The Johnny Cash D-35
is in stock!
The D-35 Johnny Cash Commemorative’s polished black gloss lacquer finish allows its appointments to shine. Five bands of alternating black and white purfling encircle the top, three bands encircle the back and five bands border the sides, in all cases protected by grained ivoroid binding. The grained ivoroid heel cap and endpiece are likewise framed by multiple black and white inlays.
The Style 45 rosette features an inlay of vibrant select green abalone pearl. Traditional Style 35 zigzag backstrips separate the three-piece back.
Both the fingerboard and headstock are bound with grained ivoroid and inset with mitered black/white fine line inlays. Martin’s Old Style large decal logo gleams on the polished black ebony headplate. True to Cash’s D-35 Custom, the headstock also sports Grover Rotomatic enclosed chrome tuners.
The African black ebony fingerboard is inlaid with position markers similar to those on the D-42 Johnny Cash Signature Edition and small abalone stars bordered with mother of pearl at the 5th, 7th, 9th, 12th and 15th frets. Johnny Cash’s signature in pearl appears between the 19th and 20th frets.
Because it’s a Martin, the D-35 Johnny Cash Commemorative sounds as good as it looks. Combining an Engelmann spruce top with 1/4" forward shifted scalloped braces gives this Dreadnought sweet tone and incredible responsiveness.
Back and sides of East Indian rosewood add warmth and projection. The 1-11/16" neck is carved from genuine mahogany. A bone nut and compensated bone saddle (fitted in an ebony belly bridge), enhance its resounding power and clarity. Abalone-topped black Style 42 bridge pins and endpin add an elegant touch of color.
A polished and beveled black – of course – pickguard protects the top.
This black guitar deserves a black case, specifically a Geib style case with special black hardware and a black interior. The D-35 Johnny Cash Commemorative may be ordered as a left-hand instrument at no additional charge; factory-installed electronics are optional.
The D-35 Johnny Cash Commemorative guitar comes with a special interior label in tribute to the “Man in Black,” each personally signed by Cash’s son, John Carter Cash and Martin Chairman C. F. Martin IV, and numbered in sequence. While the D-35 Johnny Cash Commemorative currently is open-ended, it is subject to closure in the future.

What Does it Really Cost to
Shop American Online?
It can be really confusing when you're looking at a $19.95US item from the States online and when it gets to you, it really cost $58.76CDN. What happened? How did it get that expensive when the two currencies are at similar par?
There are many things to consider when ordering things online from the States: How much does it weigh? Does it have a "dimensional weight" because of it's size? What country was it made in? Will I have to ship it back for warranty? Duty? Brokerage? Where did all these extra charges come from?
Here's a web site that will help you decide if the item you're looking at is a good deal or not. "The Final Cost .Com" is an online calculator to help you estimate the final cost of purchasing items from the USA online and having your order shipped to Canada.
Remember, you will have to pay shipping a "second" time if the unit has to be returned for warranty... yikes!
Be careful, use your common sense; if it seems like too good of a deal, it may be.

Ultimate Rock
Band Camp 2008
The Arts Music Store Ultimate Rock Band Camp was a huge hit last year and we're doing it again!
Imagine, sending your rockstar, between the ages of 12-17 to a band camp where they can learn the skills to play successfully in a rock band.
With 10 days of camp, 5 workshops, and an awesome final concert performance, the parents will have as much fun as the kids. Due to the fast paced nature of the camp, an audition may be required for those who have under one year experience.
The Ultimate Rock Band Camp sessions will take place:
July 7th - 18th
July 21st - Aug 1st
Aug 11th - Aug 22nd
Mon - Fri 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.
The cost of each session is $500.
Some of our customers told us….
"I knew that The Arts had been intending to provide an opportunity to learn how to form a band and was delighted when I saw that it was being offered in a two week summer camp format!"
"Each day was even more interesting, exciting and motivating than the last. What the camp produced in two short weeks was very impressive; they took young musicians who hadn’t previously met, formed them into bands, taught them three or four songs of the student’s choosing, and put on an amazing concert at a real venue, complete with band ‘promotional’ pictures, biographies and an after-party!"
"The experience proved to be the inspirational catalyst for (my son) to put his own band together with his good friend, James. It has been enjoyable watching their efforts and hearing their band practice sessions. They both are looking forward to more incredible experiences at The Ultimate Rock Band Camp 2008."
"Thanks, The Arts!"
Erica Clark
"Last year, we attended The Arts Music Store Ultimate Rock Band Camp. It rocked… no pun intended!"
"Throughout the week, you go to multiple workshops with teachers who specify in your area of expertise. (E.g. if you play guitar, you go to the guitar workshop.) In these workshops you learn how to ROCK!
These workshops are one of many exhilarating activities that each rock star takes part in. Others include, ultimate Frisbee, and of course, forming an ultimate rock band."
"This camp is very exciting and it's also a great way to meet new friends. Fortunately for us, we enjoyed all of these events in 2007's ULTIMATE Rock Band Camp! We had so much fun, that we are participating again this year, twice; to once again become rock stars!"
"The camp also has wicked awesome councilors who let you experience more rock, and less talk! Now it's your turn fellow rockers! Sign up now and you will have the rockin' experience of your lifetime!"
