Isn’t that the year they started labelling their guitars Takame? I live I’m Melbourne, maybe I’ll start going around sum guitar/music shops, see what I can dig up. Thanks guys.
I've seen many different variations of the name on the headstock as well as different wording on the labels - some say 'Made in Japan' some don't, some say made by Takamine some don't.

Mine was made right at the very end of the Wayne/Takamine partnership and actually has the Takamine name on the headstock.

It was gold but has faded.
