An electric-friendly acoustic-electric that feels fast, comfortable, and inspiring
The Ibanez ALT50FATVT Altstar Acoustic-Electric Guitar is made for players who love the idea of acoustic tone, but want a neck feel and playing comfort that leans closer to an electric. With a compact Altstar body, a slick Comfort Grip neck profile, and large frets, this guitar invites smoother chord changes, easier lead lines, and longer practice sessions without fighting a bulky acoustic. Finished in Transparent Violet Sunburst High Gloss, it looks as modern as it plays.
Why players pick the Altstar
- Altstar body comfort: A compact dreadnought-style feel that stays comfortable whether you are seated, standing, or moving on stage.
- Flamed Maple Art Grain (basswood) top: A lively, responsive top with eye-catching figured looks for standout stage presence.
- Sapele back and sides: Warm midrange and balanced projection that supports vocals and sits nicely in a band mix.
- Comfort Grip maple neck: Designed for smooth playability so electric players feel at home immediately.
- Purpleheart fingerboard and bridge: Snappy attack and a smooth feel that helps notes speak clearly.
- Ibanez undersaddle pickup + AEQ-2T preamp with tuner: Plug in with confidence, shape your tone with bass/treble/volume, and tune up fast (even when unplugged).
