Description

Washburn built the PXM20FRFBCBM as part of its Parallaxe Series, positioning it as a high-specification double-cutaway electric guitar aimed at players who required an extended-range tonal palette alongside aggressive hardware choices. The PXM designation indicated a body shape Washburn referred to as the PXM Double Cutaway.

The guitar was constructed with a mahogany body and a maple neck, topped with an ebony fretboard spanning 24 frets at a 25.5-inch scale. Inlays were small dots, with a Parallaxe-branded inlay at the 12th fret. The nut was a locking type measuring 43 mm in width. Electronics centred on a Duncan SH2/TB6 humbucker pairing in an H/H configuration, controlled by a single volume, single tone, and a 3-way toggle selector. Hardware throughout was finished in black chrome; tuning was handled by black chrome Grover Exclusive machines at an 18:1 ratio. The bridge was a Floyd Rose 1000 fitted with a 36 mm brass block and a spring silencer. The instrument left the factory strung with D'Addario EXL 120 light-gauge strings and was finished in Flame Black Cherry with a matte finish.

Owners requiring setup assistance — particularly around the Floyd Rose 1000 locking system, nut replacement, or sourcing a compatible 36 mm brass block — should consult a qualified guitar technician familiar with double-locking tremolo systems.

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.
