Guitar Story
In 1992, Takamine Gakki Co., Ltd. controlled the Takamine name. Its one line on record was built at Takamine Sakashita factory (Nakatsugawa) (Japan).[1, 2, 3, 4]
A Takamine guitar from 1992 belongs to whichever era was running on its product line that year. An era is a stretch when the company that controlled the name and the plant that built the line both stayed the same. If you know the line, the table below tells you which version of Takamine you have. The name dates from 1959[3, 4], 33 years before.
| Line | Controlled by | Parent | Built at | Era | Grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Takamine Japan-built (Sakashita; Pro/Legacy and other Japan-made lines) | Takamine Gakki Co., Ltd. | — | Takamine Sakashita factory (Nakatsugawa) | 1962–now | unverified[1, 2, 3, 4] |
Nothing changed in 1992. Every era running that year carried on from an earlier year, so a Takamine from 1992 is the same version as one from 1991.
