Martin DX Johnny Cash Guitar
In the early 1970s, Martin Guitar was commissioned to design an all-black lacquered D-35 for country star Johnny Cash. Though Martin had never considered such a request before, an all-black D-35 for the “Man in Black” was custom-made. Cash went on to play his custom D-35 on stage for the next 20 years. In 2006, Martin released a commemorative D-35 Johnny Cash edition. New for 2019, the DX Johnny Cash is a nod to the history between Cash and Martin Guitar. Designed in collaboration with John Carter Cash and the Cash Foundation management team, the guitar features a classic Dreadnought body shape constructed with Jett black high-pressure laminate (HPL) top, back and sides. Like the earlier commemorative edition, this instrument includes a custom fingerboard inlaid with stars and the “CASH” logo. Johnny Cash’s signature appears on the rosette and label. This model comes with Fishman® MX electronics and a soft gig bag embroidered with the “CASH” logo and is strung with Martin’s Authentic Acoustic Lifespan® 2.0 strings. The DX Johnny Cash was designed to be an accessible and playable guitar for anyone looking to honor the legacy of the legendary musician.

THE BEDELL 1964 DREADNOUGHT IS CONSTRUCTED FROM A TIME-HONORED TONEWOOD COMBINATION OF SITKA SPRUCE AND HONDURAN MAHOGANY, CRAFTED SIMILARLY TO THE WAY GUITARS WERE BUILT FIFTY YEARS AGO. THE BEDELL 1964 DREADNOUGHT BRINGS BACK THE SPIRIT OF THE MUSIC WE ALL LOVE. THE WOOD USED IN THE SITKA SPRUCE SOUNDBOARDS IS SALVAGED FROM DOWNED TREES IN ALASKA. SITKA SPRUCE HAS BEEN THE PRIMARY TOP WOOD FOR U.S.A.-MADE INSTRUMENTS FOR MANY DECADES — IT IS STRONG, LIGHT, AND GIVES AN EXTENDED HARMONIC CONTENT THAT NEARLY EQUALS THE POWER OF ADIRONDACK SPRUCE. THE 1964 DREADNOUGHT’S HONDURAN MAHOGANY BACK AND SIDES DELIVER A BALANCED, RESONANT TONE WITH A THICK BOTTOM END, RICH MIDRANGE, AND A CONTROLLED, WARM TOP END. AS ALWAYS, NO FORESTS WERE CLEAR-CUT TO BUILD BEDELL 1964 GUITARS.
THE WORKSHOP-INSTALLED K&K PURE MINI PICKUPS IN THE BEDELL 1964 DREADNOUGHT CAPTURE THE AUTHENTIC FULLNESS OF ANALOG SOUND AND THE VIBE OF THE ERA, WITHOUT STAGE FEEDBACK. THE ETHICALLY SOURCED TONEWOODS, THE ALL-WOOD BINDING AND SUBTLE APPOINTMENTS RESULT IN A CLASSIC INSTRUMENT, MADE WITH THE SAME CARE, ATTENTION AND CRAFTSMANSHIP AS GUITARS FROM THE GOLDEN ERA OF INSTRUMENT BUILDING… ALL AT AN ACCESSIBLE PRICE POINT.
ALL BEDELL GUITARS COME WITH A HARDSHELL CASE.
