Just traded back from Col in 2026. How good it this?
Amazing 2006 (eighteen year old) Johnny Cash in near mint condition. With the age, this guitar sounds amazing, it’s so great to play. Low action with high saddle. Mint Johnny Cash case. It’s a beaut !
Perhaps Johnny Cash’s most favourite 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.
