The SAVAGE Series has a rather unique body shape featuring an asymmetrical negative cutaway on the bottom. The SAVAGE Series were the only instruments from Daion that had bolt-on necks and pickguards (as the control cavity was routed from the top like a Fender). Strings were routed through the body like other Daion electrics, however the nut was white plastic rather than brass, which was a departure for Daion.

For guitars, there were four models: Savage, Barbarian, Veteran, and Berserker, though the Savage and Barbarian were sold in most markets, the Veteran and Berserker appears only to have only been available select markets (namely Europe) and were not originally sold in the United States.

Necks had rosewood fingerboards with 22 frets with pearloid dot position markers. Early production had a bare wood headstock. In later production the headstock had black plastic veneer.

There were a wide range of finishes available (in primary solid colors) - white, black, yellow, red, and blue. Knobs were black plastic. Bridge bases were chrome with brass saddles and side screws to lock everything in place.

Savage

The most popular model, it features two “Power Pulse” humbucker pickups with the three screw anti-tilt feature, a single coil tap mini-toggle switch, a traditional three-way pickup selector, and two volume and two tone controls.
