I've seen a gold hardware TBird before. In white, modern headstock, black teflon pups, late eighties or early nineties, did not have a Custom Shop stamp, but must have been original, I'm not aware that a gold three point was ever available aftermarket. It looked alright if you like that Gretsch look. If they do something like that now, I'd wish they'd do in a three pup style as with a Firebird VII.
