Marty Mcfly

In this video Mark and Joe identify that he used an Ibanez roadster ii and describe the history behind it.

In this iconic scene, we see Marty plug an Erliwine Chiquita into Docs massive amp.

In this video Mark and Joe identify that Marty uses a sparkle blue PRS CE 24. This guitar features when he is and old man and Needles (played by Flea) fires him. This guitar also features in the background in the cafe scene.

Marty kicks over his amp which looks to be an old bandmaster or clone of some sort.

While playing "Johnny B. Goode" at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance, Marty sings into an American Microphone Company DR 330. This is clearly visible in the video below:

Note that the DR 330 is visibly indistinguishable from the R 331 and DR 332. The only difference between these mics is polar pattern. The DR 330 was switchable, the R 331 was bi-directional only, and the DR 332 was cardiod only. Since Marty is using this mic on-stage, we can assume it is either a DR 330 switched to cardiod, or a DR 332. Since Marvin Berry's band had the Cadillac of guitars, along with a real Cadillac (in which Marty was locked in the trunk), we can assume they would have the Cadillac of American Microphone Company mics, which was the DR 330. Conjecture? Maybe.

American Microphone Company was also based in Pasadena, California, making it readily available in Hill Valley, CA. A spec sheet for this family of mics from countant.org is dated 11/15/50. Thus, it is period correct for the 1955 dance, unlike Marty's ES-345 guitar.

Marty uses this in the opening scene of the first bttf.

In this article from Guitar player magazine we can see that Marty Mcfly uses an ES-345 during his performance at the enchantment under the sea dance.
