Washburn Parallaxe PXM18EB
There’s no getting around it: eight-string guitars are big business, and Washburn is the latest company to get in on the act with the PXM18EB, part of the new shred-orientated Parallaxe series.
The Washburn guys were kind enough to hand-deliver a few Parallaxes to us, so we thought we’d share some shots of our unboxing, as well as some specs – enjoy!
For the full review of the Washburn Parallaxe PXM18EB and other guitars in the Parallaxe series, check out Total Guitar issue 246, on sale 2 September.
