    A cool rare one, Daion’s were made in the Hatsumoku factory and represent the very best Japan offered in the 80’s [ the best period]. Three cutaway body is well balanced. Beautiful honeyburst finish over the highly flamed tiger maple is to die for.  Strong humbuckers,  low action. The diamondstrings Pro-Shop recently dressed the frets to feel and play like new. A previous owner had a custom matching brass pickguard made for it . This can now be an option as Diamond strings has filled the small screwholes and touched them up to match the body color.  They are almost invisible [pickguard is included in the hardshell case].  These have been climbing in price steadily for a while now;  see why! Excellent condition with new hardcase. $1250.
