The Martin DX Johnny Cash is a tribute to the legendary “Man in Black.” Built in collaboration with John Carter Cash and the Cash Foundation, this instrument honors the decades-long bond between Johnny Cash and Martin Guitar.
Inspired by the custom all-black D-35 Martin created for him in the early ’70s, this guitar delivers that same bold, rebellious spirit in a road-ready package. It’s your chance to hold a piece of music history that’s built to be played loud and proud.
Your Ticket to Authentic Outlaw Tone
There’s a certain magic that comes with playing a guitar tied to a legend like Johnny Cash — it’s like you can feel the rumble of a freight train in every strum. With its powerful tone and iconic style, this guitar is an inspiration machine ready to help you write your own rebellious anthems and tell your own unapologetic stories.
Classic Dreadnought Body: The time-tested Dreadnought shape is renowned for its booming projection and rich, powerful low-end. It delivers the kind of full-bodied acoustic tone that filled theaters and auditoriums, perfect for driving rhythms and heartfelt ballads.
High-Pressure Laminate (HPL) Construction: Built for the road, the jet-black HPL top, back, and sides make this guitar incredibly durable and resilient to changes in climate. It’s tough enough for relentless gigging, so you can take it from the studio to the stage without worry.
Fishman® MX Electronics: Ready to plug in and play at a moment's notice, the onboard Fishman® MX electronics faithfully translate the guitar's natural acoustic sound for live performance or recording. The soundhole-mounted controls are discreet and easy to use, letting you dial in your tone without ruining the guitar's clean, dark aesthetic.
Playability Rebels Demand
Designed for players who want a guitar that feels as good as it sounds, the DX Johnny Cash is a smooth-playing machine that invites you to play for hours.
Performing Artist Neck Shape: Forget clunky, uncomfortable necks. This guitar features Martin’s comfortable Performing Artist neck with a High-Performance Taper. It’s built for speed and comfort, allowing you to move up and down the fretboard with ease, whether you're playing complex chords or fast-moving solos.
1 3/4" Nut Width: The slightly wider nut provides ample string spacing, making it comfortable for both fingerstyle players and flatpickers. You'll have plenty of room to nail clean chords and intricate melodies without feeling cramped.
Iconic Design Meets Legendary Legacy
Every detail of this guitar is a nod to Johnny Cash himself, turning it into a functional work of art that stands out from the crowd.
Custom "CASH" Inlays: The fingerboard is adorned with unique star inlays and the unmistakable "CASH" logo, letting everyone know whose legacy you're channeling. Johnny Cash’s signature is also proudly displayed on the rosette and interior label, adding a final touch of authenticity.
All-Black Everything: True to the "Man in Black," the guitar features a striking jet-black finish from top to bottom. It’s a bold, commanding look that has as much stage presence as the legend himself.
Embroidered Gig Bag: Your guitar travels in style with the included soft gig bag, which comes embroidered with the iconic "CASH" logo. It’s durable protection that carries the outlaw spirit wherever you go.
A Modern Tribute to an American Icon
The Martin DX Johnny Cash is the perfect intersection of history, playability, and attitude. It’s an accessible and reliable guitar built for any musician looking to honor one of the most influential artists of all time. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or a player searching for a bold new sound, this guitar delivers.
