Frequently asked questions
What is the main playability difference between these guitars?
The Warhammer has a set neck joint optimized for lead work and sustain, while the Goregehn has a slightly thicker neck profile (0.83"-0.96" vs. standard) that some players find more comfortable for heavy rhythm and riffing. Both use the same 24.625" scale and 14" radius, so the difference is subtle.
Why is the Goregehn cheaper, and what is the catch?
The Goregehn is B-stock with a documented visible body crack near the knobs. The structural integrity is not compromised and tone is unaffected, but cosmetics are permanently damaged. The Warhammer is new condition with no defects.
Which bridge is better for my playing style?
The Warhammer's Floyd Rose 1000 Series is ideal if you use tremolo effects, dive bombs, or frequently drop-tune live. The Goregehn's TonePros fixed bridge is simpler to maintain, requires no tremolo blocking tricks, and holds tuning more predictably for standard drop-tuning without tremolo use.
Are the pickups and electronics truly equivalent?
Both use EMG 81 and EMG 85 humbuckers in high-output configuration. The Warhammer pairs EMG 81 (bridge) and EMG 85 (neck), while the Goregehn reverses this to EMG 85 (neck) and EMG 81 (bridge). The Goregehn's Buzzsaw covers are cosmetic; tone character is nearly identical with reversed pickup roles.
