CATALOGUE NOTE

Given to Johnny Cash for promotion and artist endorsement for Guild and designed by Geoge Gruhn, this guitar used by Johnny quite a bit on stage in the late 1980s-early 1990s. It was also featured on the cover of Johnny's 1990 release, Boom Chicka Boom and the guitar was played in the 1990 video filming at the Nassau Coliseum live concert performance with the Highwaymen and at the 1990 Grammy Awards.

Looks like they're selling all his stuff!

I remember when they were going to give him that guitar. Never understood why they didn't make him a black one. Not that I could afford it now!

Anyway, I always loved Johnny Cash. May he rest in peace!

And as they sell it.....they say, "Hi! I'm Johnny's cash!

I really like his versions of Greystone Chapel and I Still Miss Someone.

In action on 'Ring of Fire':

Very nice.. Hope his guitar finds a special home & stays tuned.

Interesting comparison with the Chinese GAD30R sunburst
