‘Back to the Future’ Mistakes You’ll Never Be Able to Unsee

During the Enchantment Under the Sea dance in the movie, Marty plays a cherry-red Gibson ES-345 guitar. Interestingly, this particular model didn’t actually exist until several years *after* 1955, and it includes features that weren’t available at that time. The filmmakers chose it because it captured the energy of Chuck Berry’s music, even though it wasn’t historically accurate. The movie’s star has since admitted the mistake, and guitar experts have documented the specific guitar used in the scene.
