While Rich Lasner was still with the Ibanez team in the '80s, he had the above Maxxas guitar as an Ibanez alternative. In retrospect, he was way ahead of his peers in believing the popular electric guitar design should offer a chambered body to vary the instrument's voicing (maybe this fix got him into the Vox team & those Virage models are definitely semi-solid guitars; obvious chambering without hidden intentions) . The Maxxas was lightweight due to this conception feature & from the looks of it, screamed stealth. From the commercial viewpoint, it made sense; the desire for a Maxxas won't exclude us from the rest of the Ibanez offerings because this guitar was in a league of its own, reaping benefits from the reputation of its designer. Wish this guitar was back because the chambered body philosophy hold its own, especially now.

Back in the 80's, its screams future!

now that the future is here, it's ironic this guitar didn't make it... :-P
If i'm the lucky few who owns this guitar, i'll say let it stay that way :)

At first I read that as, "Wish it was black" and wondered why you'd want a(nother?) black guitar.
