Hi.
I also just bought a 2nd hand Takamine guitar. Small body, black model no. EF261SBL. It has a wonderful warm sound. Any idea of the year that this guitar was made and the value?

Thank you!

Diane

Hi, as long as this Tak was made in Japan, then the first two digits of the serial number are always the date of manufacture, Look like you've got an '85.
