Washburn built the PXM18EB as part of its Parallaxe series, positioning it as an extended-range electric guitar in a PXM double-cutaway format. The model was designed around an eight-string configuration with a 27-inch scale length, accommodating the additional low-end tension demands that come with extended-range playing.
The body was constructed from alder, paired with a five-ply maple and mahogany neck. The ebony fretboard carried 24 frets, small dot inlays, and a Parallaxe inlay at the 12th fret. The nut was graphite with a 43 mm width. Electronics consisted of EMG 808/808 humbuckers controlled by a single volume, single tone, and a three-way toggle selector. Hardware throughout was black chrome, including a fixed bridge and Grover Exclusive locking tuners with an 18:1 ratio. The guitar was finished in matte black. Washburn specified a D'Addario EXL 140-8 nickel wound eight-string set as the strung-from-factory string set.
Owners sourcing replacement parts — particularly strings, tuner buttons, or a compatible graphite nut — should verify dimensions against the 43 mm nut width and 27-inch scale before ordering. A qualified guitar technician can assist with setup and hardware sourcing for this extended-range platform.
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.
