Daion 80 Series Acoustic

dreadnought, solid spruce top brown, mahogany back side and neck, rosewood fretboard, good tuners with logo daion. made in japan - yamaki (1980 ?). brass nut and saddle. I have changed the saddle with one bone but the brass played also well.
This guitar is amazing. No electronics this guitar is a real acoustic instrument.

Usually j play classic and electric, this instrument is an acoustic guitar and is good for this music. bright sound with Martin strings 0.10-0.47.
I like it much.

Perfect action, but the fretboard isn't good for me because I play others guitars with fretboards more large.

well made and very strong, I use it at home for recording, it is 28 years old and plays good.

I play 40 years, I have played more good instruments in this time. this guitar is ok, well made, good sound.

dreadnought, solid spruce top , solid mahogany back and side, brass nut and brass saddle (but i have changed it with bone for more vibrations, brass saddle was also nice), good tuners with logo daion, rosewood fretboard, made in Japan - year 1980 i think, 20 frets, no electronics, I hope plays good with a bill lawrence pick up.

I often play classical or electric, I have bought it for acoustic sound and it plays very well this kind of music, she is very amazing. I like it much much much. IF you play in fingerstyle or flatstyle your sound is good.

the action is perfect with strings martin 0.10-0.47. this guitar is well build and I don't see any defect. the only thing that I dislike is the neck no good large for me, but I play more classical guitar.

well made, I use it only at home for recording and others. all solid and well durability. my guitar is old 28 years and is ok.

I don't know where is company, but internet says that the company has failed ...1982?

I play 40 years, I have played more amazing old and new guitars (gibson, fender, martin, ramirez (for classical), old vox and others instruments well made. this guitar is good. if I find another of these guitars at a reasonable price I buy it.

made in japan in 1980. solid spruce top with nice mahogany veneer over. solid mahogany back, neck and sides. rosewood fretboard, bridge and bridgepins, maple binding. brass nut, saddle and fretdots, 10 kt goldplated 18-1 closed tuners. tobaccoburst color with oval soundhole and flame pickguard.

this thing is awesome for fingerpicking or strumming, playing hard or gently. the highs and mids are heavenly while the bass is crisp and tight, booming but not overpowering sloppy. when i first played it i found it warm but a little tinny and thin. i replaced the brass saddle with a bone one and strung a pair of martin cutom lights and WOW!

the lady i bought it from at a yard sale said her husband bought it for her in 1980 she tried to learn then gave up and put it back in the case and closet for 25 years. i walked through her yard sale and asked if she had a guitar for sale and she went in and dug it out. i opened the original hardcase(in good shape) and the guitar did not have one scratch, not one bit of wear and the neck and action were great! luckily we live in a wet area. i found the original combination of the brass saddle and brass nut made it a little tinny, changed to bone saddle and...magic!

extremely well made. solid and nicely finished with quality materials and close attention. very dependable.

company was started in waco texas by a doctor who was the designer and owner in mid seventies then contracted through japanese maker in 1980 who bought the company in 1981 then closed down in 1982.

i don't think i'll ever sell this little beauty. if i did lose it for any reason i would certainly try to find another. easily comparable to martin, taylor or gibson, quality and soundwise.
