Washburn built the PXL-MR27B-D-U as a Marc Rizzo signature model within the Parallaxe Series, positioned as a seven-string electric guitar designed around extended-range performance. The designation L27 identified it as Rizzo's updated collaboration with Washburn, targeting players who required the additional low string without sacrificing clarity across the full register.
The guitar was constructed with a mahogany body and mahogany neck, topped with an ebony fretboard. Scale length runs 24-3/4", and the nut width is set by the standard Parallaxe platform. Hardware is finished in black throughout, with a Tune-O-Matic bridge and Grover 18:1 locking tuners. The Buzz Feiten Tuning System was incorporated to address intonation across the extended range. Active EMG 707 pickups — USA-made — occupy both positions in an H-H configuration, selected via a 3-way switch and governed by a 2-volume, 1-tone control layout. The source notes an extra-deep cutaway providing access to the upper frets. Strings were factory-fitted with D'Addario XL120-7 seven-string sets. The finish is gloss black.
Owners sourcing replacement parts should note that the Tune-O-Matic bridge accepts standard TOM saddles and posts; the Grover locking tuners use conventional 18:1 machine head replacements. For setup, intonation adjustment, or electronics work on the active EMG circuit, consult a qualified guitar technician familiar with extended-range instruments.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
What do you know about this one?
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
