Ola Englund Signature Series

A review of the Ola Englund`s mighty signature PX-Solar series.

Ola Englund Signature Series

Eight metal beasts, four six-stringers, four seven-stringers, all equipped with brutal Setmour Duncan pickups, super fast necks and 24-fret fingerboards.

New Ola Englund signature series made by Washburn is coming up with eight models in it`s initial lineup. Positioned in the intermediate and upper intermediate classes, these eight metal monsters are ready and able to rip through the very fabric of time and space with their ubiquitous tone. Seymour Duncan supplies the fire power through some of the mightiest passive pickups ever produced, while Washburn and Ola himself sign the design and construction of the Solar series. There are four six-stringers and four seven stringers in the series roster and all of them are fit with hardtail bridges and 24-fret ebony fingerboards. All of the DLX models rock the amazing Ever Tune bridge, the one that is rumored to be the greatest invention since the electric guitar. Names of the models of the first lineup are: PX-Solar 160WHM, PX-Solar 16DLXC, PX-Solar 170C, PX-Solar 17DLXC, PX-Solar 6C, PX-Solar 6DLXC, PX-Solar 7C and PX-Solar 7DLXC.

Washburn Parallaxe PX-Solar 160WHM is a solid and double-cut guitar with an alder body and maple neck. It is the introductory model into the Ola Englund`s signature series and is fit with only the necessary things. Six-saddled hardtail bridge, Duncan Designed humbuckers, 24-fret ebony fingerboard and Grover tuners wrap up the list. For further insight, check out 160WHM detail page on chorder.com, or on Washburn Guitars official web page.

Washburn Parallaxe PX-Solar 16DLXC follows the cue and delivers a stealthy double-cut alder body and super  fast and slim maple neck. Instead of the classic hardtail bridge, this one is fit with the EverTune bridge and original Seymour Duncans in the front. 24-fret ebony fingerboard and Grover tuners are also included.

Washburn Parallaxe PX-Solar 170C is the seven-string sibling of the basic 160WHM model. These two feature almost the same specs lists. Solid and double-cut alder body of this model is paired with a lightning fast maple neck with 24-fret ebony fingerboard on it`s top. Duncan Designed pickups, regular hardtail bridge and Grover tuners wrap the specs. For further insight, check out 170C detail page on chorder.com, or on Washburn Guitars official web page.

Washburn Parallaxe PX-Solar 17DLXC is the second of four seven-stringers in the initial Solar series lineup and it rocks the standard alder/maple combo. Also, it comes with a pair of mighty Seymour Duncans (SH-7/TB-14-7) with the standard controls unit. 24-fret ebony fingerboard and Grover tuners are also included.

Washburn Parallaxe PX-Solar 6C opens up the upper and more prestigious half of the Solar series. With Solar 6C we step into the upper intermediate class. Solid and double-cut alder body, fast and sleek maple neck, Seymour Duncan electronics and Grover tuners are among the most important features of this stealthy six-stringer.

Washburn Parallaxe PX-Solar 6C

Washburn Parallaxe PX-Solar 6DLXC might look as the same guitar as the 6C, but there is one huge difference. 6DLXC comes with the revolutionary EverTune bridge, which guarantees the ultimate tuning stability and intonation. This is especially important for all the heavy hitters and players who bend strings a lot. Other than that, these two are identical.

Washburn Parallaxe PX-Solar 7C is made for all the metalheads out there who want a serious and down to business seven-stringer. No flashy graphics and shiny hardware, only performance and quality. Double-cut alder body, maple neck, passive Seymour Duncan pickups and 24-fret ebony fingerboard are on the major features list. For further insight, check out 7C detail page on chorder.com, or on Washburn Guitars official web page.

Washburn Parallaxe PX-Solar 7DLXC is the top model of the Solar series. It rocks the stealthy double-cut alder body and the super fast maple neck. Carbon Black with matte finish and black hardware is the only color option available. EverTune bridge, extended range Duncans, 24-fret ebony fingerboard and Grover tuners are the strongest points of this killer axe.
