MAXXAS - A Division of Ibanez (pics, infos, discussion)

[yingmin]

...few Ibanez models are more divisive. For some the design is too far out...

I find this statement to be so very, very sad.

I remember seeing them in the catalogs as a 15 year old kid and thinking they were bo-bo Ibanez guitars.

Never heard of that brand before, but that's a pretty sweet collection you've got there! I'd love to see one in a 7 or 8-string configuration, that'd be pretty awesome to see.

At one point in time, I had three MX2FBs and made a triple group shot.

^ That's hot...

I mean having one is cool, having twins must be incredible, but triplets...That's just debaucherous right there

 

[straymond]

that black prototype...

I... I just...





There's a rocket in my pocket.

Just sayin', our humble OP is selling a beautiful MX3MA on ebay.de. Unfortunately, I can't afford it ATM, but I hope it would stay in the ss.org family. Such a character:

Check the other MX's reflections on the upper horn

Yeah, I couldn't advertise it here, since I'm a newbie and don't have 100 posts and all - but it's true what you write. I currently have two MX3MAs and one is for sale.

I hope it would stay in the ss.org family.

That would be great!

there is quite some MAXXAS-vibe in the new EBMM Majesty

Holy cow, how did I miss this thread the first time around?! This is quite possibly the best thread I've seen on here. So much history, such an awesome collection. I have a whole new respect for Ibanez and that designer seeing how early a lot of concepts were developed. We tend to think of AANJ as coming much later, and a guitar with 29 frets is not something I would ever have expected in the 1980s.

This thread needs more "shovel" !!!

There were more than you'd think. Feast thine eyes upon the rare 1987-89 Washburn EC29:

The rare, beautiful 30-fret Ibanez AFD from 1988:

The even rarer, 36 fret Washburn EC36:

And the ultra-hyper-mega-rare Hamer Virtuoso:

EDIT: Didn't see the posts over here haha

Wow, NICE! Those are really starting to grow on me, and love those finishes especially the black hole one.

Maxxed out

 

[darren]

There are few guitar that i really lust after these days, but the Maxxas MX-3 and the Artfield AFD-45 are two of my "unicorn" guitars that have been a huge influence on my guitar designs, that i would love to have in my collection.

 

[tommychains]

Dam, been looking for one of these for close to 5 years. I'd give just about anything for one.

Completely unrelated, do you need a kidney?

 

[Necris]

Up until a moment ago I thought I would never actually get to see the "black hole" finish described in the catalogs. I like it just as much as I thought I would. Thanks for sharing.

 

[poopyalligator]

Words can't express my jealousy lol. I have wanted a maxxas guitar for forever. I can never find one in the condition I want, or people are just asking way too much for them.

 

[sell2792]

These are beautiful.
