Continuing the fine Altstar tradition of offering acoustic instruments that any electric player would love, the Black Metallic Altstar ALT30 from Ibanez is a versatile acoustic/electric hybrid guitar with a supremely comfortable maple neck sporting a Comfort Grip contour design that is incredibly easy to play. With a beautiful spruce top, sapele back and sides, and a walnut bridge and fretboard, the ALT30 sounds wonderful, featuring a natural warm tone that is balanced enough to go from low to high with ease.
Like all Altstar guitars, the ALT30 sports a compact dreadnought body, a 15.7" fretboard radius, tighter-than-average string spacing, and a 25.5" scale neck, along with a single cutaway and a neck joint at the 16th fret, rather than the 12th for superior upper-fret access. The built-in AEQ-2UT and undersaddle pickup provide an ideal option for live performances, letting you plug into any sound system via the 1/4" output. Additionally, the preamp system comes with a convenient onboard tuner.
A special 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 stays put.
