1982 Daion B55E Acoustic Electric Dreadnought Guitar

Rare Model

Made in Japan

Very cool and fairly rare 1982 Daion B55E acoustic electric dreadnought guitar. This model came factory equipped with the unique fingerboard inlays as pictured as well as an under saddle pickup system, although the pickup has since been removed.

Overall, this guitar is in very good vintage condition. It has been played over the years and does show honest cosmetic wear consistent with age and use, but there are no signs of abuse. There are no cracks, breaks, repairs or other notable damage. The bridge is tight, the neck is straight and the truss rod operates exactly as it should.

This guitar plays great over the entire fingerboard and has a comfortable action with the current string height measuring just a hair under 3/32" at the body.

Specs:

• Scale length: 25.4"

• Nut width: 1.73"

• Lower bout: 15-5/8"

No case is included with this sale.

Although I feel the guitar is set up well and plays great, everyone has their own personal preferences when it comes to setup and strings. Any adjustments, setup work or string changes desired after purchase would be the responsibility and cost of the buyer.

I will ship internationally, but buyers outside of the continental United States must contact me first for an accurate shipping quote before purchasing. The buyer is responsible for all shipping costs, customs charges, taxes or any other import-related fees. I do not inflate shipping costs and will only ship to the address provided on the sales record.
