Michael J. Fox appeals for help finding lost Back to the Future guitar
LOS ANGELES 鈥 Michael J. Fox and other stars of classic film Back to the Future appealed for the public鈥檚 help on Tuesday in locating the red Gibson guitar featured in a memorable scene.
Marty McFly, the time-traveling teen portrayed by Mr. Fox in the 1985 film, stunned students at a 1950s high school dance with wild electric guitar riffs played on a Gibson ES-345 Cherry Red guitar in the movie.
The guitar went missing after production wrapped.
鈥淚t鈥檚 somewhere lost in the space-time continuum, or it鈥檚 in some Teamster鈥檚 garage,鈥 Mr. Fox joked in a video released by Gibson.
Co-stars Lea Thompson, Christopher Lloyd, and Harry Waters, Jr. also urged the public to join the search, as did singer Huey Lewis, whose song 鈥淭he Power of Love鈥 was featured in the movie.
Gibson is filming a documentary called Lost to the Future about the search for the guitar. It also plans to re-issue the ES-345 Cherry Red in October.
