: I own a xk7b/b roadstar black it has original price tag on it $339.99 it is mint. the serial# will reveal date of manufactre look for to digits with 7 or 8 in it. they are usually in the middle area of the # or remove the neck it will reveal exact date. I love mine- light fast action good pick ups dont sell it for less then $800.00 if it is original. I would like to know more about mako myself. the les paul copy and tele copy appear to be worth much less the xk7 seems to be an origanal creation cuz they where sued by american guitar companys for copy right infringement only a couple of years earlier .the xk7 resembles the new fender tele custom it sells for $500.00 on sale this should give you a good idea of your makos rareity and collectability. the xk7 seems to be the last model they made and is of superior quality I wont sell mine cuz i like to be unique. keep rockin Don
