The 2006 Martin D-35 Johnny Cash Limited Edition pays tribute to one of American music's most recognizable figures with a design that draws from both the classic D-35 and Cash's unmistakable visual style. Built with a solid spruce top and East Indian rosewood back and sides, it delivers the deep bass response, rich overtones, and balanced character that have made the D-35 a favorite since the 1960s. Distinctive appointments, including black binding and custom inlays inspired by the "Man in Black," give the instrument its own identity without overshadowing its traditional Martin roots.
Rather than serving as a novelty piece, this model was built as a fully realized Martin, with the same craftsmanship and materials found on the company's Standard Series instruments of the era. The result is a dreadnought with plenty of warmth, headroom, and the open, ringing voice that suits the D-35 so well. It stands as a fitting tribute to Johnny Cash's enduring legacy while remaining, first and foremost, an excellent Martin in its own right.
Includes the OHSC.
