The 2341 is an Les Paul style solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 1974. It was also known as the 59er Custom or the Black Beauty. It was made in Japan by FujiGen.

The 2340 is visually similar to Gibson's Les Paul "Black Beauty" model. The 2341 features a mahogany body with a single cutaway and an arched maple top bolted to a mahogany neck with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl block position markers and a matching headstock. Components consist of a trio of Super 70 humbucking pickups, a Tune-O-Matic bridge with a stop tailpiece, a black pickguard, and gold hardware.

The 2341 was discontinued after 1977.
