Description

Washburn built the PXL20B as part of the Parallaxe Series, positioning it as a single-cutaway electric guitar with a Les Paul-style layout. The model carried a mahogany body and mahogany neck, fitted with an ebony fretboard and graphite nut, sitting within a line that drew on classic electric guitar architecture while specifying more contemporary hardware choices.

The PXL20B was equipped with a Duncan SH2/SH4 humbucker pair routed through a three-way toggle selector. Each pickup received its own volume control alongside a shared tone control, with series/parallel push/pull switching on each volume pot — a wiring arrangement that gave the player four distinct coil configurations beyond the standard toggle positions. The 43 mm graphite nut fed into a 24.75" scale ebony fretboard carrying 22 frets with split pearl block inlays. Hardware throughout was finished in black, anchored by a Babicz Full Contact Bridge and strung with black locking Grover Exclusive 18:1 tuners. The guitar left the factory strung with D'Addario EXL120 light gauge strings and was finished in gloss black.

Owners sourcing replacement parts should note that the Babicz Full Contact Bridge and Grover Exclusive locking tuners are proprietary designs with specific mounting requirements; a qualified guitar technician can advise on compatible replacements and setup adjustments for this instrument.

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.
