The Ibanez Altstar ALT50FA is an acoustic-electric guitar designed with the soul of an electric instrument. Blending Ibanez’s legacy of sleek, high-performance electrics with classic acoustic elements, the Altstar delivers a uniquely modern playing experience. Its compact dreadnought body with a Florentine cutaway enhances comfort and playability, while a flamed maple Art Grain–capped basswood top paired with sapele back and sides provides a balanced, versatile tone suited to a wide range of styles. The maple neck, inspired by Ibanez RG guitars, features a Comfort Grip profile with rounded edges for fast, fluid movement across the purpleheart fingerboard. Whether played unplugged or amplified, onboard electronics ensure clear, natural tone every time you play.
