Washburn PX-Solar 170 Deluxe Ola Englund Signature Electric Guitar, 7-String

The Washburn PX-Solar 170 Ola Englund Deluxe electric guitar is your long-awaited 7-string companion, roaring with forceful tone and awesome playability designed with the metal enthusiast in mind. This Deluxe edition of the PX-Solar 170 houses a Seymour Duncan TB14-7 at the bridge and a Seymour Duncan SH1-7 at the neck in an alder body -- a solid combination for some serious output. The maple neck is topped with a smooth and buttery ebony fingerboard with 24 frets of tight and comfortable action, with a sleek Ola Englund inlay at 12th fret.

Ola Englund's Approval

Swedish axeslinger and metal mastermind Ola Englund is proud to have his name associated with Washburn's PX-Solar series -- axes that deliver aggressive tone and stealthy looks. Every piece of this 7-string machine-of-tone is designed for lovers of metal. You'll love the PX Solar 170 Deluxe's sound, you'll adore its stark look, and you'll be unable to resist the addicting feel of its speedy maple neck. Fire this axe up and let the metal mayhem begin.

Solar Double-Cutaway Alder Body

It looks cool, and it plays like a dream! This PX-170's double-cutaway alder body features two long sharp horns that give your fingers plenty of room to reach those higher frets. An alder body will keep your sound well-balanced and won't weigh you down the way mahogany or denser cuts of ash tend to.

Maple Neck and Ebony Fingerboard

As a fretboard tonewood, maple brings in a nice snap to your playing with a slightly rounded push… read more on the higher frequencies -- a nice bonus to help cut through the mix when you're ready to make an aggressive metal scene on the stage. The ebony fingerboard on this neck spans 24 frets long, and with seven strings at your disposal, your fingers will have plenty of room for ripping out solos.

Seymour Duncan Humbuckers

At the PX-Solar 170 Deluxe's bridge you have a Seymour Duncan SH1-7, and at the neck is an SH1-7. Both of these baddies forge a metal-infused signal that'll fire out of your amplifier in a barrage of tonal mayhem. Play around with your pickup selector switch and tone control to see how much powerful sound this axe has to offer. These Duncan pups are what makes this Deluxe model so Deluxe!

EverTune Bridge and Buzz Feiten Tuning System

If you like to wail, you know that pushing your strings to the max can take a toll on your tuning. The all-mechanical EverTune bridge on your Washburn PX-Solar 170 Deluxe utilizes a spring system to maintain a constant tension on your strings, keeping the sustain going as well as the intonation consistent for extended sessions of nonstop rocking. What's more, the Buzz Feiten Tuning system is a compensated nut and saddle system that solves those small intonation issues that commonly occur when you use drop tunings.
