Ibanez Destroyer Model: 2459 (mahogany)

1975 pre-serial number, mahogany Model 2459

The "Ibanez" inlay is larger on the mahogany Model 2459s than on the sen Model 2459s.

The tip of the headstock is much more pointy on the mahogany Model
2459s than on the sen Model 2459s. The "star tuners" used on the sen
Model 2459s can also be clearly seen on this mahogany Model 2459.

The neck heels on the mahogany Model 2459s are stepped as are the neck heels of the
earliest sen Model 2459s.
