Quite same reason why I played lot of time with four strings, and also reason was that I just love to play just differend riffs and not the solos. My music teacher always called me the "four string wannabe bassist". But Max was the idol almost 30 years ago, and his legacy is still with my playing, I am a riff based guitarist even I have six strings in my guitars nowdays.

Tbh this is actually routinely done, as is just taping off unused strings. I did it recently during recording some rhythm riffs because I wanted a cleaner take and didn't need the top two strings making noise. They arent used at all during those parts.

Now he uses 6-string guitar. Check last Go Ahead And Die and Cavalera shows(Morbid Devastation and Beneath Arise tours). So he really can play guitar(even play some small solo).

On my 6 string bass the top an bottom keep everything set so I can retune the mid 4. On 6 string guitar tunings it would take 15 minutes to reset a 6 string tuning to something else perfect. (if I could). So I just bought multiple guitars. So I have 6 string bass but mostly play the mid 4.

Max didn't need the high strings. Andreas played those very well. Interesting that the implication here is that pre-1998 Sepultura must not have had any rhythm riffs using the high strings since most Sep songs are going to have both guitars playing the same thing.

Wow this the first time I see him play the guitar. He can actually play. Usually he’s doing the Kip Winger/ Tom Araya single note open string.

If you're referring to the olden Sepultura days, the reason is actually because he had Andreas Kisser doing all the lead guitar shredding whilst he kept the rhythm locked down. He never does lead guitar stuff, rarely uses the G string too, Hungry is one song where he incorporates some lead licking but that's just harmonization with Andreas.
