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 of solid Engelmann spruce 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 neck 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.
