The Martin DX Johnny Cash Signature is one of the most honest guitars Martin makes. Black HPL top, dreadnought body, the signature Cash diamond inlay on the headstock — built to honor the Man in Black and built to take a beating. HPL means humidity-proof, road-proof, kid-proof. This is the guitar you don't worry about.

Plug it in with the Fishman Sonitone preamp and you've got a Martin that can play coffee shops, campfires, or your kid's recital without you sweating the weather.

Why we like it at Bros: Under $700 for a Martin acoustic-electric is hard to beat. It's the guitar we recommend for a college student leaving home, a parent learning to play, or a touring musician who needs a beater. Also the only Martin Frank's never afraid to hand a customer to try out. Comes with gig bag.

Specs: Solid Sitka spruce top option with HPL back & sides, satin black, Fishman Sonitone electronics, gig bag included. Authorized Martin dealer warranty.
