It would be so nice if you could help with additional information about 1997 Orion 5 Mahogany/Zebrawood #97OW11235 USA. Many thanks.

These pictures were shot by previous owner. My precious needs some good cleaning and polishing, though. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 8403 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Thursday, February 12, 2015 - 7:58 pm:    Here's what I found in the instrument file: serial:97OW11235 name: Orion model: OLB5 top: Zebrawood (quartersawn) accent: Maple pinstripe body: Mahogany shape: Orion neck: 5-piece Maple with 4 Walnut pinstripes, set neck construction scale: 34" long fingerboard: Ebony inlays: none side markers: bronze dots peghead: Europa 3+2 pickups: MXY56 electronics: "Epic/Orion" volume, pan, bass cut/boost, treble cut/boost, mono output finish: satin natural polyurethane (oil-look) backplate: plastic hardware: polished brass originally made for: Guitar Center, Atlanta, GA birthday: January 5, 1997 The original owner was in Georgia.
