![]() ![]() However, this system is only relevant for up to the end of 2012 ? after that they adopted a new system (see overseas models below). Said another way, this was the 781 st Pro Series guitar that Takamine built in April of 2008. But let?s take a look at an example to make it really clear.įrom our example serial number we can see that this guitar would have been built in 2008 ( 08), in April ( 04) and it was the 781 st ( 0781) guitar built that month. The last 4 numbers represent the sequential order of that guitar for the month. The next 2 numbers represent the month of production. The first 2 numbers represent the year of production. Takamine?s Pro Series (which is pretty much all of their series except for the G series) models follow an 8 digit serial number system. There are a couple of different serial number systems depending on which model and depending on where they were made and distributed. Thankfully this is fairly straight forward when it comes to Takamine, though there are, as usual, a few extras. ![]() Now we come the important part ? decoding the serial number. TAKAMINE SERIAL NUMBER SERIAL NUMBERSTakamine serial numbers are typically found on the neck block (where the neck joins the body) on the inside of the body of the guitar. So, the main thing this serial number will tell you is finding out the month and year of build. But for most, the exact day of build and the sequential number it was built in that month, isn?t that important anyway. This might give you some clue as to the day in the month it was made but not an accurate one ? for example, if your guitar was the 5 th built that month, then it was likely to be on one of the first days of the month. the 1st guitar that month, the 22 nd, the 1,000 th etc. It also tells you which number guitar produced your guitar was, during the particular month i.e. ![]() The main things that the guitar’s serial number tells you is the date your guitar was built more specifically the month and the year ? not the exact day. 5.2.1 Image Credits What They Can Tell You About Your Guitar ![]()
