Martin Guitars DX Johnny Cash

Martin DX Johnny Cash Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar Including Gigbag!

In the early 1970s, Martin Guitar was commissioned to design a completely black-painted D-35 for country star Johnny Cash. Although Martin had never considered such a request before, a fully black-painted D-35 was custom-built for the "Man in Black." Cash played his D-35 on stage for the next 20 years. In 2006, Martin released a D-35 Johnny Cash memorial edition. The new DX Johnny Cash for 2019 pays tribute to the history between Cash and Martin Guitar.

The guitar was developed in collaboration with John Carter Cash and the management team of the Cash Foundation and features a classic dreadnought body shape with a black Jett high-pressure laminate top, back, and sides. Like the earlier memorial edition, this instrument has a fretboard inlaid with stars and the "CASH" logo. Johnny Cash's signature appears on the rosette and the label.

This model comes equipped with Fishman MX electronics and a soft gigbag embroidered with the "CASH" logo and is strung with Martin Authentic Acoustic Lifespan 2.0 strings. The DX Johnny Cash was designed to be an accessible and playable guitar for anyone who wants to honor the legacy of the legendary musician.
