Description
The Ibanez Altstar ALT30FM is a value-packed acoustic-electric guitar that offers pro-grade tones and devilishly-good looks. With its slimmed-down body and easy-playing neck, this gorgeous instrument offers an incredible playing experience, whether you're playing intimate coffee shops or sold-out stadium shows. And thanks to its built-in tuner, advanced preamp, and powerful pickup system, the ALT30FM has ample volume for louder performance settings.
Crafted with a sapele body and a breathtaking flamed maple top, the ALT30FM has a rich, balanced tone with warm, punchy mids and articulate highs. Its Altstar body is more compact than a standard dreadnought, making it a comfortable choice for electric guitarists transitioning to acoustic. Additionally, its thinner design eliminates the muddy tone many larger-bodied acoustics produce, ensuring a clear and defined sound.
Aside from its stunning voice, one of the first things guitarists will notice when strumming the ALT30FM is how well it plays. Its Comfort Grip maple neck has a nice, neutral profile that feels great for a wide range of techniques, while its 20-fret walnut fingerboard and soft cutaway provide unrestricted access to the upper frets. Guitarists will also appreciate its chrome die-cast tuners that offer rock-solid tuning stability, even when performing blistering riffs all night long.
Equipped with an under-saddle pickup and an AEQ-2UT preamp system, the ALT30FM has an exceptional amplified tone. Just connect to an amp or PA system using the 1/4" output and sculpt your signal with the 2-band EQ, and you'll be amazed at how good this acoustic sounds. For tuning, don't worry about bringing a clip-on or pedal tuner to your next gig - just engage the onboard tuner, and you'll be able to make precise tuning adjustments on the fly.
Whether you're a beginner, an electric guitarist making the switch, or an experienced player seeking an affordable, reliable acoustic guitar, the Ibanez ALT30FM is a phenomenal instrument that offers unbeatable quality.
