The 2460 is a hollow body archtop style electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 1975. It was crafted in Japan. It's visually similar to Gibson's L-5CES model.

The 2460 features a full-hollow body design with arched laminated spruce top, ƒ holes and ivory multi-binding on curly maple back and sides with a single Venetian cutaway mated to a set-in hard laminated maple neck with 20-fret polished ebony fingerboard, pearl block position markers, and a black open-book headstock with a fancy inlay and the Ibanez logo. Components include a pair of floating Ibanez Super 70 humbucking pickups, a tortoise pickguard which supports the pickups and contains the controls, an ebony bridge, gold hardware and Smooth Tuner machine heads.

For 1976 the headstock was changed to a revised design.

The 2470 is a similar model with carved solid spruce top.

The 2460 was discontinued after 1977.
