‘How have we never seen it?': Filmmakers searching for missing guitar from ‘Back to the Future'
Michael J. Fox plays a Gibson ES-345 guitar during a climactic scene in the 1985 film 'Back to the Future.' (Universal Studios/YouTube) Todd Harapiak will never forget the first time he saw 'Back to the Future'. The former Manitoban was a teenager in 1985 when the movie was first released. He drove from his home in Cowan—about five hours north of Winnipeg—to sit in the Garrick Theatre and watch Marty McFly travel back in time to 1955 and try to save his parents' relationship to ensure he still exists in the future. 'It was such a pivotal moment in our lives,' Harapiak said in a recent interview, noting he watched the movie over and over when it was eventually released on home video. 'The movie really spoke to me.' Harapiak now lives in Los Angeles, where he works for Gibson Guitars as its media director. Superfans will remember it was a Gibson guitar—specifically an ES-345—that Michael J. Fox used to play 'Johnny B. Goode' at the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance, prompting Marvin Berry to call his cousin Chuck to listen to 'that new sound you're looking for.' Gibson's director of brand experience Mark Agnesi believes the scene spurred many to pick up the instrument themselves. '(Michael J. Fox) wasn't in a band and didn't have a hit record, so he kind of gets passed over on the lists of influential guitar players, but he literally inspired an entire generation to play the guitar,' he said.

(Universal Studios/YouTube) (Photo) () Despite being used in the memorable scene, the guitar itself has been missing in action for decades, and nobody knows where it is. Harapiak, Agnesi and filmmaker Doc Crotzer have spent the past six years trying to find it. The search is the subject of a documentary called 'Lost to the Future,' which includes interviews with cast members to mark the 40th anniversary of 'Back to the Future.' Their search would probably be easier if they had access to a time-travelling DeLorean. 'We could go back and grab the guitar and put it somewhere for safekeeping,' Crotzer said. 'This guitar has never surfaced' Here's what is known about the guitar. It was a cherry red Gibson ES-345, believed to be from 1960 or 1961. It was rented from Norman's Rare Guitars in Tarzana, Cali. in 1985 for the filming of 'Back to The Future.' The guitar was returned to the store after filming, but may have been sold at some point. But to whom is unknown. Back To The Future Guitar A Gibson model ES-345 guitar is seen June 5, 2025, in Nashville, Tenn. (AP Photo/George Walker IV) (George Walker IV/AP) 'We're not in the era of digital receipts; we're not in the era of things being tracked the way they inherently are now,' Crotzer said. Coincidentally, Agnesi was the general manager of Norman's Rare Guitars from 2009 to 2019 and remembers spending hours looking for the guitar, to no avail. 'All I know is there's been massive guitar displays at the Metropolitan Museum, Hard Rock Cafes, Rock and Roll Hall of Fames - all of these different things, and this guitar has never surfaced,' he said. 'It's one of the most important guitars ever, definitely the most important guitar of our generation. How have we never seen it?' The guitar does have one distinctive feature that sets it apart from other similar guitars. Agnesi said the ES-345 typically has split parallelogram inlays—small blocks of wood between all the fret marks. The 12th fret on the guitar in the movie doesn't have a split inlay. Having exhausted all options, the group has created a website to get the word out on their plans for the movie and to get tips from people around the world about where the guitar might be. They received hundreds in the first week and will begin sifting through them to find their next lead. The search is a labour of love from three people with a shared passion for the classic film. 'As hard as it is when you're talking about trying to find a needle in a haystack that's the size of the globe, we've been so fortunate to have these moments where we all kind of look around at each other, saying to each other, 'Can you believe we're doing this?'' Crotzer said. 'It's been really special in that way, because even though we each experienced 'Back to the Future' individually as kids, there is this like common bond and this common experience of what the movie did for us that the three of us feel together.' Anyone with tips can reach out to the group on the 'Lost to the Future' website.

Huey Lewis: ‘I got picked up hitchhiking in America by an ex-convict'
The lead singer of Huey Lewis and the News retired from performing in 2018 having suffered hearing loss for years. His band hit the big time with their third album, Sports, in 1983, which sold over 30 million copies. Their 1984 album Fore! spent 52 weeks in the UK charts and The Power of Love single featured in the Michael J Fox hit film Back to the Future. Lewis, 74, lives on a ranch in Montana. Aged 17 I spent a year bumming around broke in Europe, often sleeping by the side of the road, but it helped me to find my future. I stowed away on a plane to London after somebody that picked me up hitchhiking across America told me how to do it. It was 1967, the Summer of Love, and I sat on a TWA bench at New York's Idlewild [now John F Kennedy] Airport for three days. Then I befriended a pre-computers counter attendant who got me on a flight to London. The trick involved a silver pen for writing my flight and seat number on a special ticket … and generally making myself invisible. Hitchhiking from Spain to Portugal, I lost my passport after a ride with a slightly hammered Dutch guy in his 1930 Chevrolet, which ended up in a river. I had to go back to the embassy in Seville for another. But the fee was $20 and I had to busk to raise it, playing with a harmonica. Some students liked my act, heard I needed money and threw a concert for me: my first, and very nerve-wracking. I not only got the $20 but a bell went off in my head: this is what I want to do. I love British people, even though in the Seventies I toured in the band Clover with Thin Lizzy and got booed off every stage around the UK. When we became big in America, in 1983, I told my manager I wanted to go to Europe. The record companies gasped because we'd sold zero records there until then. But we went, playing at tiny clubs and London's Marquee Club, and we ended up with gold records in most of Europe. Childhood holidays in Marin County, California, were always camping, fishing or sailing with my brother and parents. Or we'd pack up our little car and go abalone-diving on the California coast. My dad and I went fly-fishing a lot and had close calls sailing, once getting stranded in San Francisco Bay and having to wait four hours for the tide to come back in. • Read our full guide to California Nowadays I never travel without my hearing aids. I have a cochlear implant in my left side that enables me to hear because I'm mostly deaf. My hearing's so bad I can't perform any more or hear music when I sing. So you might as well fish! Fishing's wonderful for hearing-impaired people because fish don't talk. • 10 of the best places to visit in the US I live on a river in Montana where we fish all the time, and I have my own drift boat and raft. I've had Nick Faldo in my boat, Jimmy Kimmel, Kevin Costner, Michael Keaton … my fishing pals. Every year I go down to Espiritu Santo Bay in Mexico with a group to fish for permit, bonefish and baby tarpon. I go steelhead (trout) river fishing in British Columbia, my biggest a 38-inch, 25-pound on a dry fly; and I've caught a 120-pound tarpon in Florida. My travel style is a mix of camping and five-star hotels. If you want to put it all together, I love Poronui, in Taharua Valley in New Zealand, which is a world-class fly fishing lodge meets luxury hotel. I also fish for trout in Scotland and, as a golfer (handicap 7) have played 16 times in the annual pro-am Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in St Andrews and Carnoustie. • Read our full guide to New Zealand Some holidays have been pretty seat of your pants, like trout fishing in Bristol Bay, Alaska, where you'd be in a tiny seaplane taking off from, and landing in, rivers. Seeing bears, moose and cranes was great; you just hoped the pilots knew what they were doing. I was nearly mugged in Morocco once, until the thieves realised I had nothing for them to take. Another time I got picked up hitchhiking in America by an ex-convict who siphoned gas at night all the way from southern California to Denver, Colorado. I had $200 on me but wasn't telling Heart of Rock and Roll, a musical featuring Huey Lewis and The News's music, finished its Broadway run last year and is expected to reach the UK in 2026 In our weekly My Hols interview, famous faces – from the worlds of film, sport, music, politics, and more – share their travel stories from childhood to the present day.
