Takamine date of manufacture?

I bought a used Takamine EN10 from Steve at the excellent Eagle Music in Huddersfield some years ago. The instrument originally belonged to Dave Burland who had traded it in for another guitar. I am now 'down sizing' and the guitar is up for sale. The serial number is 92100627,
does anybody know how this relates to the date of manufacture?

Site here for dating Takemines from reference numbers.

Cheers

Your reference number gives; "The guitar was manufactured Tuesday, October 06th, 1992. It was the 27th guitar made that day."

Going from that I would guess the system they use is: YY/MM/DD/##
