About this listing
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. The DX Johnny Cash is a nod to the history between Cash and Martin Guitar.Designed in collaboration with John Carter Cash and the Cash Foundation management team, the guitar features a classic Dreadnought body shape constructed with Jett black high-pressure laminate (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. This model comes with Fishman MX electronics and 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.Series: Custom ArtistEdition Size: OpenConstruction: Mortise & Tenon Neck JointBody Size: D-14 FretTop Material: HPLTop Detail: Jett BlackRosette: Custom InkBracing Pattern: X BraceBrace Shape: ScallopedBrace Material: Sitka SpruceBrace Size: 5/16"Back Material: HPLBack Detail: Jett BlackSide Material: HPLSide Detail: Jett BlackNeck Material: Black Birch LaminateNeck Shape: Performing ArtistNeck Taper: High-Performance TaperPlek: NoNut Material: Black CorianHeadstock Shape: Solid with Standard TaperHeadplate Material: HPLHeadplate Logo Style: Silver Script InkHeelcap: BlackFingerboard Material: FSCA Certified RichliteScale Length: 25.4"Neck Joins Body At: 14th FretNumber of Frets Total: 20Fingerboard Width at Nut: 1 3/4"Fingerboard Width at 12th Fret: 2 1/8"Fingerboard Inlay Material: White Plastic and Custom InkFingerboard Inlay Style: Inlaid Stars and CASH Custom InkSide Dots: WhiteFinish Neck: Hand RubbedBridge Material: FSCA Certified RichliteBridge Style: Modern Belly Drop in SaddleBridge String Spacing: 2 5/32"Saddle: Compensated Black TusqSaddle Radius: 16"Tuning Machines: Chrome Enclosed GearRecommended Strings: Authentic Acoustic Lifespan(R) 2.0 Light 92/8 Phosphor Bronze MA540TKnob: SmallBridge Pin Material: Black PlasticBridge Pin Dots: White PlasticPickguard: BlackPickguard Inlay: NoneCase: Soft Gig BagLabel: Paper LabelElectronics: Fishman MX
