Hi gang.
It's a bit late to worry about it now as I have already bought it (sight unseen), but does anyone know anything about the above mentioned guitar.
I have spent a couple of hours searching the net (without much success) looking for info on the Daion B54.
All I have come up with is a few photos from a Swedish site that does not have any information on the model. See link, http://www.vintage-guitars.se/1982_Daio ... 82281D.htm
If anyone can help me out It would be appreciated.
Photos will be posted some time in the next few weeks after I have have had a chance to pick it up.
Cheers
Don

WOW! When anyone talks about clean or classic lines in guitar construction a pic of this in the pocket would get the point across quite nicely I think.

That neck grain is something else. Never seen a barbershop/candy cane swirl like that before.

Don, if that plays up to even a quarter of its looks I'd think you have nothing to worry about. :up: :up:

More pics when it arrives, obviously. :drool: :drool:

Just an afterthought. How many different models and manufacturers used that very similar MIJ black w/ gold lettering sticker? It is nearly a dead ringer for the one on the back of my wife's Memphis 4 string.

Sorry to say that the photos are not of the guitar that I have purchased.
They are just for an example of what it will look like (I hope).
Fingers crossed that mine will look that good when I get it :wink:

Now that you mention it.
I seem to recall seeing this style of sticker on lots of guitars.

Don, if she's anywhere near the quality of Jesper's electrics you're going to have a winner there matey!
Fingers and assorted appendages crossed in anticipation!
