Guess 1 is Indian rosewood... Guess 2 is pau ferro... Strength I don't feel matters a lot because even a pine neck is sufficiently strong for an electric. Only thing I can think of is that they want movement in the neck thickness minimized.

Oddly, the zebrawood body looks to be perfectly quartered?!
