Description

Washburn built the PXM100C as part of the Parallaxe Series, positioning it as a double-cutaway, hardtail electric aimed at players who favoured an aggressive, high-output platform on a 25.5" scale. The PXM body shape sat within a line that drew on modern extended-range and metal-oriented design sensibilities, with the guitar finished in a matte Carbon Black.

The PXM100C was constructed with a basswood body and a maple neck, topped by a 24-fret ebony fretboard inlaid with small dots alongside Parallaxe branding. The 43 mm graphite nut feeds into black Grover Exclusive tuners rated at an 18:1 gear ratio. Two Duncan Designed humbuckers handle pickup duties, wired to a 3-way toggle selector alongside individual volume and tone controls — each with a push/pull switch enabling series/parallel coil switching per pickup. A 5-way blade selector is also specified in the source. All hardware was finished in black, and the guitar shipped strung with D'Addario EXL 120 light-gauge strings. A GB4 gig bag was sold separately.

Owners working on this instrument — whether for fret work, nut replacement, or hardware sourcing — should consult a qualified guitar technician, particularly when matching the graphite nut width of 43 mm or sourcing Grover-compatible tuner bushings for the existing headstock footprint.

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.
