How can I tell what year my guitar was made?

Question

I recently bought a Takamine EF385. I'm guessing it's about mid-90's but I would like to know for sure.

Answer 1

Some guitars carved what year was it made in the guitar but some has inside the hole (better get a flashlight) If not then you can always do some researching in google, yahoo or wikipedia. And yours Takamine EF385 was made from the year 1999.

Answer 2

Look inside the soundhole of your guitar.  There should be a serial number somewhere inside it.  The serial number should be 8 digits with no letters.

Then go to the website listed below, type in the serial number and press Enter, and it will tell you the date your guitar was built.
