The 2387CT or 2387 Custom is a solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 1975. It was made in Japan by FujiGen. It was among the first models in what would come to be the Rocket Roll series. This model is also known as the Rocket Roll Sr.
The 2387CT features a vee-shaped body modeled on the Gibson Flying V. It has a solid ash (or Japanese sen) body mated to a set-in 3-ply maple neck with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with pearloid dot position markers. Components include a Tune-o-matic style fixed bridge, through-body string routing with a vee-shaped ornament, a pair of Ibanez Super 70 humbucking pickups with chrome covers mounted in black pickup rings, a black pickguard, top hat style knobs, and Smooth Tuner machine heads. The output jack is mounted on the side of the guitar.
This guitar is part of the legendary Korina Trio along with the 2459 "Korina Destroyer" and the 2469 "Futura" which were marketed as being made of "African Korina" although no such wood exists.[1]
The 2387 is a similar model with a mahogany body. The 2387B-CT is a similar four-string bass model.
This 2387CT was discontinued in 1977 when Ibanez stopped producing replica or copy guitars. The shape would reappear in mildly altered form as the Rocket Roll II for 1982.
