Rock is dynamic. It's more than just loud distortion and steamy riffs. Although it is that too. So, Washburn have equipped this model with Duncan designed pickups to give you the tonal versatility needed for your musical backlog. It's all in the two humbuckers. An HB101 at the neck is the ultimate all-rounder keeping your licks melodic and notes clear even at high gain, while the HB103 at the bridge was made for your high output, crunchy harmonics. And if that's still not dynamic enough for you. The push/pull function on the tone control lets you coil-split for a more searing single-coil character. Your thirst has been quenched.
It's planned to perfection. You can tell that Washburn have really thought out every aspect of the Parallaxe M160's hardware. They've made sure you have what you need. Starting with an adjustable hardtail bridge to give you a tight intonation over the entirety of your 25.5” scale. Every fret and every string will give you impeccable notes. And there are the tuners. Washburn have equipped this guitar with die-cast tuners, keeping your tuning simple and pristine. Why should you complicate an already great sound? Now it’s up to you to take this rock-solid tone and make it your own.
All of these features are great. But they need to be accessible. And they are. A lightweight basswood body takes care of your stamina so you can light up the stage all night without tiring, while the ovangkol fretboard gives your fingers comfort, speed, and accuracy in order to create magic. And it has the mother of all neck materials. Made from maple, its smooth surface reduces friction letting you play fast and confidently all the way up to the higher frets where the extended cutaway gives you unparalleled access. With your ambition and the Parallaxe M160's potential - the possibilities are endless.
