Description

Washburn built the PXM20EFTBM as part of its Parallaxe Series, positioning it as a high-output, double-cutaway electric guitar with a PXM body shape. The model carried a Flame Trans Black finish with a matte surface and was supplied with a GB4 gig bag, sold separately.

The body was constructed from alder, paired with a maple neck and a 24-fret ebony fretboard. Inlays were small dots, with a dedicated Parallaxe inlay at the 12th fret. The nut was graphite at 43 mm width, and the scale ran 25.5 inches. Electronics were EMG 85 (neck) and EMG 81 (bridge) humbuckers, controlled by a 3-way toggle selector alongside one volume and one tone control — each fitted with a series/parallel push/pull function. Hardware throughout was black chrome, including a tune-o-matic bridge and Black Chrome Locking Grover Exclusive tuners at an 18:1 ratio. The guitar was strung from the factory with D'Addario EXL 120 light-gauge strings.

Owners sourcing replacement parts — including the tune-o-matic bridge saddles, Grover locking tuner components, EMG pickup mounting hardware, or a compatible graphite nut blank — should consult a qualified guitar technician to confirm correct fit for this specific configuration.

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.
