Components include a pair of Hi-power humbucker pickup's in the neck and bridge positions, a heavy constructed fixed bridge with a tailpiece, a white pickguard with a black tug bar, a plastic nut and chrome plated individual tuning machines.

According to the catalogs, the official production of the model 2389B began in 1972, disappearing for years and then reappearing in 1976 with new finishes.

The 2388B is a similar model with mahogany body and Bolt-on neck.
