The 2405 is an Artist series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 1974. It was made in Japan by FujiGen. It is also know as Custom Agent and was part of Ibanez's response to the Gibson "lawsuit".

The "2405" features an arched birch top on a single cutaway mahogany body mated to a set-in laminated birch neck with an ebonized rosewood fingerboard with banjo-style ornate inlays and 22 medium frets. It has a classic F5 mandolin scroll-style headstock, a black pickguard, and a faux Mother of pearl inlay behind the tailpiece. Components include a pair of Ibanez Super 70 humbucking pickups, Deluxe gold plated Smooth Tuner (sealed )machine heads, and gold hardware.

The Custom Agent 2405 was one of the top of the line guitars for the company. It was discontinued after 1977.
