Description

Washburn built the PXM27EC as part of its Parallaxe Series, positioning it as a 7-string, double-cutaway electric guitar in a Strat-style format aimed at extended-range players seeking a modern, high-output platform.

The body is alder, paired with a 5-ply maple and mahogany neck. The ebony fretboard runs 24 frets at a 25.5" scale, with small dot inlays and a Parallaxe inlay at the 12th fret. The nut is graphite at 43 mm width. Electronics are a pair of EMG 707 humbuckers controlled by a 1 volume / 1 tone arrangement with a 5-way blade superswitch and a 3-way toggle selector. Hardware throughout is black chrome, including a tune-o-matic bridge and Grover Exclusive 18:1 tuners. The guitar shipped in a matte Carbon Black finish with D'Addario EXL 120 light gauge strings installed. The GB4 gig bag was sold separately.

Owners sourcing replacement parts — including EMG 707-compatible rings and covers, tune-o-matic saddles or posts, and Grover Exclusive 18:1 tuner buttons — should consult a qualified guitar technician to confirm fit against the actual hardware on their specific instrument.

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.

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.
