“An important play in the history of cinema”: this legendary object back to the future has disappeared for 40 years and the actors are launching a research opinion

At the end of return to the future, Marty McFly embarks on a boosted cover of the Johnny B Good tube by Chuck Berry. The hero of time performs it while playing the guitar. The latter is a Cherry Red Gibson ES-345 and has disappeared for 40 years!

A mythical guitar

This emblematic accessory is therefore actively sought by the brand, which launched a wanted notice in a video published on YouTube on June 3. We can see the iconic actors of the saga, Michael J. Fox, Lea Thompson or Christopher Lloyd, ask for help from the public to put hands on this guitar.

“We need your help”launches the interpreter of Marty McFly. “It is somewhere, lost in the space-time continuum, or in someone's garage”adds Michael J. Fox. “No one has seen this guitar since 1985, and we have to find it”Scandes Harry Waters Jr., who plays Marvin Berry in the cult scene Johnny B Good.

Global treasure hunt

As for Bob Gale, creator and screenwriter of the trilogy, he evokes “An important play in the history of cinema”. “Ask your friends, relationships or members of your group”insists Harry Waters Jr. “If you know where it is or if you know who has it, call us”underlines Michael J. Fox.

Fans returning to the future are therefore invited by the film of the film to collaborate for a giant treasure hunt! Who knows, maybe this famous guitar is hidden in the closet of a French musician and that he is not even aware of the value of the latter.

“We would be so grateful to you … Otherwise, we will face a temporal paradox”concludes Christopher Lloyd with humor, a legendary interpreter of Doc Emmett Brown in the return saga to the future. The Gibson brand has provided a telephone number and a website to bring together information: Losttothefuture.com. If you have pipes, don't hesitate to get there! And as Indy would say: its place is in a museum!
