A Dreadnought Playable for Hours

From its superb sapele body to its majestic maple neck, the Ibanez Altstar ALT30 acoustic-electric guitar hits it out of the park. Fingerpickers and strummers alike will find bright tonal character through the spruce top that resonates with big, rich tone throughout its sapele body. Forged in a dreadnought shape with a cutaway, the ALT30 provides massive volume for any unplugged situation. But if you find yourself needing more voice at a practice or performance, simply plug in and sample Ibanez’s AEQ2UT onboard electronics. What's more, chrome die-cast tuners and an onboard electronic tuner will keep you looking and sounding your best!

Easy-playing neck built for speed

Need an acoustic that you can blaze on? The Ibanez Altstar ALT30's satin-backed maple neck, with a walnut fingerboard and 15.7-inch radius, is built for speed. Plus, thanks to the iconic Ibanez angular headstock — an electric guitar institution for decades — the ALT30 makes a statement before you ever play a note.

Comfortably compact body

The ALT30's thinned-out dreadnought body is suited for hours of performance, onstage or around the house. The reduced body design is not only lighter and more comfortable, but it keeps boomy feedback at bay. The soft Florentine cutaway provides effortless access all the way up the neck as well. With its unique stage presence, guitarists agree that the Altstar ALT30 is a welcome radical departure from the traditional acoustic-electric
