This one has come up before, but I figured why not give it another run as it's up for auction again.
"Glam Rock" might be a little over the top, but is certainly not a Daion
for the shy or faint hearted! It's a "Strat" style model but not
identified as either a Performer or Rockson MDL on the headstock,
although the seller seems to protest that it isn't a "Korean Performer"
model. The neck is a maple unit with the traditional skunk stripe on the
rear.
It's painted in a rather bright orangy-red metallic colour on both the
body and headstock, and fitted with a white pickguard and volume and
tone knobs. The selector pickup knob looks more like a Tele style one in
black.
Pickups are stated as being the original Daion ones in a "Single Single
Humbucker" pickup combination. The bridge is a vintage Floyd Rose
Tremolo unit, and there is also some form of strin guide on the
headstock.

DAION HSS SIMILAR TO STRATOCASTER STYLE
LAST TIME TO BE LISTED
I NEED TO CULL A FEW GUITARS FROM THE HERD
SO THIS COOL GUITAR HAS TO GO!
I PURCHASED THIS GUITAR A FEW YEARS BACK FROM A MUSICIAN WHO INDICATED THAT IT WAS A MADE IN JAPAN DAION LATE
1980'S EARLY 90'S.
I HAVE A KOREAN MADE DAION AND HAVE HAD OTHER KOREAN
MADE ELECTRICS. The daion I am selling on this listing appears to be of a
much higher quality, so I have no reason to dispute it's origin. I have
not taken the neck off to see if there are any markings to prove its
provenance.
