Up for sale is one of the most distinctive, iconic, and sought-after Japanese instruments from the 1970s "Lawsuit Era": a vintage Ibanez Custom Agent (Model 2405).


Combining Les Paul Custom-style body construction with high-end ornate appointments—including a Gibson F-5 mandolin-inspired scrolled headstock and detailed pearl body inlays—the Custom Agent stands out as a true collector's piece and a total head-turner on stage.
Key Specifications & Features:

  • Model: Ibanez 2405 Custom Agent
  • Era: Mid-1970s (Made in Japan / Fujigen)

  • Neck/Fingerboard: Bound fretboard with intricate pearl "banjo/mandolin" style inlays
  • Headstock: Scrolled mandolin-style headstock with ornate pearl urn inlay and script Ibanez logo

Condition:
Guitar appears to be all original

  • Cosmetics: Overall good/great vintage condition with typical playing wear expected for a ~50-year-old instrument. Shows light finish checking, minor surface scratches, and some natural patina/tarnishing on the gold hardware. There is some corrosion on the bridge pieces. This guitar likely sat in storage a long time based on condition.
  • Electronics: Fully functional. Pots, switches, and original Super 70 pickups function smoothly without crackle or signal loss.
  • Playability: Neck is straight, truss rod works, and frets show life left with low, comfortable action across the fretboard.

Shipping & Handling:

The guitar will be packed with extra care in its hardshell case, detuned to relieve neck pressure, and fully insured for shipping. International buyers please reach out prior to purchase for a direct shipping quote.
