Epiphone Back to the Future ES-345 for Sale

Epiphone and the ES Series Origins

Epiphone introduced the ES-345 in 1959 as a stereo-equipped semi-hollow model alongside the ES-335 and ES-355, featuring a center block, dual humbuckers, and the innovative six-position Varitone circuit.

Back to the Future Connection

The 2022 Epiphone Back to the Future edition draws directly from the red-finished ES-345 used in the 1985 film, produced in a limited run with accurate period-correct appointments including the script logo and gold-plated parts.

Notable Players and Legacy

While the original ES-345 was played by artists such as Chuck Berry and B.B. King, the film tie-in model primarily attracts collectors rather than touring musicians, though it maintains the same playable specs as standard Epiphone ES-345s.
