Daion Mugen Mark
Daionβs dreadnought series is based on the classic design developed by C.F. Martin & Company in 1929, which later became the blueprint for the most popular and widely copied steel-string acoustic guitars. Because of their large, deep bodies, these guitars produce a full, rich, and balanced tone with excellent sustain. In addition, all Daion Mark guitars feature a solid cedar headstock, a mahogany neck, a bone saddle, and a uniquely shaped rosewood veneer pickguard, combining traditional craftsmanship with a distinctive visual style.
Mugen Mark I
The Mark I features a solid cedar top paired with a mahogany neck, back, and sides, producing a warm, rich, and resonant tone. It comes equipped with a bone nut, a smooth rosewood fingerboard, and a rosewood bridge. The headstock is elegantly finished with a rosewood veneer and proudly displays a hand-crafted logo. The soundhole rosette combines rosewood and maple for subtle decorative detail, while the pickguard is also crafted from rosewood. Premium tuning machines provide precise intonation and are ideally suited for light strings (.012β.054).
