Martin D35 Johnny Cash Commemorative Edition

The voice of Johnny Cash is instantly recognizable with it's deep baritone timbre. And just as recognizable is his trusty old black Martin D35. When Johnny passed away in 2003, country music lost one of its original rebels. The story of how the black D35 came to be proves just how much of a rebel Johnny really was.

The first black Martin ever produced was built at Johnny's request, but without C. F. Martin III's approval, because he did not want a black Martin to be built. Martin's President actually didn't find out that the guitar had been built until the moment he saw Johnny Cash play it on "Columbo." That D35 was Johnny's favorite axe, and it was his trusty stage partner for nearly 20 years.

The Johnny Cash D35 is meant to be played as much as it's a collectors guitar. It truly plays and sounds as amazing as it looks. Features include an Engelman spruce top, three-piece Indian rosewood back and sides, ebony fingerboard with abalone star inlays and the interior label is signed by Johnny Cash's son, John Carter Cash, and C.F. Martin IV.

This is a Martin that is as distinguished as its original owner. Johnny was a legend in his own time, and this is your chance to own a replica of his trusty axe. Includes a black hardshell case with black hardware and interior.

*The guitar in this demo is not this specific guitar, but a different serial number of the same model*
