Music

Perhaps Johnny Cash’s most favorite Martin guitar (and he played many) was a specially made D-35, his – and Martin’s – first guitar with a polished black finish. Perfect for "the man in black," Cash played this guitar on stage for nearly 20 years. Now Martin has paid tribute to this musical legend with a close facsimile of that special instrument: the D-35 Johnny Cash Commemorative.

The Martin D-35 features a unique three-piece back constructed from East Indian rosewood, a top made of Sitka spruce, and an ebony fretboard. Launched in 1965, it offers a powerful and resonant sound that has made it a favorite among professional musicians.
