Daion Headhunter HH-555
Overview
Brand name:
Product:
- electric guitars
The semi-solid Daion 555 Headhunter was loosely based on the Gibson ES-335, but had a cutaway on the bottom of the body. The body had a solid central block of maple and spruce laminate but with grooves cut into each end to increase resonance.
Pickups were two humbuckers with a coil split function for each. Hardware was goldplated, the fixed bridge had through-body stringing, a first for semi-hollow guitars. Finish options were: gold, brown, burgundy, honey sunburst and tobacco sunburst.

| 2010 | $1902 | excellent | guitar-list | Not my guitar - the sale was reported online. |
| 2012 | $950 | good | Paid $950, all original parts, but no original case. It needed a refret and setup, so it was about $1300 to get it playable. It's great now, so I still consider it well bought. | |
| 2012 | $500 | good | Brando | I absolutely love this guitar and would like to know more about it. It is a 1982 Headhunter retrofitted with seymour duncan pickups. It sounds as good as my Les Paul!! |
