"Gibson recruits the investigative journalists responsible for locating Paul McCartney's lost Hofner violin bass to aid in the search for the vanished Back to the Future ES-345"
In an exciting turn of events, Gibson, the renowned guitar manufacturer, has enlisted the investigative services of Scott and Naomi Jones, the duo behind The Lost Bass Project, to locate a one-of-a-kind guitar from the classic film Back to the Future.
The Joneses, known for their successful recovery of Paul McCartney's missing Höfner bass guitar from 1972, are now on a mission to find the Cherry Red Gibson ES-345 guitar that Michael J. Fox wielded as Marty McFly in the 1985 sci-fi film.
Scott Jones, a veteran journalist with stints at The Telegraph, The Mail, and the BBC, and Naomi Jones, a former researcher for the BBC and Channel 4, bring their investigative expertise to Gibson's team. They will be sifting through public tips and leads in the ongoing search for the missing iconic guitar.
The guitar was originally planned to be a Stratocaster, but an ES-345 was used instead. The public is encouraged to check their guitars and send pictures to [email protected] if they believe they might have the missing Back to the Future guitar.
The search for the guitar coincides with the 40th anniversary of the film's release, and it is the goal to reunite the guitar with Michael J. Fox. The guitar was used in the 'Enchantment Under the Sea' dance scene, where Fox, as Marty McFly, performed Johnny B. Goode.
The guitar's significance extends beyond its on-screen role, as it has inspired musicians such as John Mayer and Chris Martin from Coldplay. Interestingly, due to a props team error, the guitar used in the scene is said to have time-traveling abilities.
The search for the guitar is being documented for a future film, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the already captivating story. Gibson's Mark Agnesi has announced an update on the search, but has not mentioned any plans to borrow the guitar for promotional purposes or any compensation for the owner.
