Wylde Audio Rawtop Buzzsaw Goregehn Guitar vs Wylde Audio Metallic Green Warhammer NT Norse Dragon Bullseye Guitar B-Stock
Both are high-end metal guitars with nearly identical construction and electronics, but the Goregehn Rawtop Buzzsaw features a flamed maple top for visual distinction and standard hardware, while the Warhammer NT is a B-Stock unit with cosmetic damage, a bold Metallic Green finish, and locking bridge hardware at a lower price point. The Goregehn suits players prioritizing pristine aesthetics and traditional appeal; the Warhammer appeals to budget-conscious players who accept minor cosmetic wear for savings and prefer a locking bridge's tuning stability.
No sales tax on orders shipped outside California — total cost beats national retailers that charge sales tax in nearly every state.

Frequently asked questions
What's the actual difference in playability between these two?
Playability is virtually identical—both feature the Zakk 'C' neck profile, 24.625" scale, 22 X-Jumbo frets, ebony fretboard, and deep insert joint construction. The only functional difference is the Warhammer's locking bridge versus the Goregehn's standard TonePros bridge.
How different are the pickups and electronics?
The Goregehn uses EMG 81 bridge and EMG 85 neck; the Warhammer reverses this with EMG 85 neck and EMG 81 bridge. Both feature independent volume controls, master tone, and 3-way toggle. The difference in pickup order affects bridge aggression versus neck warmth slightly, but both are metal-focused configurations.
What does B-Stock mean and is the cosmetic damage a dealbreaker?
B-Stock means the Warhammer is unplayed but has minor cosmetic damage—specifically to the lower wing tip. Structurally and tonally it is identical to new stock; cosmetic impact depends on whether you display the back or lower horn during performance or in photos.
Which is better for drop tuning and aggressive bending?
Both handle drop tunings equally well due to identical construction. The Warhammer's locking bridge provides marginally better tuning retention during extreme bending; the Goregehn's standard bridge is fully capable but requires slightly more frequent fine-tuning with heavy styles.
