A stunning slice of Japanese guitar history, the 1970's Ibanez 2355 is a faithful interpretation of the classic Gibson ES-175. Built during the famed "lawsuit era," this beautifully aged hollow-body showcases Ibanez's early commitment to quality and craftsmanship. The deep sunburst finish, twin humbuckers, and bound body ooze vintage charm and jazz heritage.
Tonally, it's warm, full and dynamic—perfect for jazz, blues and smooth rock tones. The laminated maple body keeps it light and resonant, while the slim-profile neck makes for an easy, expressive playing experience.
This one has held up well for a 50+ year-old instrument, with a few cosmetic marks and binding checks adding to its vintage patina. The frets have some wear, as shown in the images, but doesn't effect playability, the electronics are all working perfectly, and it plays beautifully. A rare and soulful guitar that bridges iconic design with Japanese precision.
