Martin DX Johnny Cash Acoustic-Electric Guitar

In the early 1970s Martin Guitar was commissioned to design an all-black lacquered D-35 for country star Johnny Cash. Though Martin had never considered such a request before an all-black D-35 for the Man in Black was custom-made. Cash went on to play his custom D-35 on stage for the next 20 years. In 2006 Martin released a commemorative D-35 Johnny Cash edition. Designed in collaboration with John Carter Cash and the Cash Foundation management team the DX Johnny Cash features a classic dreadnought body shape constructed with Jett black HPL top back and sides. 

Like the earlier commemorative edition this instrument includes a custom fingerboard inlaid with stars and the CASH logo. Johnny Cash's signature appears on the rosette and label. The DX Johnny Cash is equipped with Fishman MX electronics includes a soft gig bag embroidered with the CASH logo and is strung with Martin s Authentic Acoustic Lifespan 2.0 strings. The DX Johnny Cash was designed to be an accessible and playable guitar for anyone looking to honor the legacy of the legendary musician.
