Daion Mark II

[BluesRiffer]

Hello There,

I got this guitar in a trade a while back. Besides haveing a nine piece maple/Rose through body neck with an ebony fingerboard; rosewood front, maple middle, mahogany back body, it has an ergonomically designed neck that is slightly twisted making it easy to access the frets a bit. I never noticed but I read about it in my research. It has a brass nut and brass saddles with a string through body design. It also has a coil taps on both humbuckers.

When I got it it was in a bad state of neglect. Also the intonation was really off badly. I also had to dissassemble all the saddles and repalce the allen screws for the high of the saddle. It has a locking saddle by the way. It sets up well and plays well. Its one of my axes that I practice with. They were made in Japan and the company went out of business. Here are a couple of picutures of it. It actually is a very versitile guitar and has an incrediable amount of sustain and a lots of different tones.

Cool. It looks quite similar to a Vantage a friend of mine had a long time ago. Is it heavy?

Hi

For the record...

-Matsumoku did not manufacture Daion guitars. Yamaki did!

-It's a 9-piece neck.

-It's not Dimarzio pickups, it's Gotoh.
