Here are some photos of a rarely seen guitar from the Daion guitar company,a Japanese maker that was around in the late 70's to early 80's. Many of their model are variations on the classic parlor,dreadnought and jumbo designs. As you can see,the '81 Caribou is something a bit different! This model is part of the "year series",thus the '81 is actually part of the model name. If you would like to learn more about this little known guitar company,there's a whole website dedicated to it here:

| This is the oddest part,a non-original saddle made of stone! |

| A brass nut on an acoustic? It's 1981 alright. |

Odd. The B string seems to be wound the wrong way on the tuner post.
Good eye Captain! Also,those are electric guitar strings. This is far from the poorest stringing style I've seen on incoming guitars. Begining guitarists,stringing your guitar does NOT involve knots! I promise.
