Rare 1978 Daion THE '78 Heritage 12-String, Made in Japan, Very Cool, Very Collectable !
Serial Number: 158972 , Weight: 5 Lbs. 2 Ozs.
CONDITION: The overall condition is Very Good, it has been completely gone over and has no structural issues, No Repairs, No Damage. It shows light play wear and there are a few slight imperfections on the top and some pick scratches from being played but all and all it has a killer vintage vibe and the patina you would expect from a almost 50 year old guitar. It is nice !
The Daion THE '78 Heritage 12-String is a testament to the craftsmanship and innovation of the late 1970s and early 1980s. This model was handcrafted in the Yamaki workshop in Japan and is known for its exceptional sound and design. The guitar's cedar top and ovangkol back/sides contribute to its warm tone, while the mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard provide a comfortable playing experience. The Heritage model is particularly noted for its brass nut, dot inlays, and the use of high-gloss finishes, which add to its vintage vibe. Despite its age, the guitar remains a sought-after instrument for its quality and the legacy of the Daion brand.
