This is an acoustic guitar that is hand made in 1971 in Japan.
is has 20 frets and a solid top. I don't know what kind of wood the guitar is made from but it has a dark braun color with an inlay around the hole. The body is not very good anymore because someone propably stept on it. is has four scratches through the body.
The name Daion stands on the back of the head. This guitar has an hard case with it which exactly fits with the guitar.
The tuners are still working very good and it stays in tune for a long while.

Although the body of the guitar is damaged, it still sounds very good. I haven't heard many guitars that have the same sound quality.
The sound is very loud. I like the sound very much because it sounds like a real country/on the road guitar like the sound of Jim Croce and Don Mclean. This is also the music that I mostly play on this guitar.

This guitar was hand-made in Japan. It has very good and precize fininshes and also the Daion symbol carved in the head. There was propably nothing wrong with the guitar when it was made. The only thing that is wrong is that the body is damaged. But this can be repaired.

This guitar will certainly withstand live playing. The guitar is 30 years old now and still sounds good. All the hardware is still very good. The tuning is still perfect. This is really a guitar that I can depend on. I learned to play guitar on this one and I still use it a lot.

I enherited this guitar from my father. When he died in 1996 I started playing it. I have learned to play guitar myself but 1 year ago I started with guitarlessons. I am now 17. I this guitar was stolen then I would propably be able to kill that person. This guitar has a very important emotional value for me.I like the guitar because it belonged to my father and also because it is worn. You can seee it has been used alot. I have compared this guitar with many other acoustic guitars, such as a Fender Bilboa, an Ovation adn many more. I still think this guitar is one of the best I have ever seen and played. The only thing I wish he had is the capability to plug it in so I could use it on live perfomances.
