26 Aug 11 - 05:19 AM (#3212920) Subject: Takamine date of manufacture? From: GUEST,Orson Trap 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? |

26 Aug 11 - 06:10 AM (#3212933) Subject: RE: Takamine date of manufacture? From: Nigel Parsons Your reference number gives; "The guitar was manufactured Tuesday, October 06th, 1992. It was the 27th guitar made that day." |
