i think no binding at all would look best on a maple fretboard...

Black binding on a guitar with a maple fretboard, black body and headstock... gives it continuity and consistency...

I like the black binding. Kind of gives the guitarv a cool outline.

Black.

I'd go with Ebony fins or blocks as well.

I'm gonna get hurt for this, but how about black fretboard binding, but WHITE headstock binding?

I would bound the HS at least. I would go for white or cream.

NOTP: I was considering going with black on the neck and whote around the headstock but I decided against it. The transition from black to white isn't as graceful as I would like it to be.
Thanks again for all your opinons folks. Looks like black is the way to go!

I think black hardware would look better, JMO.

No, that's a good idea... especially since the body has pins. That's actually what I was thinking when I pictured it in my mind. He just asked about the fretboard though. lol

black binding / sharks - the hardware color is ok but that zebra pup looks out of place to me.
