About this listing
** IBANEZ ALT30 DOM Dark Orange Metallic **Brand NEW (New Strings & Full Setup by our Guitar Tech)Original cardbox and accessories included.The Altstar series by Ibanez stands apart somewhat in the world of acoustic guitars. For decades, the brand has been known for its fast, comfortable electric instruments, but with the Altstar range it has achieved something quite original: creating an electro-acoustic guitar that retains the playing DNA of an electric. The result is an instrument with an immediately recognizable design, featuring a deep cutaway and, above all, a neck inspired by the brand’s electric guitars. This approach makes the transition to acoustic surprisingly natural for guitarists used to slim, fast necks.Its Dark Orange Metallic finish gives it a warm and bold visual presence, with coppery reflections that subtly catch the light. It has a strong character without ever appearing excessive, whether on stage or in the studio. Its relatively compact body ensures comfortable handling, while the carefully integrated cutaway makes access to higher frets easier — a real advantage compared to more traditional acoustics.But the true signature of this model lies in its neck. True to the Altstar philosophy, it is clearly designed for electric guitar players: slim profile, fast feel under the fingers, and great ease for bends, complex chords, and technical passages. This ergonomics truly transforms the playing experience. Where some acoustics can feel stiff or tiring over time, the ALT30 invites you to explore the entire neck with fluidity. You may even find yourself playing phrases you would normally reserve for an electric guitar.In terms of sound, the guitar offers a pleasant balance. The spruce top provides clarity and projection, while the sapele back and sides add a touch of warmth and some depth in the midrange. The result is a versatile tone that works well for both chord playing and light fingerstyle. It’s not an acoustic designed purely for raw power; instead, it emphasizes precision and definition, making it very enjoyable in modern, pop, folk, or amplified acoustic settings.The built-in electronics are also one of this model’s strong points. The piezo system combined with the Ibanez preamp with integrated tuner allows easy connection to an amp or PA system, delivering a clear signal that is immediately usable. For live performance, it’s very practical: just a few adjustments are enough to find a balanced sound without complicated settings.In the end, the Ibanez ALT30-DOM perfectly embodies the spirit of the Altstar series. It’s a guitar that doesn’t try to copy traditional acoustic standards, but instead offers a different, more modern experience that is especially accessible to electric guitarists. With its distinctive look, extremely comfortable neck, and reliable performance when plugged in, it proves to be an inspiring instrument, appealing both to stage musicians and to those who simply want an original and enjoyable acoustic guitar for everyday playing.Specifications: Altstar Series Electro-acoustic guitar, Dreadnought body Top: Spruce Back & sides: Sapele Finish: Gloss Neck: Maple Comfort Grip Fingerboard: Rosewood Number of frets: 22 Nut width: 43 mm Scale length: 648 mm / 25.5" Radius: 400 mm (15.7") Pickup: Ibanez undersaddle piezo Preamp: Ibanez AEQ-2T / AEQ-2UT with built-in tuner Tuners: Chrome die-cast (18:1 ratio)
