Made by Yamaki. Come visit us at Daions Online for more info. And by the way, Michael Wright, we are in direct contact with Hirotsugu Teradaira! Spent five days chatting with him in Copenhagen in early November, 2019. Pics of the meeting and lots of other Daion owners at the Daions Online Facebook group, too.

I have a Daion Power Mark II which I purchased in 1982 at a music store in Santa Monica Ca. It is the finest guitar I have ever played. And it looks damn good. After all these years, I still play the guitar everyday.

I own a Daion Powermark II electric guitar, which I purchased in 1982. It is the most awsome guitar I have ever played. I would never sell it.

Hi Michael, just came across this article while researching the PowerMark XX I just purchased. It’s not only a good resource for those of us who are interested, an enjoyable read.

My version is ’81 and it looks like it’s been sitting in a case for 37 years. The woodwork and finish is stellar.

It looks like I’m going to be deep diving into your writing. Thanks for sharing.

I bought my black solid body electric from Tippetts Music in Gulfport, MS on July 20, 1980. A birthday present to myself. I still own it and will still my passing.

I owned one back in the late 80’s. Bougt it brand new. Used Fender superbullets strings on it. The tonal quality, and range, was very good. The only problem I remember, was the “to sharp” edge on the point where the strings left the brigde. Cause of constant string breakage at this spot, I had to rub down these edges to save money….??

This is meant for Brian McClatchie. I saw your post from 2012 so I don’t know if you would even see this but I own an identical Power Mark xx-B as seen in these pictures. its an 1981 issue with the original case. its in excellent shape, only flaw is its missing one of the original knobs. other than that its in like new condition. The guy I bought it from got it as payment for some other stuff back in the 90’s. stuck it in his closet and forgot about it until recently. He then sold it to me. I would not let it go for less than $1000.00 as I love the way this plays and Ido play bass. I prefer fretless and that is the only reason I would sell this gem. Let me know…

Thanks for writing this. I have a Mark XX and have been trying for years to get more information on the history of the guitar. My serial number starts with 80. Does that mean it was made in 1980? My brother bought it new and I purchased it from him many years ago. It is a great all-around player, great feel, great tone. Thanks for writing this article.

I believe the Power series to originate after 1976 with the knobs being made of rosewood being the earliest. The switches are for single coil or humbucker. I have one and used to belong to a Daion guitar forum. Mine is rosewood, maple, and what looks to be mahogany. It is an incredible guitar. I have an Electra copy of a LesPaul that someone put old humbucking PUs in and it is sweet too; but worth little as a collector item.

Have an identical Daion to the one in the photographs. I bought it in early 2000’s second hand here in South Africa. Paid the equivalent of US$ 300 for it + original hard case. A work of art which is an absolute pleasure to work with. Wonderful all-rounder, I play play blues/rock/country/jazz and other and it fits them all. I wouldn’t trade it for a Gibson or a Strat!!!! So happy to find someone else who likes and enjoys these guitars as much as I do.

I just read your article while waiting for my flight and I’m impressed with your content. You have several bold and original ideas that I can relate to and respect.
