Selling a very rare Ibanez Maxxas MX2 with backstop tremolo stabilizer, the guitar is in overall good conditions only some few signs due to time accentuated & pictured so all is visible in photos! The guitar has been played very little and has aged perfectly, If it weren't for those irrelevant marks it would be in mint condition!

If you're looking at this auction you probably know how rare these are. Here's your opportunity to own a rare and unique piece of Ibanez history. The price for her was the same as a Jem77 / jem777 in that years and everyone preferred to buy the famous jems that now they sells around 6-7-8 Grands. This is one of the reasons why I Believe this guitar is rarer than a Jem! Another is that it is said that only 300 of these were produced total. MAKE YOUR CHOICE.

The first production Maxxas guitars (MX-2) were released in 1987. The MX-2 was the only Maxxas model built with a streamlined solid basswood body, Ibanez Original Edge tremolo system, and Power Play System backstop. The MX-2s were also the very first Ibanez guitars to feature the now-standard All Access Neck Joint. Like all other Maxxas models, the MX-2 featured IBZ-USA humbuckers made by DiMarzio.

The MX-2 was available only in 1987. The MX-2 featured a solid basswood body instead of the renowned semi-hollow mahogany of the MX-3 because the CNC routers at Fuji Gen Guitar Factory could not handle the 3-D interior and exterior carving for the semi-hollow body.

MAXXAS - A Division of Ibanez. In the year 1986, a space-age guitar design emerged from the minds and hands of Rich Lasner and his Ibanez custom shop team Mace Bailey and Leon Reddell. It was a MAXXAS prototype that convinced Steve Vai to cooperate with Ibanez - the rest is history. Because of the out-of-the-ordinary design, Ibanez' mother company Hoshino was too afraid that a shape like this would hurt their main brand Ibanez, so they came up with the special name (and the special headstock, too).

The MX was the very first guitar from Ibanez to feature the All Access Neck Joint (AANJ) with four separate screws and no metal plate. This design was revolutionary and definitely ahead of its time, and it took quite a while until it was introduced on most of the other models, starting from the early 90s. With the MX's deep cutaways, the upper frets are very well reachable and it leads to believe that MAXXAS stands for "Maximum Access" but this is not the case, according to designer Rich Lasner. On MX2 and MX3, the neck is mounted to the body by two regular neck screws and two threaded screws reaching in threaded inserts. Thus, the actual neck heel reaches deep into the body, right under the pickup cavity. This concept was also used on the Vinnie More signature guitar, some Artfield models such as the AFD5 and some Saber models in the late 80s.

Please note: We will not accept returns or refunds so be sure when making your purchase. Thank you for your understanding.

Condition: A minor dent on the headstock and small marks on the paint as in photos. (I would like to point out that behind the neck it is just a small capillary on the paint, it is not the typical crack).
