The Martin D-35 Johnny Cash Commemorative guitar's
polished-black gloss lacquer finish allows its appointments to shine.
Five bands of alternating black and white purfling encircle the top,
three bands encircle the back and five bands border the sides, in all
cases protected by grained ivoroid binding. The grained ivoroid heel cap
and endpiece are likewise framed by multiple black and white inlays. The
Style 45 rosette features an inlay of vibrant select green abalone
pearl. Traditional Style 35 zigzag backstrips separate the three-piece
back.
Both the fingerboard and headstock are bound with grained ivoroid and
inset with mitered black/white fine line inlays. Martin's Old Style
large decal logo gleams on the polished black ebony headplate. True to
Cash's D-35 Custom, the headstock also sports Grover Rotomatic enclosed
chrome tuners. The African black ebony fingerboard is inlaid with
position markers similar to those on the D-42 Johnny Cash Signature
Edition and small abalone stars bordered with mother of pearl at the
5th, 7th, 9th, 12th and 15th frets. Johnny Cash's signature in pearl
appears between the 19th and 20th frets.
Because it's a Martin, the D-35 Johnny Cash Commemorative sounds as good
as it looks. Combining an Engelmann spruce top with 1/4" forward
shifted scalloped braces gives this Dreadnought sweet tone and
incredible responsiveness. Back and sides of East Indian rosewood add
warmth and projection. The 1-11/16" neck is carved from genuine
mahogany. A bone nut and compensated bone saddle (fitted in an ebony
belly bridge), enhance its resounding power and clarity. Abalone-topped
black Style 42 bridge pins and endpin add an elegant touch of color. A
polished and beveled black of course pickguard protects the top.
This black guitar deserves a black case, specifically a Geib style case
with special black hardware and a black interior. The D-35 Johnny Cash
Commemorative guitar comes with a special interior label in tribute to
the Man in Black," each personally signed by Cash's son, John
Carter Cash and Martin Chairman C. F. Martin IV, and numbered in
sequence.
