Johnny Cash is a legend in the world of music, but his legend evidently doesn't stop there! History has it that he managed to get the Martin Custom shop to build him an all black guitar even though C.F. Martin III, the head of Martin at the time, refused to build such a radical guitar. It was built in secret and for years was the only all black Martin ever made. In fact, C.F. Martin III only became aware of it when he saw him with it during a guest appearance on the t.v. show "Columbo". Made of Engelman Spruce and Indian Rosewood, this commemorative edition sounds as good as it looks. But, be warned....it just might bring out a bit of the rebel in you!
