Washburn built the PXM160C as part of its Parallaxe Series, positioning it as a high-output, fast-playing solid-body electric aimed at demanding shred players. The model featured a double-cutaway, asymmetrical body in Carbon Black Matte with full black hardware throughout.
The guitar was constructed with a basswood body and hard rock maple neck, topped with an Ovangkol fretboard spanning 24 frets over a 25.5-inch scale — a full two octaves. Pickups consisted of a Duncan Designed HB-101 at the neck and a Duncan Designed Distortion HB-103 at the bridge, wired in an H/H configuration through a 3-way selector switch and a single volume and push/pull coil-split tone control. Hardware was finished in black throughout, with a six-saddle adjustable hard-tail bridge and a string-through-body design. Diecast tuners held D'Addario strings. The 12th fret carried a Parallaxe Series inlay alongside standard dot markers.
Owners seeking setup guidance, saddle adjustment, or help sourcing compatible replacement parts — including bridge saddles sized for a standard six-saddle hard-tail, or pickups in a standard humbucker footprint — should consult a qualified guitar technician.
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.
