The DX Johnny Cash is a 14-fret dreadnought in Jett Black HPL, top, back, sides and headplate. HPL is a high-pressure laminate, so it shrugs off humidity changes. The Richlite board carries inlaid stars and CASH in custom ink, the black birch laminate neck has Martin's Performing Artist shape with High-Performance Taper, and a Fishman Presys VT handles the pickup.
It suits a player who wants an all-black, full-size dreadnought that can live in a gig bag. For a Johnny Cash model built in Nazareth in East Indian rosewood with a black Engelmann spruce top, look at the D-35 Johnny Cash. The GPC-X1E Black takes black HPL to a cutaway Grand Performance body.
