Epiphone Back to the Future ES-345 - Sixties Cherry with Hardshell Case

The Epiphone Back to the Future ES-345: A Rock and Roll Time Machine

Movie-Inspired Vintage Vibe with Modern Playability

Here it is, the Epiphone time-traveling tone machine. The Epiphone Back to the Future ES-345 is a loving tribute to one of cinema’s most unforgettable performances. Inspired by Marty McFly’s electrifying rendition of “Johnny B. Goode” in the 1985 classic Back to the Future, this limited edition ES-345 captures the essence of that moment with spot-on vintage style and performance-driven specs. The iconic Sixties Cherry finish, gold hardware, and Bigsby B70 vibrato are all period-perfect, but it’s the semi-hollow construction and Alnico Classic PRO pickups that make it ready for any stage today.

Classic ES-Style Construction for Legendary Tone

Crafted with a five-ply layered maple body and solid maple center block, this semi-hollow delivers warm resonance while taming unwanted feedback. The top features elegant 4-ply binding with single-ply back and fretboard treatment for a sleek, high-end look. A spruce bracing system keeps things tight, ensuring a blend of singing sustain and punchy clarity across the entire tonal range. The LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and Bigsby B70 tailpiece pair beautifully for tuning stability and expressive vibrato, while the original-style Stop Bar studs remain in place for an authentic visual nod to its movie roots.

Comfortable Mahogany Neck with Iconic Feel

The mahogany neck sports a Rounded C profile that feels instantly familiar in the hands. Its rosewood fretboard is bound and inlaid with pearloid split parallelograms for classic ES-345 aesthetics. With 22 medium jumbo frets and a scale length of 24.75 inches, bending and articulation feel effortless. A Graph Tech nut ensures enhanced tuning stability, and the 60s Kalamazoo-style headstock, with mother-of-pearl Epiphone logo and Gibson crown inlays, rounds out the vintage-inspired build.

Versatile Electronics and Gold Hardware Appointments

Loaded with a pair of Epiphone Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers, this guitar covers everything from sweet cleans to roaring rock tones. Individual volume and tone knobs let you dial in the perfect sound, and a mono Varitone switch adds extra flexibility, providing an array of voicings to suit any style. Gold-plated hardware, Epiphone Deluxe tuners with cream keystone buttons, and black Top Hat knobs with gold inserts pull the whole aesthetic together like a well-tuned time circuit.

Collector’s Case with an Iconic Twist

Each Epiphone Back to the Future ES-345 comes in a vintage-style hardshell case adorned with custom Marvin Berry and the Starlighters graphics, making this not just a guitar, but a collectible for movie fans and tone chasers alike. Only 1,985 of these guitars exist worldwide, so if you're thinking of waiting, you better have a DeLorean. No Flux Capacitor included...sorry.
