Ibanez 2386 Single Cutaway Custom 1976 Set neck

This guitar is exceptional in several ways. On the one hand, it is one of the few Ibanez Les Paul copies with a set neck, on the other hand, it was only made for one year and is hard to find. It only came across my hands once and it was the lucky opportunity to be able to buy it. It also offers something remarkable in terms of sound.

Ibanez brought this guitar onto the market in 1976/77 with the model name  2386 . No other guitar from this company has come closer to the original. Its (pancake) body consists of several pieces mahogany with a curly carved maple top. It is really solidly built, there is no gap between the top and the body.
The set neck is made of three-piece maple with an ebonized rosewood fingerboard.
It has all the features of a Les Paul Custom such as bindings on the top of the body as well as on the neck and headstock. The fingerboard is equipped with block inlays.

The hardware is original, the bridge and tailpiece and the tuners are original to. The original Super 70 humbuckers , and the guitar has not been structurally touched and all parts are original. 

The neck profile has a fairly C shape. The frets are original and show much signs of use. The playability is very comfortable and the setup is perfect.

When it comes to sound, the sun rises here, it has an incredibly fast and clean response. Chords always sound clear and defined with a touch of twang. The neck pickup in particular delivers a tone with a depth and clarity that is impressive. This guitar has sustain to a degree that is hard to believe. The Super 70 seem to fit perfectly here.On some spots in the back age and head stock top missing lacquer ( SEE PICTURES ). Original hard case kneed to be re glued bud other wise in good shape for 50 Year old case.
