Rabs Posted June 17 Author Share Posted June 17 2 hours ago, Phil OKeefe said: I just recently learned during production of the movie, someone (Norm Harris?) actually pointed out to the directors of Back to the Future that a Gibson ES-345 didn't exist in 1955, but apparently, they wanted to use one anyway since they felt they had "creative license" to do so. That inaccuracy is one of the few things that has always bugged me about an otherwise quite enjoyable trilogy. Found it - here's where I saw that: https://www.guitarworld.com/news/back-to-the-future-fender-strat-instead-of-gibson-es-345 Well I think it tied in to the whole "this is your cousin Marvin BERRY" joke too much for them to care... It is still a great film though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Spence Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 It shouldn’t be much of a mystery. He’s been playing a Gibson 12-string on “Love Of My Life” since the last U.S. tour. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
