Perhaps Johnny Cash's most favorite Martin guitar (and he played many) was a specially made D-35, his – and Martin's – first guitar with a polished black finish. Perfect for "the man in black," Cash played this guitar on stage for nearly 20 years.
In 1980, Marshall Grant left to become manager of the Statler Brothers. He decided to discontinue using the name, "The Tennessee Three", ostensibly for legal reasons (Grant had filed a lawsuit against Cash, which was settled out-of-court years later).
