I've thought about going with an IRW with an ebony board. It's quite expensive. I love IRW for sure, before tuners an IRW neck with the options I want would run me $438. If I were to get an IRW with an ebony board the price would jump up to $470+. A roasted maple neck would be $298 with my options and a wenge with IRW fretboard would be about $360. So, price is a bit of a factor at the moment thanks to some unexpected turmoil in the economy over here.
An IRW neck with an ebony board or even another all IRW neck is really my choice for the WLH set. That being said, the price difference could mean waiting an extra month or so to order the neck versus getting a roasted maple.
In the past I have loved the voodoo Les Paul from Gibson. Minus the subtle differences between the bolt on versus set neck... an IRW neck with an ebony board would be somewhat similar (but richer IMO) to the mahogany/ebony necks found on the voodoo LP's. I know I like that tone so really it's just a question of patience to complete this guitar in terms of cost versus funds.
