This is an Ibanez 2356, a ‘Barney Kessel’ replica.

She is one of the best sounding guitars I currently own! She’s missing her scratch plate and she’s a little rough on the outside, but there’s plenty of life left in those frets and those Early Maxon pickups sound awesome. Rich, full sound, and a pleasure to play.
