"Alternate Universe: Back to the Future's Johnny B. Goode Almost Rocked a Fender Stratocaster"

Norm Harris, the owner of Norman's Rare Guitars, reveals that he initially recommended using a Fender Stratocaster instead of the Gibson ES-345 for the iconic Johnny B. Goode scene in Back to the Future. The film's art director chose the ES-5, but later changed their mind and opted for the historically inaccurate ES-345. Despite the mismatch, the scene became one of the most memorable guitar moments in film history. Harris reflects on how the filmmakers took artistic liberty and didn't anticipate the lasting impact of the guitar choice.

The guitar features inscriptions from Cobain, Novoselic, and Grohl, and is considered a highly collectible item.
