What sort of tonewoods are used in the bodies. How do they stack up against the strats of the periods.   b. grimes Posted on Sunday, December 02, 2001 - 7:34 am:    check out ibanezvintage.com for specs   JohnS Posted on Sunday, December 02, 2001 - 8:35 am:    B.: Check out the pictures of the SG Custom, model 2383 on this page: http://www.ibanezvintage.com/copies1.html Also check out these pages: http://www.break-even.org/ibzscans/1970/70-9.jpg http://www.break-even.org/ibzscans/1971/71-20.jpg http://www.break-even.org/ibzscans/1973EZ/73-2-6.jpg http://www.break-even.org/ibzscans/1974FB/74gitarrenall-4.jpg The '70 & '71 catalogs show the guitar in dark mahogany. (these appear to be the same photos????) The '73 catalog shows the 2383 in white and looks exactly like the one on ebay (sans the Ibanez logo on the headstock and Custom on the truss rod cover). A weirdness of the catalogs is seen on this page; the 2383 is described as a "built-in neck", not detachable...but that's NOT what the picture shows! Anyway, it looks like this guitar could be as early as '73. As to ebay seller's claim of being "all original", take a close look at the tuner on the low-e string. Still, it's a very nice specimen.
