This is very similar to an off-white Gibson SG I purchased in 1980. This Ibanez is in great shape for a 45 year old guitar. Upgraded with new pickups, tuners, nut, bridge/tail and electronics.

Hi Robertl,
Wow – nice guitar! I love the Ibanez SG replica in off-white, especially if that color has become a bit ‘creamy’ over the years.
However, the guitar you’re showing is not an Ibanez model 2394. The 2394 is the ‘Maple’ version, instantly recognizable by the maple-blonde neck with black position markers.
I’m not sure which model your guitar is, but let’s take a close look.
She’s got the “Gibson-style Open Book” headstock, a stoptail (no bigsby-like tremolo) and block position markers.
That means she is…
1) a model “2354S /WH” (S for stoptail, WH for white) if she’s a bolt-on guitar,
2) a model “2654 WH” if she’s a set-neck guitar.
3) There’s a very slim chanche she might be a model “2441WH”. According to the catalogs, the 2441WH has the ‘Guild-style’ headstock with ‘Rabbit Head’ inlay. However… we’ve seen more Ibanez models that were displayed in catalogs only with ‘Guild-style’ headstocks, but we found a few examples of these models with ‘Open Book’ style headstocks, too.
The 2441 is a bolt-on guitar, very similar to the 2354S. You can recognize a 2441 by the connection between neck and body: the 2441 has a hooked heel; the 2354S doesn’t.
So… If you post a picture of the neck connection, we’ll know which guitar model she is.
Cheers
Leo
