Offering the playability of electric guitars and the sound of an acoustic guitar, the Ibanez ALT30FM is a modern take on the acoustic guitar.
Overview
Ibanez has historically offered acoustic instruments that electric guitarists would find inviting and easy to play. Altstar models are the perfect option for the aspiring electric player with a drive to explore the world of acoustic guitars. The Altstar series features a compact dreadnought body, 15.7" fingerboard radius, tighter string spacing and 25.5" scale neck, all designed to offer electric guitarists a seamless transition to acoustic playing.
The single-cut Altstar also features a neck joint at the 16th fret, rather than the 12th fret, affording unparalleled upper fret access. Whether you're just looking to delve into the world of acoustic guitars, or you are seeking a quieter practice option while maintaining an electric guitar feel, this is your axe!
- A Walnut fretboard features a well-balanced tonal character from low to high end.
- The Flamed Maple top creates an attractive visual profile and offers a bright and tight tone.
- Sapele back and sides offer a full-bodied and warm mid-range and a bright tone.
- The Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle pickup accurately translates that full sound to whatever amplification system you plug it into.
- The AEQ-2UT preamp features a convenient onboard tuner.
- The Walnut bridge transfers string vibration directly to the body, delivering a natural and warm tone.
- Advantage pins are easier to take out and easier to put in than standard pins. A special… read more bulb-shaped end makes the pin easy to grip and also prevents the pin from being pushed in too far. Best of all, with Advantage the pin and string stay put.

I have owned a lot of guitars in my day and this one is one of my favorites. The body is thin and comfortable and the neck feels a little bit bigger than your average electric. It is very easy to play on. The guitar came in perfect. No set up needed all though it needs new strings. No chips or defects on the body. The only thing I don't like is that it has a plastic nut and for the price range it should be better. All in all this is my favorite accoustic guitar hands down and I can't stop playing it. Sounds very bright and has some twang to it. The doomsday red is so awesome to look at. I highly recommend looking into these.
