Michael J Fox appeals for help in finding lost guitar played by Marty McFly in Back To The Future
The scene in Back To The Future where Marty McFly grabs a guitar before bursting into a rendition of Chuck Berry's Johnny B Goode is perhaps one of the most iconic in movie history.
However, in 2025 the guitar's creators might be wishing they had time-travelling capabilities of their own as the location of the Cherry Red Gibson ES-345 is a mystery 40 years after the film's release.
Gibson, based in Nashville, Texas, is asking for helping tracking down the instrument as the company produces a new documentary about the search called Lost To The Future.
Filmmakers had gone looking for the instrument while making the movie's 1989 sequel but it was nowhere to be found.
In a trailer shared on X, stars from the movie including Michael J Fox, who played Marty McFly, and Christopher Lloyd who played Doc Brown, have appealed to viewers to help try to find the guitar.
Lloyd, in the cadence of eccentric inventor Doc Brown, says in the video that the guitar has been "lost to the future".
"It's somewhere lost in the space-time continuum," says Fox. "Or it's in some Teamster's garage."
Harry Waters Jr, who played Marvin Berry in the film, says the instrument was last seen in 1985.
In the film, McFly steps in for an injured band member at a 1955 school dance before leading the band into a rendition of Johnny B Goode.
The time-traveller refers to it is an "oldie where I come from" as the 1958 song doesn't yet exist for his audience.
The students at the dance fall into an awkward silence as McFly's riffs turn increasingly wild.

Mamie Fish was no great beauty. Nor was she especially rich or well educated. But what she may have lacked in money and looks, she made up for in creativity. She was also very funny – despite what the many photographs showing her scowling grimly into the camera may suggest.

Alejandro Garnacho sparks anger among fans as he posts picture wearing fellow Man United exile Marcus Rashford's Aston Villa shirt in apparent dig at Ruben Amorim
Alejandro Garnacho has angered Manchester United supporters with a controversial post on Instagram. Garnacho shared snaps from his holiday to Ibiza which included a picture of him wearing Marcus Rashford's Aston Villa shirt. Rashford, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Villa, is set to be exiled from United's tour of the USA along with Garnacho, Antony and Jadon Sancho. Having fallen out of favour under Ruben Amorim, the quartet are set to train alone at Carrington if they are unable to find new clubs by the time the tour starts in July. Rashford showed his support for Garnacho as he commented: 'My brother' along with a heart emoji. However, many United fans certainly weren't pleased with Garnacho's post and the fact that he was wearing the shirt of a rival Premier League club. One fan wrote: 'Villa shirt? C'mon mate, get a grip'. Meanwhile, another stated: 'Really? Wearing a Villa shirt'. One supporter suggested that Garnacho and Rashford should both leave United. They wrote: 'Off you go with him. This is the reason you're no longer wanted by Amorim, your attitude. See ya'. Another fan claimed that Garnacho's decision to wear a Villa shirt was 'madness'. They wrote: 'To wear another Premier club's top is madness and proves you clearly are not mentally ready for the next level'. Furthermore, another fan stated that Rashford had lost the respect of supporters as they wrote: 'You've lost the respect of majority of United fans especially those that have backed you'. In addition, another added: 'There's a line and you just crossed it'. In other pictures Garnacho can be seen drinking with friends and relaxing in a swimming pool. Garnacho has played 144 games for United and has scored 26 goals but his future appears to lie away from the club.
