Those are probably the most expensive keyboards beside industrial SSK's one can buy today? I remember reading in a GH thread that it's even not easy to get such board, but i think it was another one, but very similar. The case all in all looks like it's being made from Apple (or it's suppliers).
The brass plate is just for weight and for the sake of being flashy.
The GB price for this board was about $450, and I was lucky enough to get it for that price.. It sells for about $750 market price in this colour, since it's a bit rarer than the other colour available. 360c isn't easy to get on GH/DT but is fairly easy to get on the Chinese/Korean forums. I think even $750 is an ok price. The machining, finishing and anodising is top notch. Incredibly high quality. I have absolutely no complaints.
Other OTD boards can be more expensive though. The 356CL was a similar price at GB years ago, but your chances of getting one are pretty much zero. I think they sell for about $2000+?
Funny you say it looks like it's from Apple.. The colour of this one is apple silver

So you Cherry guys are as mad for certain G80 and G81 models essentially so you can harvest caps for something like this? That would explain everything!
G81s yes, G80s no! G80s are just as lovely as this custom but in their own way.
