I have a new solid swamp ash Warmoth carved top Regal on the way. It is finished in transparent blue similar to this:

I have a set of WLH for the pickups but it's time for me to order a neck in the next few weeks. I originally wanted an all bocote neck but Warmoth does not trust the scarf joint with such an oily wood so it's back to the drawing board. The neck will be a 24.75" conversion scale, 59 roundback profile with stainless steel frets. These are the four options I am considering:
1. All roasted maple
2. Roasted maple with Indian rosewood fretboard
3. Wenge with Indian rosewood fretboard
4. All Indian rosewood
I currently have an Indian rosewood neck on a chambered mahogany body and a wenge neck with a ziricote fretboard on a chambered black korina body. I love those necks but a lot of people have told me great things about roasted maple necks too, so I'm curious about them a bit. What neck would you choose and why?
