Daion Year Series Dreadnoughts - PHOTOS

Each model was as different as the year it was named for. The Daion Year Series were each built to reasonably high standards, and were a great value for their cost..  A brass nut and saddle was available on most models, and contributed to increased sustain and enhanced tone. The 1982 Daion Catalogue claimed: "These guitars produce a rich, full sound with excellent volume and projection".
