Creating a poignant place in history, the Martin D-35 Johnny Cash was the first polished black guitar Martin ever rolled out. Often noted as one of Johnny’s favorites, this gorgeous axe in black boasts a construction composed of a solid Engelmann spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back & sides. In tribute, it was built very close to the original specs and features grained ivoroid binding around its body, as well as on its solid black ebony fingerboard to contrast its dark appearance. Complete with a bone nut and saddle, this rich recreation is just waiting for you to give it all you’ve got, just like the man himself. Its production run # 299 & has slight play time yet is truly exceptionally clean in all respects. "Its one of the best sounding Martins ever" ! She comes in her original hard case.
