A semi-hollow electric with vintage tone, iconic style and film history pedigree.

"I guess you guys aren’t ready for that yet but your kids are gonna love it." With that legendary line, Marty McFly cemented one of the most iconic guitar scenes in movie history. The Epiphone Back to the Future ES-345 captures that moment through a limited run of 1,985 guitars. This stunning instrument flaunts a familiar cherry red finish and features a five-ply maple semi-hollowbody, rounded C neck profile, solid center block and spruce bracing for ample resonance and feedback control. Gold hardware, a Bigsby B70 vibrato and Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers round out the package, giving you a versatile six-string that really cooks. Equal parts stage-ready guitar and cinematic keepsake, the Back to the Future ES-345 puts music and movie history in your hands. No Flux Capacitor required.

Semi-Hollow Maple Body With Vintage Detail

Few guitars turn heads before you even strike a chord but this one does. The Epiphone Back to the Future ES-345 features a five-ply layered maple semi-hollowbody with a solid maple center block and spruce bracing for rich resonance and feedback control. Four-ply top binding and single-ply back binding highlight its period-correct construction, capturing the look of a golden-era classic. This combination of tonewoods delivers balanced warmth, sustain and unmistakable stage presence just like the legendary ES-345 that made movie history.

Alnico Classic PRO Pickups and Varitone Circuit

Power and versatility come from a pair of Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers that deliver the warmth and bite semi-hollow players crave. Each pickup has independent volume and tone controls while the mono Varitone switch adds even more tonal variety. Whether you’re chasing sparkling cleans or gritty leads (or even EVH-inspired tapping à la Marty McFly) the Epiphone ES-345’s wide tonal palette makes it as gig-ready as it is collectible.

Bigsby B70 Tailpiece and Gold Hardware

Every detail has been recreated to honor the movie’s guitar. Gold hardware, an Epiphone LockTone Tune-o-Matic bridge and a Bigsby B70 vibrato tailpiece mirror the onscreen instrument. Even the original Stop Bar studs remain, a subtle nod to the prop’s authenticity. Lastly, cream Keystone tuner buttons and vintage-style knobs complete the retro aesthetic while ensuring reliability and smooth performance.

Mahogany Neck With Rosewood Fingerboard

Sometimes the feel of a neck is where the magic lives. The ES-345’s mahogany neck features a comfortable rounded C profile for effortless playability. Its bound rosewood fingerboard hosts 22 medium-jumbo frets and pearloid split parallelogram inlays that blend vintage style with modern feel. The Kalamazoo-style headstock displays the Epiphone logo and Gibson Crown in mother of pearl and is finished with a Graph Tech nut for tuning stability.

Film-Accurate Details With a Timeless Twist

No fan will miss the thoughtful nods built into this limited run. A Hill Valley Music store decal on the back of the headstock cements the connection to the film’s setting while the vintage-style hardshell case decorated with Marvin Berry and the Starlighters graphics completes the package. Of course, there’s one delightful temporal inconsistency that fans will appreciate—the ES-345 didn’t debut until 1958, three years after Marty McFly’s 1955 performance. That charming cinematic slip has become part of the guitar’s legend and this recreation turns that on-screen gaffe into rock and roll mythology. With only 1,985 units available worldwide, the Back to the Future ES-345 is more than a tribute—it’s a rare instrument that celebrates Epiphone’s dedication to honoring guitar heritage. Don’t miss your chance to own a slice of cinematic and music history.
