, writer Bob Gale has firmly stated there will be no fourth film, humorously responding to fan inquiries with, “We say, ‘Fuck you!’”
As the search gets underway, fans remain hopeful that one of cinema’s most cherished guitars will be found. "Great Scott!"—let’s bring Marty’s guitar back to where it belongs.
