2356 Cherry Sunburst (more images) Red copyright sprite

The 2356 is a hollow body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 1971. It was made in Japan. It's visually similar to Gibson's Barney Kessel model.

The 2356 features a double cutaway hollow body design with a mahogany arched top with ƒ holes and mahogany arched back in cherry sunburst finish mated to a set in maple neck with a 20-fret rosewood fingerboard with white binding, pearloid quadrilateral position markers with black side dots and an open book headstock. Components include a pair of maxon Super 60 pickup's with separated polepieces, individual volume and tone controls, a black pickguard, a rosewood bridge with a trapeze tailpiece with a wood piece, a bone nut and Ibanez gold plated machine heads.

Some models feature white blocks instead of pearloid quadrilateral figures as fingerboard inlays and they are missing the headstock inlay.

The 2356 was discontinued after 1972.
