Frequently asked questions
What is the key bridge difference between these two guitars?
The Warhammer FR uses a Floyd Rose 1000 Series floating bridge for aggressive tremolo work and rapid tuning stability during fast playing. The Goregehn uses a TonePros T3BP Tune-O-Matic bridge with tailpiece, offering traditional fixed-bridge stability without floating complexity.
Why is the Goregehn listed as B-stock, and what damage does it have?
The Goregehn is B-stock because it carries a visible body crack near the knobs, documented in detail photos. This cosmetic flaw significantly reduces the price while the guitar remains fully playable and tonally identical to a mint unit.
Are the pickups and electronics the same on both guitars?
Both use EMG humbuckers, but in reverse order: the Warhammer has EMG 81 bridge and EMG 85 neck, while the Goregehn has EMG 85 neck and EMG 81 bridge. The Goregehn adds independent volume controls and brushed gold Buzzsaw covers for additional tone shaping, while the Warhammer emphasizes minimal noise at high gain.
Which guitar is better for players who use drop tunings and tremolo effects?
The Warhammer FR is specifically engineered for aggressive tremolo use thanks to its Floyd Rose 1000 Series bridge and Floyd Rose nut, making it ideal for players who frequently use whammy bar techniques. The Goregehn's Tune-O-Matic is better for drop tunings without active tremolo work.
