That's really interesting you're the same on the colour scheme. I wouldn't rule out gold hardware either, if it was "right", and I've recently acquired a sunburst strat with maple fingerboard (I think it's the maple/sunburst that I'm not so sure about), and I kinda love that now...
If it's got a good tone, Wez could probably make you a couple of lapsteels out of it (the door, that is :D)
