I have by myself until now 6 Daions (2XX,2HH,1Caribou,1Savage). The Gallery will cost some money, so its just for fun and for the love to the Daions. Who wants to help with Guitars to show, a little payment and/or ideas?

      Hi Rudy,
      Are you still looking for a black Savage? The one I have has a kind of brushed gold looking scratchplate (now this is lame, but you mean the front of the body with the pickups, etc., right?) It is not perfect, it has a small crack in the body and I do not have the original case. I believe I am the second owner….let me know if you would like pics. Where abouts are you? I am in Canada. My email is teresao2000@yahoo.com

    A little concerned about a couple of posts/posters here!!! I may be way off, but I’ll post this anyway and let the mods sort it out and delete this post if necessary. I’ve asked for pics of the supposed blue mark xx, as I’ve never heard of a blue mark xx being produced. One of the posters requested an e-mail address to send pics to. I’m no computer genius, but my e-mail addy is attached to my profile. I supplied my e-mail addy, and I got an e-mail reply about the blue xx that is identical to a reply to another poster on here about an L999 saying that the guitar is in good working order, still available, good offer will be accepted, and stating that an e-mail addy and shipping address and price is needed to send pics and more information. Well, if you are e-mailing me this response, which is identical to the response you left on here for another poster about another guitar, why are you saying you need my e-mail addy? I smell a scammer! FORUM MODS PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS!!! And folks, please be careful!

        So you never got pics after sending your email addy? Give me the poster name and I’ll spam it out. We’re not playing that game here.

        As for a blue XX, I have never seen one, but then I had never seen a solid black or a solid white one until a year or two ago. Both are in NZ/Australia and are late production.

    I always check into any possible strange daions, as they did occasionally produce a rare oddball. I just found it odd that someone sent me a message to my yahoo account with a cut and paste reply that is on this page concerning an acoustic and was asking for my e-mail account and info. BTW, this was not either poster that was offering the blue xx. It was from Andres Rolles

    I have just posted on ebay the L9 for sale. The item number is 110700807055. Please feel free to have a wee look at the pictures if there is anyone out there on the lookout for a L-9

    I have a 1983 Daion Power Mark X-B with original green hardshell Daion case that I would sell for the right price. It has the natural finish. I just had the pots and wiring freshened up and had it buffed at the Gibson Guitar factory in Nashville. It’s in good shape (some dings/scratches) and sounds like GOD. Seriously.
    Trying to find examples of these amazing basses for sale online is next to impossible. This is by far the best bass I’ve ever played, but I need to part with some toys. So… Hit me up if interested.

    Hi everyone!
    I want to sell my ’80 W, an acoustic doubleneck 6/12 string with a great sound! Serialnumber 103345. I got it back from my luthier today after being repaired and optimised (strengthened bridge, flattened frets). According to my luthier it’s a very good guitar, nearly mint condition. Nearly, because it’s used, so a few minor dents and scratches are to be found if you look closely.
    It’s in its original flightcase with a bright yellow/gold interior. It has a professionally installed pick-up, not visible from the outside. It comes with a handmade wooden wallmounting. My e-mail addres is Boldy_P@hotmail.com. I live in Holland (the Netherlands).

    hi there,

    If you’ve noticed the Daion Guitar Facebook group lately, you may have noticed I currently own a Daion PWR XX guitar (green), a tan Power XX bass and a Headhunter electric semi-acoustic (Dark Brown/Mahogany).

    I’m probably looking to sell off the Headhunter and the Power XX guitar. I’m based in the UK, I’m not sure if there’s any other daion fans/owners here on this board? I can send you HQ photos than the ones I’ve put up on the facebook page, if you want.

    Sensible offers considered. I have an idea of their worth. Failing that i’ll be putting them up on Ebay Uk shortly. So if you’re an Daion fan, player or collector, and in the uk, keep your eyes peeled.

    regards,

    I have a beautiful Daion 12 string I have had since about 1980. I love it but I rarely use it, so it is up for sale. I have to tell you, it sounds more like a grand piano than a guitar and is as easy to play as a 6 string.. Amazing.

    I don’t know exactly what model it is. It looks a lot like the one on the front of the ’82 catalog here only a 12 string. Brass everything. It does have a few nicks here and there but other than that it is in great shape. Can take some fresh pics upon request. Located in western Canada. Original hard shell case.

    I have a Daion Power Mark XX savage.
    My uncle told me is rare and only 7 of these are made! its original straight from ’78. he also told me it costs around 3000 euros with its original case but it is used,it has some very little scratches and a broken ->(the thing up from fretboard where keys are).But its glued very well and it cant brake again. so he told me
    its price might has fell down..dunno whats its price now.Thats why im asking

    Reply
    • daionsonline Says:
      February 7, 2012 at 8:50 pm

      Couple of things need clarifying…. A Power Mark XX and a Savage are two different instruments. A Mk.XX has a neck thru design and will have a laminated body (different types and colors of wood in layers). A Savage is a bolt on neck guitar built like a Strat or Tele with four large screws that go through the body on the back side and hold the neck.

      To know the date of manufacture, look at the serial number in the back of the headstock near the neck. The first two numbers are date of manufacture, best as we can tell (82xxxx would be a 1982 model). If it is indeed a very rare 1978, it probably will have no fretboard. The laminated neck will show through as the fretboard and the guitar will probably have much more squared off look than later ones. There are some examples on the Super Rare Daions section of this website.

      If this guitar has had the headstock broken off (part tuning keys are attached to), its value will be very low. Brand new, the guitar sold in the early 1980s for $999USD. In original condition with all the paperwork and original case in perfect condition it would be worth well over 1000 euros, but I doubt you would be able to get over 3000 for it in any condition. With normal wear, I’d say 600-700 euros, but with the headstock broken, it is probably more like 200-250… if you can find somebody that wants it. A guitar with a broken headstock is similar to a car with a bent frame.

    Hello Daion-insiders

    I have an unused Daion Mugen Mark II 12-strings guitar for sale. (serial number 826394 D).

    It has never been played more than a couple of times. It was owned by two women who both found it too hard and difficult to play. The guitar has no signs of use or scratches apart from some very light marks in the varnish of the pick guard. It was strored in its original Daion case since it was bought 30 years ago. I am the second owner. Here is a picture:
    http://www.bilder-upload.eu/show.php?file=359b5f-1329511156.jpg

    Googleing a bit shows me that this guitar has quite some value, but how much exactly? And what would be the best way to sell it? Ebay? Or is there a special platform for instruments? I live in Switzerland.

    Thank you very much for your hints and thoughts!

    I am selling my Daion L-999. Serial # is 100503, which is from the first round of production. That places the construction in 1978 or 1979 and makes it extra rare.

    The guitar is in very good shape. The frets do not have any worn grooves. All in great shape. Straight neck. Finish is in great shape.

    The only condition issues are some fading on the tuners, a couple of minor dings on the top and minor marks on the back. Feel free to contact me for additional info or specific photos.
