Description

Washburn built the PXS10EC as part of its Parallaxe Series, positioning the model as a high-output, extended-range-friendly electric guitar within that line. The body carries a double-cutaway PXS shape and is constructed from alder, paired with a maple neck.

The ebony fretboard runs 24 frets across a 25.5-inch scale, with small dot inlays and a dedicated Parallaxe inlay at the 12th fret. The nut is graphite, cut to 43 mm width. Electronics consist of an EMG 85 in the neck position and an EMG 81 at the bridge, selectable via a 3-way toggle; each pickup is also independently accessible through a push/pull volume and tone control that switches between series and parallel modes. Hardware is finished in black chrome throughout, with a tune-o-matic bridge and black locking Grover Exclusive tuners at an 18:1 gear ratio. The guitar shipped in a matte Carbon Black finish with D'Addario EXL120 light-gauge strings installed.

Owners requiring setup work, fret maintenance, or assistance sourcing compatible components — including tune-o-matic saddles, EMG-compatible pots, or Grover-pattern locking tuners — should consult a qualified guitar technician familiar with fixed-bridge electrics.

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.
