Introduction

NAMM 2016: Washburn has added seven new models to its metal-focussed Parallaxe guitar range, including the PX-SOLARV160, a new signature 'V' electric for Ola Englund.

We've previously praised the Parallaxe range for serving up a new option for the heavy-orientated player and in 2016 Washburn is adding a raft of new options, including three left-handed models - good news for sinister-minded metal fans.
