Ash JEM questions

[Karmann]

I have some general JEM questions...
1 - What are Bad Horsie and Neville made of? Northern Hard Ash or Southern Soft (Swamp) Ash?
2 - Why don't both of these wonders have the lion's claw? Is ash too fragile to have them?
3 - Does the lion's claw have a real use, or is it just a cosmetic feature? I never played a JEM or Rg but in what i see in pictures, it looks that the tremolo can go far back the same on both guitars... well,
i don't know... that's why i asked....
4 - Does the Neville headstock have a rosewood veneer?
5 - Ok... as far as I know, ash is a bright sounding wood, so... wouldn't the Evos be a little to bright for these ash JEMs? I'm planning on a custom ash JEM, and would like suggestions between the Evos and Breeds

Thank for the attention... and please excuse me for this poor english...
