Epiphone has built a faithful tribute to that moment — only 1985 units worldwide, each one pulled straight from the Hill Valley playbook with cherry red gloss, gold hardware, a Bigsby out the back, and a vintage hardshell case decked out in Marvin Berry \u0026amp; the Starlighters artwork. Movie nostalgia meets a properly playable semi-hollow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA pop-culture icon, faithfully reborn\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ES-345 turned up on Marty McFly's strap in 1985 and ripped through Johnny B. Goode in front of a crowd that hadn't even invented rock 'n' roll yet. This Epiphone tribute captures every visual cue from that scene — right down to the cherry red gloss, the gold hardware, and a Hill Valley Music decal on the back of the headstock. Production is capped at 1985 units worldwide as a nod to the year the film hit cinemas, so once they're gone, that's it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e5-ply maple semi-hollow body with a solid centerblock\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt around the classic ES-335 body silhouette, the body uses a five-ply layered maple shell wrapped around a solid maple centerblock — the construction that gives this family its trademark blend of warmth, snap and feedback control at louder volumes. Spruce bracing keeps the top stable, four-ply binding wraps the top edge, and single-ply binding cleans up the back. The Cherry Red gloss finish is unmistakable from across a room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMahogany neck, rosewood board, classic ES-345 feel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mahogany neck is shaped to a Rounded C profile that fills the hand without feeling chunky, glued in for solid sustain. A bound rosewood fretboard runs a 12\" (304.8mm) radius across 22 medium jumbo frets, capped with the pearloid split parallelogram inlays that have always set the ES-345 apart from its 335 sibling. Nut width is a comfortable 43mm (1.69\") on a Graph Tech nut, with the standard Gibson 24.75\" scale length keeping the string tension feeling familiar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAlnico Classic PRO humbuckers and a mono Varitone\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers do the heavy lifting — sweet and articulate at the neck, punchy and present at the bridge. Each pickup gets its own volume and tone, with a 3-way toggle for the obvious switching and a mono Varitone for the not-so-obvious tonal shaping. It's a deeper palette than your average semi-hollow, and it lives up to the ES-345 name without straying into anything too modern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGold hardware, Bigsby vibrato \u0026amp; movie-accurate details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardware is gold across the board — Epiphone LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge, gold pickup covers, gold tuner plating, gold Varitone switchwasher. The Bigsby B70 vibrato tailpiece is the cherry on top, and matching the on-screen guitar, the Stop Bar studs are still mounted into the body alongside the Bigsby rather than removed. Up at the headstock you get the 60s Kalamazoo shape with mother-of-pearl Epiphone logo and Gibson Crown inlays, and Epiphone Deluxe tuners running cream Keystone buttons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHill Valley hardshell case included — and set up by our techs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar ships in a vintage-style hardshell case with full Marvin Berry \u0026amp; the Starlighters graphics on the lid — the case is half the appeal of this release on its own. Set up in-store by Guitar World Australia's techs before it ships to you, so you can plug in and play Johnny B. Goode the second it arrives. No flux capacitor required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEpiphone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBack to the Future ES-345 (EIBTTFGH1)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eFinish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCherry Red Gloss\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eBody Shape\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eES-335\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eBody Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5-ply Layered Maple\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eCenterblock\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSolid Maple\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eBracing\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpruce\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eBinding\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4-ply Top, Single-ply Back \u0026amp;
