This is my new baby, but I don't have any information, on the wood and who this was made for, since I bought it used but in mint condition. It looks like a custom made because of the inlays and fretboard is not ebony like all orions I have seen, any help will be appreciated.

Beautiful flame on that top.  The tailpiece and bridge are SHINY.  It's either incredibly clean brass or perhaps gold plated?  Same with the tuner keys... the color doesn't look quite right to be brass.  Gold?
