A Johnny Cash stage used Martin guitar used on stage by Cash in the 1980's. Cash gifted the guitar to his friend, Bill Miller, in 1989. The instrument can be seen in Cash's hands for the cover photo of The Survivors, a live album recorded in Germany that featured a reunion of Johnny, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis. Adding to the already incredible desirability of this instrument, Miller notes in his book, Cash: An American Man, "I took the guitar to a concert in Laughlin, Nevada, and asked Johnny if he would write the first four lines of 'I Walk The Line' on it. Without hesitation, he said, 'I'd be happy to.' " Categories: Johnny Cash
