“The Fabulous Johnny Cash”, “Hymns by Johnny Cash” or „Songs Of Our Soil“ are some albums where Johnny used this guitar on.

Johnny’s J-200 was made in 1958 and had a cherry-burst finish. The guitar itself had two black batwing pickguards that went around the soundhole, but Cash went the extra mile having his name engraved on the fretboard, making for a remarkably unique instrument. Made out of flamed maple for its entire body, and Brazilian Rosewood Moustache bridge and fretboard made this guitar one of the most fashionable guitars at the time. Some extra features included the first inclusion of Grover tuners in Gibson designs.

Johnny Cash played this guitar from 1958 to 1962 and Gibson actually made two these J-200s for him, both with his name on the fingerboard.

 

Our replica is made from the same materials and hardware, including CITES certified Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard and bridge and hand-cut and engraved portrait of Johnny Cash in mother of pearl on the headplate. This Rozawood guitar, as well as the original, has an incredible bass response, so it is an ideal choice for everyone playing Cash’s picked basslines.
