Jamey Johnson with his Machiche / Lutz Spruce Double Top, Hollow Back, MacNaught guitar. Acclaimed singer-songwriter Jamey Johnson has been showered with plaques, trophies and award statuettes.

Some of the things that have happened along the way include songwriter awards for 2005’s "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk," which Jamey co-wrote for Trace Adkins. In the spring of 2007, the Academy of Country Music gave Jamey a Song of the Year award for co-writing the George Strait hit "Give It Away," and the Country Music Association did the same later that year.

"Everything comes from God. So when I write, it is my gift to Him. It is my interpretation of what He gave me, the circumstances that I drew the material from. So when I get done with a song, it’s not for my fans. It’s certainly not for the industry, the trophies, the accolades and the plaques. It is straight from me to God."

Marty wanted the guitar to sound and feel like "an old friend". We chose Panama Rosewood for the body with a vintage 1959 Sitka Spruce top. MOP diamonds and 3 crosses complete the design.
