Key Features
Built for one purpose. To satisfy the serious shredders. Everything you need to engrave your presence on the heavy metal scene is in the Washburn Parallaxe V260. Incredible playability comes from the mahogany body, Ovangkol fretboard, and hard rock maple neck while your steamy sound is taken care of by the Duncan designed humbuckers with the option to coil-split, string-through design for added sustain and a Tune-o-Matic bridge. It's a no-nonsense axe that gets the job done.
It looks serious too. Because an alluring sound also needs style. A carbon black finish and flying V shape echo the creative flair of your tone, aesthetically releasing the soul of your music. And it's in the detail. The Parallaxe logo inlay on the 12th fret adds glimmer into your stage persona. After all, the best metal pieces know how to show off through both sonic power and tantalising performance. So, get on stage, play that first epic power chord, and let the Parallaxe V260 help you on your journey to shredding glory.

Metal 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 powerful. It adds sustain. It's insanely robust. That's why Washburn have crafted the Parallaxe V260 with a mahogany body. There's a certain richness in tone on an electric guitar that only mahogany can deliver, giving a distinct character to your music and providing your sound with an overall sense of maturity. And you can rest assured. Because mahogany can more than handle your aggression letting you parade around the stage with all the energy you can muster. It’s the perfect wood for a metal magician.
It's planned to perfection. You can tell that Washburn have really thought out every aspect of the Parallaxe V260's hardware. They've made sure you have what you need. Starting with the Tune-o-Matic fixed bridge that keeps your strings locked tightly in place meaning your intonation is maintained at every point along the scale. Every fret and every D'Addario string will give you pristine notes and chords that ring true. 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 skills and the Parallaxe V260's potential - the possibilities are endless.
