Ray's 1967 Ibanez 996 MaxiTone: A Quad-Pickup Gem - Premier Guitar

premierguitar.com

The Ibanez Maxitone 1960's Semi-Hollow impresses with its striking emerald green finish and unique quad-pickup configuration, offering a nostalgic '60s sound. The guitar's playability is unexpectedly smooth for a vintage Japanese model, thanks to prior setup work. However, it does have a few quirks, such as scratchy switches and a problematic string angle over the bridge, which may require adjustments for optimal performance. The distinctive pickup arrangement allows for diverse tonal options, making it a visually and audibly intriguing piece for collectors and enthusiasts. Overall, its charm and sound may outweigh the need for minor tweaks.
