Daions for Sale, Wanted

Since there have been a few posts from folks wanting to sell or buy, might as well dedicate a page to it. Make sure to include contact information in your post.

I finally figured out how to change post listing here from oldest first to newest. Should make this section a lot easier to navigate for those selling and buying. Sorry it took so long.

    Hey all,

    I have an early black Savage guitar s/n 10285 that I am interested in selling. It has its original case, and is still an amazing guitar. I unfortunately don’t play it anymore and would love for it to go to someone who will appreciate what a great guitar it is. Feel free to send me a message

    Selling my blonde fretless Daion Power Mark XX-B neck thru 1981.
    2nd hand bought from my teacher in 2004 who possibly bought it from Australia.
    Upgraded in 2010 to Sadowsky PJ’s and sounds great with them (a lot more punch and clarity, originals sounded a bit weak and muddy) Original pickups included.
    Recently epoxy coated fretboard by professional, sounds like new, no buzzing(it had some buzzing notes because of fretboard age).
    Very small cosmetic ding in the headstock close to the nut, but not related to nut, that how I bought it and it hasn’t affected tuning, playability and set up at all. Stays in tune and keeps set up for years.
    Recently set up, nut works.
    Comes with a Japanese 80’s case, no original case and an optional luthier made ramp.
    For contact and question email me at gkosto87@gmail.com
    Location Athens,Greece. Shipping worldwide (UPS,FedEx)

      Would need to know the model, but it sounds like a Caribou or Gazelle. Gazelle is worth a little more, but being a 12string actually knocks about $100 off the price, as they aren’t as desirable to most players.

      Thats almost impossible to answer. We need more info and pictures. Being a 12 string, there are 10 different models – and thats just the Yamaki models. The value on those goes from 350-1500 usd, depending on condition, location, rarity of the specific model and so on. If we add the Korean models, the value goes from 50-250 usd. So we need more info 🙂 Feel free to mail pictures and info to me on Mbechmann@gmail.com

    Hey everyone, i got a red Daion Power Mark II XX-B bass guitar in good/ very good condition. Been carrying it around (in its case) for some time now. My music teacher gifted it to me, as she said she got it as a gift for the classroom, which already had a (very cheap) bass guitar. Sounds…. well, but true. It can be tested in eastern Germany, or i could make a demonstration video, if anybody is interested.
    Anybody interested? Just leave me a comment.

    Hello everyone. I’ve posted this on here before but I’m looking for a power Mark XX 6 string in green or red. I also would consider a natural finish. I’m willing to pay $1000 U.S. or more depending on condition and if it comes in the original case. If I found a matched set 6 string and bass $3000 wouldn’t be out of the question for the pair.

        December 11, 2018 at 8:08 am

        Beware. Although we can reasonably assume the guitar was made after 2017, CITES could require proof of this. There are no factory records remaining, so unless there is a receipt for purchase or some other legal document including the guitar from before 2017, it will need to have all the proper CITES certifications, including paperwork from both the exporting and importing companies. We know of several guitars that were delayed or confiscated and destroyed due to not following CITES requirements. Each country has their own interpretation, so make sure to know where you stand with customs before any transaction takes place and before the guitar is shipped.

      • Dez Says:
        December 11, 2018 at 3:46 pm

        Hi Michael,
        I’m sorry but I’m not happy to risk shipping to Germany. I don’t have any receipt of purchase so can’t provide that in order to get a CITES certificate.
        Thanks for the interest.

In that case i would love to buy the guitar ASAP and you could send it to a college in the UK, where i can pick it up. I will be there with the car, so no Problems with transport to Germany.

        Lance a little word of warning. You HAVE to get cites certification for these instruments. You need to sort that out BEFORE buying ANY instrument in Europe. We have seen 8 instruments destroyed by custom agents because the cites certification was not there. So this is a really big deal.

        Lance, thats not entirely true. Its in May, and they are so far only looking into revamping the rules. There are no guarantee that they will actually do it – and more importantly. There is no telling when the new rules will come into effect if the rules are revamped. Thats the problem.

      This is a super rare instrument. We have it from the designer and export guy that they made VERY few left hand instruments. This is probably the only left hand one of this model we have on record. Would like to know the serial number, if you are willing to share it. Serial will be on the end of the neck, viewed by looking into the sound hole, maybe with a light to help.

Rosewood fretboard, bridge, and overlay on front of headstock with Daion tuning fork symbol embossed. Maple rosette inlaid around sound hole. The AY series were imported into Canada by Great West Imports in Vancouver. This is a very rare guitar. Looks very similar to Daion Mugen series.

    Most people don’t seem to price what they are offering here, but I will. Asking $600 US plus shipping. Located near Toronto Canada.

      No interest so far. It’s hard to set a price. I’ve never seen another of this model for sale. How about $500 US (or best offer) plus shipping? I just learned that it needs CRITES documents to ship outside of Canada because of the rosewood content. I would be willing to apply for that, if necessary.

        Still too high? Finally offered at $400US including me providing CITES documentation if shipped out of Canada. This guitar has a nice straight neck with extrodinary low action and chimes like a piano. It’s amazing as Daions usually are.

      Couldn’t answer this weekend. Sorry to be bit getting back to you. If it is in very nice condition and has the original case, I think that’s a pretty decent price on an 80. They are pretty rare, but all Daions are. One of those deals where you might find one cheaper at a later date, but it may be years before you find another one for sale at any price.

    Once upon a time I became an online/remote friend of Dann Rogers. Dann is the nephew of Kenny Rogers. Yes, that Kenny Rogers. Dann spent a great deal of his youth in Nashville, TN where he learned the art of songwriting, the craft of song recording, and found a love of both.

    One of the cool things that Dann told about those days was when he was in the studio the sound engineers were constantly looking for the best sounding acoustic guitars. Long story short, although Gruhn Guitars is/was right there in town and access to the best instruments was never ending, most of the time a Daion guitar won the day. Not Gibson. Not Martin. Not any other maker of guitars.

    One of the most well used Daion guitars on those recordings is the one I’m offering for sale. It is a Daion The ’81 Caribou with a very special pickup arrangement.
    There is one under the saddle and another in the sound hole. Now, that’s not that terribly special, I admit. But the wiring allows either signal to be used or both at the same time through the single output. In other words, with this guitar you can plug into the guitar on one end and run two separate signals out, one to one amp and another signal to another amp. Or you can have both signals running to a single amp. Or you can use either pickup by itself.

    Control of these signals lies in the on-board knobs and switches. Instead of the traditional Volume and Tone sliders, there are two Volume knobs and a toggle switch. The switch picks either the under-saddle pickup, the sound hole pickup, or both. The Volume knobs (rather obviously) determine how loud the signal from the individual pickups.

    Given that kind of flexibility in tone, you can see why this instrument was so well loved by the sound engineers and producers in Nashville back in the day!

    Full Disclosure:
    The under-saddle pickup is not original. The original was very beat up and unsalvageable.
    There are some bumps and scrapes on the guitar. Nothing that impacts the tone. But, it is not at all a pristine instrument.
    It has been played. A lot. Which I think opens up the acoustic tone of the instrument a great deal.
    The action does get higher as you go up the neck. I haven’t tried the truss rod, mostly because it means having to take of the sound hole pickup and I haven’t bothered to do that yet. I can if you wish to see if that remedies the issue.
    If a truss rod adjustment doesn’t remedy the action issue, it may need a neck reset. But, I’m not anything near an expert in that arena.

    Let me know if you’re interested! I’m happy to provide photos, answer questions, etc.

    Thanks!

    Todd

      There were 2 guitars made for the Rogers. The one for Kenny was a pearl white mod.79 with dice inlaid with mother of pearl. the one you have was used by the Gatlins first, then disappeared. It was the Daion 78 that was so popular to record with in Nashville. Chet used it on every recording and Jim Bowen had 6 in his safe. The Caribou was only built by Daion 1 year. The rest were built in the Tacamine factory. Michael Sprigs at Warner Brs. in Nashville was the artist that gave it it’s popularity.

      Hi Steve
      The Performer series is a little bit tricky actually. A very limited number were made by Dyna/Ibanez in 75. Those all have a gold Daion logo and also a very special truss rod adjuster on the neck plate. It will also have “Made by Yamaki” stamped on that neck plate.
      After that short run, the Performer series almost died until 84 where a different company bought the pieces after Yamaki went bankrupt – and they are nowhere near the Yamaki quality. These can have the gold Daion logo as well.
      Around 85 the logo changed from gold to all black. By 87 the Daion brand was sold to Korea. The quality dropped even more when that happened.
      In 92 the Daion brand – including the Performer was sold to China, and now they were all cheap cheap cheap quality.
      By 96 the Daion brand was done.

      This means that the value is a bit tricky. The Performer has a reputation of being Korean or Chinese cheap quality and this means beginner level instruments. This means that the value is only about 150-200 USD.

      However the serial number on yours is an interesting one. There is a chance that its a Yamaki made. If you join the forum we have on Facebook, you can post some pictures of it. That will help a lot more with the value and so on:

    I agree the seller got a good price, considering condition. The guitar had numerous dings in addition to the issues you mentioned. Condition is critical in determining value. I’ve been tracking Daions for several years on an almost daily basis, noting actual selling prices. If you picked up a Headhunter for under $1K, you got a heckuva bargain! Congrats. It’s always nice to hear about someone picking one of these up who really appreciates the quality of these wonderful instruments.

      You have to remember 1 thing. People can ask anything they want. I am talking about the sales prices – not the listed prices. And I have been tracking ebay and reverb from the world the last 7 years – not just in USA but in Australia, Japan, USA, Canada, UK, Germany and Sweden just to mention a few. The prices in USA are normally higher due to shipping not being such a big problem.

      And the one here for 1050$ is not mint to good condition. Its not 100% original and the add does not have an original case. All the screws for the covers and pickups are horrible.

      So I am sorry, but I think somebody overpaid for this one. I paid less than this 6 months ago for a Headhunter in mint condition with an original case.

      Value is very dependent on condition. Basses seem to sell for more than the guitars. If you have a really nice one with original case and original electronics and bridge, anything under about $800 is a bargain. Truly mint with an original sales reciept, brochure, Daion company letter, warranty card, warranty credit card and wrenches still with it, could be worth even more, but I have never seen all that stuff still with one. Beat up, scratched up and modified with aftermarket hardware and changed pickups, they go for about half as much. Seriously rough with a spry can paint job or similar, $200-300.

      • Bill Says:

        Under $800 USD for a good+ to excellnt condition XX would indeed be a bargain – anything under $1400 is a bargain, IMHO. I’ve been collecting Daions for many years. I currently have 5 XXs (one in each color), 3 Headhunters, 3 or 4 Power Mark Xs, an XX bass, a Savage, a Barbarian, a Savage bass, and a few acoustics. Power Mark XXs can occasionally be had in the $1200-$1400 range, but most often go for $1500 and more (again, assuming good+ to excellent condition. Scrapes and dings, let alone replacement parts, have a significant effect on value). The XX is my all time favorite production line guitar. And it has the most usuable coil splits I’ve ever encountered. The black one is indeed rare. I’ve only seen the one that I have. The catalogs I’ve seen don’t mention black, only brown, red, green and tan. The tan one is my favorite because it has a different wood recipe. While all the others are stained ash top and back over a maple core, the tan one is natural ash over a solid redwood core.

      • daionsonline Says:
        May 29, 2016 at 10:22 pm

        Main thing to realize about price of a Daion is the simple fact that., if you pass on one you think to be a bit too expensive, it may be months or years before another one like or in better condition shows up, if ever. They are extremely rare. My favorite example is that we think there were about 5,000 Mk. XXs and Mk Xs total production over the entire 4 years they were made. To put that in perspective, Gibson produced about 5,000 guitars in 1959 alone. These are actually far fewer than 59 Les Pauls.

      • mbechmann Says:
        June 1, 2016 at 6:00 pm

        Sorry but Bill’s prices are on the high side. A good XX guitar goes for 700-900 USD on Ebay. Yes you get the dreamers asking 1400 USD but they never sell. I have yet to see an XX sell for 1200-1400 USD. Prices might end up there, but not today. Not for an XX guitar. Basses tend to sell slightly higher than guitars and also the country location effects the price (shipping cost can be very high so that lowers the value). Not even a completely mint condition with no marks on it + a brand new original case, will reach that. Not for an XX. To reach 1400 USD you need to have a much rare one – like a headhunter. Headhunters are much much rarer since only about 50 were made. XX series were made in several thousands.

        Also the black is not that rare – at least not on electrics. They are in fact just as normal as other colors. The black ones are kind of split up into 2. The extremely dark green that is black – which is early models – and the solid black color. That black is not rare at all. In fact, I wouldnt even consider black raising the value at all – especially on the Savages/Barbarians.
        On the acoustics however its a different story. I have only seen 1 black acoustic Caribou for example.
        On the electric a green one is the rarest. Especially if its an early one.

        Color, year and condition also effects value. 80-82 is where most of them were build so that effects the price as well.

        They mostly sell for around 400-900$. The case adds value, but without knowing color and where Ulrika is from in the world its impossible to estimate a value.

      Hi Ulrika
      The value on the Mk xx varies a lot. I assume that its a guitar? What color is it? Have any pictures of it? Finally it also depends on where you are in teh world?

      We have a forum on Facebook where you can post pictures if it is.

        Hi Ulrika
        Thats the tan version – which by far is the most common one. There are about 3-4 times as many tan Mk. XX compare to the other colors. That effects the value.

        Being in Sweden that also effects the value. You wont get the same price there due to shipping is expensive. I bought a rosewood bass for 4000sek and a Mk X for 3500sek. In both cases I picked up the instruments (from Denmark).
        The last few I saw on blocket sold for around 3500-5000 sek.

      Thats a really tough question to answer Matt. The Les Paul version were made 90% in Korea. Those go for around 100-300$. But if you find one with a serial number on the headstock you have a Japanese made one. Those are worth more. About 300-400$ but sales can be slightly tough because the market are flooded by Korean made ones.

      Finding a JP Les Paul is almost impossible. I have only seen 2 in the last 7 years. Daion was famous for creating original designed instruments – not copies. So the Les Pauls were made in 76 + in 84-85 but the later ones were made by Cushin – not Yamaki. So the quality is lower than the original ones.

    I’ve decided to sell my Daion Powermark XX-B. It is green. It has some non-stock parts: SD QuarterPounder pickups, non-original switch, non-original spring on one of the bridge pieces. The overall condition is probably about an 8 out of 10- there are bumps, scratches, and a few gouges. The good news is that it was refretted, and only has about 12 hours of play on it since the refret. Does not include the original case, but I’m sure I can find a gig bag for it.

      If the one you saw/played was a green one, it was probably the one I owned 821139 or the next consecutive serial number 821138. Mine was stolen in 2006 and never recovered, so it’s out there somewhere. When it comes to Daions, you usually can’t be too picky on color, just luck of the draw what you get. Fretless Mk.XXs even more so. I do have a really nice blonde one I could set you up with, but it is not all original and would need a little TLC to put back right.

        I’m not from Texas, but I bought the bass from a guy in Texas (last name Stoilis) in about 2003. The other one, 821138 was also in Texas.

        Your are absolutely correct- yours is the one I played. I’ve seen one other fretless, and it was at Bass Emporium. It was natural, and had a lined neck. I hope you find yours.

      • daionsonline Says:
        October 21, 2015 at 10:55 pm

        Yeah, there were VERY few fretless and even fewer green fretless ones, and even less of them in Texas, lol. It has been gone for 10yrs now. I know what pawn shop it ended up in. They swapped the numbers or sold it under the radar because a friend found the case it was in at the same shop a couple of years later… you don’t pawn an empty case. I bought a tan unlined one a few years later and that’s still my main one. Unreal as it seems that one was ALSO stolen two years ago, but the idiot thieves took it to a legit pawn shop two days later and the numbers lit up the county sheriff. I did get that one back, and the Daion Caribou they stole with it. I also have a lined fretless I picked up last year that needs a new home. I can’t play the lined for fear of it throwing me off on the unmarked one. It’s cheap, but has been modified with aftermarket tuners and bridge.

      Our main efforts have been trying to figure out the serial number system, as well as trying to identify how many different makes and models were actually Yamaki builds for other brands (besides Daion, we are almost 100% positive they were building for Aria, Washburn, and maybe even four or five other brands). Contact me via the email addy on this page and let’s compare notes.

        I believe Yamaki/Daion also built Anea. I have an Anea that looks almost exactly like a Daion Power Mark XX with a bolt-on neck. Then, recently, I picked up an Anea acoustic that has a Daion tuning fork logo inlaid on the fretboard. Also, there is currently on eBay, listed in the adaion section, a guitar entitled Clifton which looks just like the Anea bolt-on/Power Mark XX.

        Tom: I’d love to get a list of the guitars you are selling.

        Bill

      • daionsonline Says:
        August 3, 2015 at 8:04 pm

        We are thinking the Aneas were either Daions left over after Yamaki and Daion went bankrupt, or they were defective builds that were sold to another maker. The necks were cut off and inexpensive hardware, electronics and bolt on necks were used to make them a sell-able item.

      • Bill Panzer Says:
        August 4, 2015 at 2:06 pm

        I doubt the Anea bodies were leftover or defecive Daion Power Mark XXs. Though extremely similar, there are subtle differences like the placement of the input jack and the appearance of the tummy cut. And my recently acquired Anea with the inlaid Daion logo is circumstantial evidence of a true connection between the brands.

        I’m in the San Francisco Bay Area in California. You can see a guitar just like the Anea right now on eBay. Search for Daion and look for the listing for the Clifton guitar. You’ll see that it looks like the Power Mark XX with a bolt-on neck.

      • daionsonline Says:

        Yes, have seen the Clifton, but never one with the lyre. Does it have the same headstock shape, but with a lyre instead of the Clifton or Anea logo? Also, the serial is very important for determining if it is a Yamaki build. They used a distinctive serial sequence on all the Daions, Washburns and other brands they built.

      • Twangshui Says:
        August 28, 2015 at 8:06 pm

        Guys I am the owner of that Clifton on Ebay. I agree it looks like the Anea tho i have only seen pics. Once you handle enough Daions you kind of recognize them. But there isnt any single tell-tale defining trick or hardware that makes it a certainty.

        This Clifton is no leftover cutoff re-fit, its a top quality scratch built guitar in every respect, perfect fit and finish excellent binding and the best of the best Japanese craftsmanship of the era. The SN is 850134. Is there anything else you want to know?

        I once owned a Mann guitar that was like a few others, just like a Memphis or Vantage. Was told Mann was the Canadian trademark. My guess is the off-brands like this have a similar story.

        ALSO I have a nice 78 Heritage acoustic for sale 600 shipped and also a va reee naaass Westbury rosewood Dreadnaught with MOP binding – Never saw another like it. Both sound and play like a dream. Have a Caribou I will part with too. Switched to 1.75″ nut guitars and my fat fingers cant handle these. Only problem – nobody has a cash these days! i cant believe that Clifton hasnt been scooped up yet. Interested teckst me 262- 7 oh 5 -3484

        cheers

      • mbechmann Says:
        August 29, 2015 at 2:39 am

        Twangshui, I think there are a couple of reasons why you havent sold your Clifton. The first one is the price. Not to long ago an Anea was sold for around 350$.
        The second reason is the guitar itself. Your SN: 85xxxx. Daion went under in the beginning of Feb 84. Since yours is build after that it can only be a possible unfinished Daion guitar or something similar. There are some evidence that Chushin factory bought everything from Daion when they went under. So I think yours are build/finished there
        Daion also never sold a guitar with a bolt on neck. Well almost never that is. In around Oct 83-Feb.84 they build a few Yamaki instruments with bolt on – LP and Strats. Never anything else.

        That being said it is a very cool guitar. I have no doubt that it plays well. I also really like the connection to Daion and what it adds to the Daion history.

        Michael

      • daionsonline Says:
        August 29, 2015 at 7:32 pm

        Well, Daion made Savages with bolt on necks, but never Mk.XXs that look like this Clifton. The only bolt on guitars in this style have been Anea and this Clifton.

      • mbechmann Says:
        August 31, 2015 at 3:19 am

        Twangshui
        True about the Savages.

        In the case of yours it still doesnt change the fact that your serial number is dated after Daion went under. So there is no way it could have been build at the Yamaki factory. The body yes, but it was never finished there.

        However, when Daion went under in 84 everything got taken over by Chushin factory including not yet finished builds. Both Anea and your Clifton is most likely finished by Chushin. Yes the body is build by Yamaki, but they didnt finish it. This is actually confirmed by the serial number. Chushin used that kind of serial number as your have. If it had been made by Yamaki, it would have been stamped and painted into the neck or neck pocket. On the XX series it would be on the neck.

No sound hole as such but with a couple of small holes in the topside of the guitar soundboard. I have pictures of what I’m chasing if anyone knows of one or would like to see pictures please email.

      If it still has the factory electronics, no… there is no battery. It is possible that it could have had the factory electronics (which by today’s standards are extremely primitive) with a modern electronics package with a battery in the body. You can look inside the body with a flashlight and mirror and track the pickup wire coming from the bridge to see if it goes to the controls and directly to the output jack, or if it goes to some other electronics box (preamp) and to see if there is a battery connector or a battery inside.

    • daionsonline Says:
      February 9, 2015 at 12:09 am

      Had never seen an Azumi until this post. Right offhand, the Azumi is a bolt on neck guitar, while the Daion Mk. XX is a nine piece laminated neck through design with laminated body wings. I would imagine the Azumi to be typical of any cheap Japanese guitar of that era, similar to Westone, Ibanez, etc… Daions were comparatively very expensive new (like two to three times more) and a handmade high end instrument. Would be like comparing a Fender Squire to a Paul Reed Smith. Price now, I’d expect the Azumi to be a $200-300 guitar in mint condition. $1,000 plus for a good Mk. XX now.

      Not real sure what the association is. Before releasing their original designs, Daion was an instrument distributor that dealt with many different companies and many different grades of instrument, some of the not very good. The original designs and some of the late Daion copy guitars were made by Yamaki.

    Hi, Daion 80 for sale. Serial 30062719 I think (the 1 is faint). Located in Edinburgh.

    I came across this site when researching my guitar, which turns out to be a Daion ‘the 80’. Really interesting blog and history, thank you.

    My 80 is in fantastic condition having been a much loved couch guitar for around 20 years since my uncle, a collector, gifted it to me. it has a couple of minor dunts and imperfections here and there but is incredibly sturdy and polishes still to a beautiful luster. original brass nut and bridge though two of the brass tuning pegs are lost and replaced with plastic ones. Light fret indentation on the first and second. I will send detailed photos to anyone interested.

    Sound is just fantastic and the reason it has stayed with me for so long. Wonderful projection and an unearthly combination of deep and rounded, but at the same time brilliant tone. Selling as I play only fingerstyle jazz now and that’s just not what it’s for.

    I could find two previous examples online today both of which seemed to have replaced bridges, and both went for around £500, so that’s my price. Respectfully I am not interested in low offers, I am confident the quality of the instrument means it will realise it’s value in time. Comes with the quality hard case I received it in, I don’t know whether it is original or not.

    Hi there, selling 2 Daions.

    First one: Daion Gazelle.

    To see pictures and a German description look here: http://kleinanzeigen.ebay.de/anzeigen/s-anzeige/daion-gazelle-elektroakustik-gitarre,-extrem-rar,-japan-vintage/238355476-74-9462?ref=search

    The guitar has 2 main problems I try to explain. I hope you understand what I mean, as English isn´t my mother language:

    1) the top of the guitar was grinded (made thinner) by one of the pre-owners. That causes that the top has lifted a little bit due to string tension. So the top isn´t really plain anymore (little bit wavy) and the actions is higher than it should be. I played the guitar with a D-tuning to handle this, which worked quite fine. Maybe someone who is talented can fix this problem better than me.

    2) The original control knobs were removed and replaced by an active preamp system (see pictures).

    Besides that, the guitar is in nearly perfect condition. You see the age of the guitar nearly only at the tuners. The finish has only some nearly invisible scratches in the first coating layer. And: The original case with matching serial number is included.

    Please make me an offer if you are interested. Due to the condition I sell this guitar as damaged and there are no returns accepted and no guarantee included.

    I am located in Germany, shipping is possible within the moste european countries for 21€ on own risk of the buyer.

    Second one: Daion L-9

    Nearly like new, can send pictures. If somebody is interested, please drop me a line.

    Hi folks, I have a Headhunter 555 in tobacco sunburst in reasonably nice condition (Has a few small marks on the front and back of the body and one at the top of the headstock) with the original Daion hardcase still in good condition including the original label on it, with serial no. 83034, which corresponds to the serial no. on the guitar label still intact in the body signed by the manufacturer.The machine heads are still in excellent condition turning smoothly and light to the touch.No scratchy switches which are still original, in fact the whole guitar is still in original state. I have set it up and it has the most beautiful playing action I have yet encountered. This is truly an awesome well made (with quality components) great sounding instrument. Makes me wonder why someone who has built such a wonderful instrument is not around in the market place anymore. My price is $2,000 My gibson costs much more and this Daion is in leaugue if not better!
    Will send pic’s to interested parties

    Hi. I am so excited. I just bought a Daion l-999 from a used goods dealer for about $35. When I saw the little guitar I just knew it is something very special. I sat down in the store, tuned the guitar and played it for about 45 minutes. I couldn’t believe beautiful full sound and tone. I did research on google while in the store in Johannesburg South Africa and realized this is a very special little guitar. It needs a little attention but is in very fair condition considering that it was built in 1982. I would love to know what the value is. Can anybody help? Many thanks and blessings peter peprincc@gmail.com

    I am surveying the interest, I have the red/tan powermark xx guitar with original case and all (I believe) original hardware. It has some cosmetic issues, several chips, but it is overall the beautiful guitar we’ve all fallen in love with. When I got it, the fretboard was/is in good condition but the frets were rutted to hell so I had it re-fretted.I play acoustic almost exclusively nowadays though and am looking to get the guitar to a good home where people will truly appreciate it if the going price is compelling. I was just playing it tonight and it makes me twinge a little, but I have other toys I want to buy. Plus, I still have a 1960 Telecaster to tide my retro bug ;). Interested parties contact me at: MZachThompsonRN@gmail.com and I will send you pics of the current condition. I may list it on ebay if there is enough interest and the $ calls me.

    I guess thats too much for a case for you. If not, let me know.

    “CONUS” means continental United States – the 48 contiguous states (all but Hawaii and Alaska). I’ve never had something as big as a guitar case shipped from 1/2 way around the world (I’m in California), but I guess I assume it’s too expensive to be worth it. But if it’s in relatively good shape, I’d certainly be interested if shipping isn’t too much. Do you have any idea what shipping would cost? And, of course, how much do you want for it?

      I have 2 Savage basses I’ve been considering selling, as they’ve been sitting and not been played much. A yellow fretted and a blue fretless (no fret lines on the neck). Both have cases, although not original Daion cases. The basses and their cases are in very good condition. Not interested in trading though. I live in WA state. Let me know if you’re interested in one or both!

    Hey there, I´ve got one for sale. Contact me at SkyFlyer86@web.de
    Well, but to be honest, I´m a little bit confused about the Daion cases. I´ve got a Power Mark XX and a second case (which is the original one and completely the same that I have vor sale), but the guitar doesn´t really fit in the case. It moves in the case when closed, so it doesn´t really feel protected in it for me. Anyone there who has the same problem?

    • daionsonline Says:
      October 20, 2013 at 12:38 pm

      The original cases get worn over time. The foam degrades in the pocket under the neck and lets the guitar wallow around a little. Another thing to watch is that the pad at the back end of the guitar also degrades and there are screws that can come through and chew up the finish. Ask me how i know.

    “81” caribou for sale. Well hi all. First, thanx for all the info on this site that I just found. Second, I have a very nice “81” Caribou 6 string acoustic electric I need to sell. I haven’t been able to play in several years due to a hand injury that caused me to retire from work, and it doesn’t look like that will change. Anyhoo, I used to play a lot in church and never really wailed on it except occasionally at home messing around. Never intended to sell it but if I don’t it will just lay in the closet gathering dust.
    From reading a bunch on this site I gather it’s worth about $1000 or so. It is in excellent condition with a couple small dings that didn’t even break through the finish. Plays and sounds excellent.
    The 9 volt battery box that powers the equalizer is missing the little spring tab to keep it inside the compartment, but it stays in when you push it into the eq. Part that is broken is a standard battery holder and can be replaced without any problem.
    If anyone is interested please contact me at jrfixer@aol.com. I do have a good padded case with it although not the original. I am in Tampa Florida. I will ship it worldwide to purchaser. Please contact me if my price info is not accurate. Thanx, Jerry

    Nigel, I have a Daion Mugen Mark V, rare, all original, with a Martin traveling hard shell case. I am going to be listing it on eBay. Raj was also interested in this. I have been travelling and have been delayed on getting pictures of it to send out, let alone list it on eBay. The serial number is identifiable and early 80’s … 81 or 82 as far as I can find out. I cannot find a reliable list of serial numbers anywhere.

    Received your comment regarding wasting your time with a bad email address. Not sure if it was meant for me, because we did correspond on January 8 and 9 regarding my Headhunter, Mark XX for sale, and you said they were “too pricey”.
    You were also interested in my Westbury guitars for sale. There was quite a bit of interest in the Westburys. The TN2000 sold for $2000 to the UK, the Custom S for $950, the Custom for $750, and the Series 200 for $500. I have always thought these were these were superb guitars, and greatly undervalued. It is nice to see these amazing guitars being recognized.
    Good luck.

I need, though, info on Daion’s proto type involvement in the SB-40. Such as documents in any form, pictures, contacts to retired Daion techs/engineers/records etc. ANYTHING at all helps. Hoping something pops up. I am also MEKer on talkbass.com

    I have a Headhunter for sale. Honey sunburst. Just a few small dings, 1mm x 2mm probably the biggest. Only finish missing is a couple tiny scratches at extreme end of headstock and a ccouple small ones around butt-end strap button. Gold plating on keys and bridge very slightly detiorated. Guitar is probably 85-90% perfect. Eletronics great. Sounds great.

    No case. No label sticker inside.

    Located near Nashville.

    This will go on ebay soon unless someone here is kind enough to make an offer.

    Hi,

    would perhaps sell my Daion guitar case if the price is good enough (maybe a collector is missing his Daions case). It looks like a Les Paul case, so it maybe for a Les Paul copy, but as one of my Les Paul copys headstocks touched the buttom of the case when being put in it, I think it is perhaps a case for a Daion Power model ? It´s located in Germany.

    And besides that: I´m looking for a Daion Power, Headhunter, Caribou or Gazelle here in Germany. If somebody has one for sale let me know.

    I am considering to sell my Daion The ’79 BR and was wondering what it is worth? I haven’t found any information or reference about a similar item for sale, most guitars for sale tend to be the ’78 or ’80 or later year series. The guitar has a wonderful sound and is in a very good condition considering its age. It comes with a case (not sure if it’s Daion but its shape matches perfectly with the guitar).

    Hi there, just to let anyone know, my Dark Brown Daion Headhunter HH-555 (1983), with hiscox hardcase (new), is available on ebay for 10 days. Available to the UK, and a handful of European countries.

    Serial 83037H, so an 83 model.

    Excellent condition, one or two small headstock dings (dark), visible in photos, small millimeter ding in laquer above sound-hole. Overall, very good condition. Hiscox case is new (with tags). Delivery will be secure and packaged as well as possible, but more than likely expensive to Mainland Europe (prices seem to have gone up quite a bit in last year).

    Courier costs still be decided. Chasing DHL to get prices.

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=271046759871&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:GB:1123

    Available for 10 days. Photos also visible in Facebook’s Daion Owners group, uploaded by myself awhile back.

    I have a green 1981 Daion Power Mark II in excellent condition for sale. It was bought in 1997, and I am only the second owner. Sounds incredible (as expected), and has almost never been played in the last 10 years. I’ll gladly answer any questions from serious buyers. I’m in south Florida, but will ship. Offers???

    Hi Peter,

    Thanks for the interest. I bought the guitar from a friend about 15 years ago. Used it on a show a couple of times live and after that it’s just sat gathering dust which is a shame as it’s a beautiful instrument!

    I’d never heard of the make when I got it so just assumed it was some kind of “cheap” make. That never really made sense though as it played so well and sounded great.

    It’s in it’s original case. There is some damage to the back of the case but it doesn’t affect the guitar inside due to how it sits.

    Hope this helps

    I can send some photos if you let me have an email

    Best Wishes

    Ian

    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.

    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:

    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 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

    • 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.

    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.

    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.

    I have seen a Daion Ovation copy on ebay but can not get any reference for it. Is this a cheap chinese knock off, because that’s what it looks like?
    Meantime I am interested in buying a Caribou and Goldtop HH if anyone is interested in selling.

    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.

    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 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

    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!

        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.

        Most likely I will put it on eBay as this is probably the safest for all concerned, but if you like you can make me an offer before I do that. My number is 0402 060 922.

    I have an ’81 white Savage bass (S/N 10492) for sale or preferably trade for a Savage guitar. It is in excellent condition! An original case, warranty card, original Bill of sale/ hangtags… I am the second owner of this instrument, it’s got a great feel but I’m more of a guitarist. I’m located in the U.S. Offers? Email me: chilly88@gmail.com

      Hi Chilly,
      Is your savage bass still for sale? I am living in Europe. Could you eventually send it to Europe?

      Thanks

      Hi everyone, I have decided that my lovely Daions have to go as I just don’t play them anymore – they are – as preciously said – an early ’80s L-999 and a Heritage ’78 12 string – bothin very good condition with no issues. See my youtube vids here :

      and the twelve on:

      Hello Andrew,

      Love your guitars. I actually owned an L-999 many years ago. Sweet guitar.

      How much are you asking for that one?

      Would you consider a trade for some fine art?

      I’ve done the first poster for the Dixie Chicks and a mural featuring Ted Nugent.

      See my art work at http://www.rayistre.com

      I would be very generous in a trade for the L-999.
