Description

Washburn built the PXV260CK-O-U as part of its Parallaxe Series, positioning it as a high-output shred-oriented electric guitar. The model centred on an offset V chambered-edge body design paired with a set neck construction and a reverse katana-inspired headstock.

The mahogany body features a deep body carve intended to ease access to the upper register of the 24-fret Ovangkol fretboard, which runs a full 25-1/2" scale across two complete octaves. The hard rock maple neck carries a Parallaxe inlay at the 12th fret. Electronics comprise a Duncan Designed HB-101 at the neck and a Duncan Designed Distortion HB-103 at the bridge, selected via a 3-way switch and governed by a single volume and a push/pull tone control wired for coil-split. Black hardware throughout includes a Tune-O-Matic bridge and a string-through-body configuration. The instrument was strung with D'Addario strings and shipped with a custom-formed gig bag. The Carbon Black finish is a matte application.

Owners seeking setup assistance, replacement parts compatible with the Tune-O-Matic bridge or string-through-body tailpiece, or service on the Duncan Designed pickups and coil-split wiring should consult a qualified guitar technician or luthier experienced with set-neck instruments.

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.

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.
