Description

Washburn positioned the PXL20EWH within its Parallaxe Series as a dedicated rock and metal instrument, drawing on the company's accumulated guitar-building experience. The single-cut solid body design sat at the purposeful end of the Parallaxe line, built around features that prioritised aggressive playability and tuning stability. The Parallaxe Series as a whole was conceived around what Washburn described as modern, technically demanding players.

The guitar was constructed with a mahogany body and mahogany neck, with an ebony fretboard carrying 22 frets dressed with split pearl block inlays. The 24-3/4" scale runs from a 43 mm graphite nut — a width that falls comfortably in the range of many mahogany-bodied single-cuts. Strung from the factory with D'Addario EXL 120 light gauge strings, the instrument featured a Tune-O-Matic bridge paired with a Buzz Feiten Tuning System, a compensated tuning approach Washburn noted across the PXL range for intonation consistency. Tuning stability was further addressed by black locking Grover Exclusive 18:1 tuners. The pickup layout placed an EMG 85 in the neck position and an EMG 81 at the bridge, selected via a three-way toggle, with independent volume controls for each pickup and a shared tone control. All hardware was finished in black, complementing the gloss white finish.

Owners seeking replacement parts — including Tune-O-Matic saddles, EMG-compatible pickup hardware, or Grover locking tuner components — should verify fit against the specific measurements of their example. A qualified guitar technician can assist with Buzz Feiten compensated nut replacements and setup adjustments specific to that system.

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.

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.

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.
