VH would be american walnut almost all the time. It should not affect the tang inletting. Trigger guard would depend on whether the gun is a straight stock or a pistol grip. The bend is in the wrist area generally behind the trigger guard on a pistol grip stock. Not sure you could bend a straight stock without impacting the trigger guard inletting, although you most likely could apply some heat and bend a straight grip trigger guard.

PS. I'll let others way in on those. I've seen Dan Rossiter bend both straight grips and pistol grips but didn't pay much attention as I had other things running through my head at the time.
