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.
