Washburn Parallaxe PXL10FTBM
Designed with rock and metal in mind, Parallaxe is Washburn's premier heavy range, and it's set to get bigger with the addition of three new models: the PXL10FTBM, PXS100B and PSX100B.
First off, the PXL10FTBM offers a mahogany body and neck with 24.75”-scale ebony fingerboard, Buzz Feiten Tuning System and full access to upper frets – it's also packing Seymour Duncan Jazz and JB humbuckers with series/parallel switching, Grover 18:1 locking tuners and a tune-o-matic bridge.
Washburn Parallaxe PXL100B
Next up is the more affordable PXL100B, which offers a basswood body and mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard, Buzz Feiten Tuning System and full-access neck.
It's also packing Duncan Designed HB101 and HB103 humbuckers, as well as Grover 18:1 tuners and a tune-o-matic bridge.
Washburn Parallaxe PXS100B
Finally, the PXS100B adopts the more traditional double-cut shred outline, packing a basswood body with maple neck, Buzz Feiten Tuning System and 25.5” rosewood fingerboard, as well as Stephen's Extended Cutaway for ultimate upper-fret access.
Duncan Designed HB101 and HB103 humbuckers also fill the pickup cavities here, while Grover 18:1 tuners and a fixed hardtail bridge round off the spec.
The PXL10FTBM and PXL100B are available from early 2016 for £729 and £569 respectively, while the PXS100B is available in November for £489. Head over to Washburn and Sound Technology for more.
