The Ibanez ALT50FA acoustic-electric guitar is built by Ibanez specifically for electric guitar players who want an acoustic-electric guitar that feels familiar in the hands. This Ibanez acoustic-electric guitar uses a compact mini dreadnought body with a 25.5" scale length, a 15.75" fretboard radius and tighter string spacing to mirror the feel of an electric guitar. A flamed maple art grain top paired with sapele back and sides delivers a balanced acoustic response with warm mids and bright highs, while onboard electronics make it easy to plug in for practice or performance. Designed as a natural extension of an electric guitar setup, the Ibanez ALT50FA electric-acoustic guitar works equally well for quiet practice, songwriting and amplified playing.

A Compact Acoustic-Electric Guitar Built for Electric Players

The mini dreadnought body of this Ibanez acoustic-electric guitar is sized for comfort and control, especially for players coming from an electric guitar background. The neck joins the body at the 16th fret instead of the traditional 12th, offering better upper-fret access for solos and melodic lines. Combined with the familiar 25.5" scale length, the ALT50FA maintains a playing feel that translates easily from electric guitar to acoustic-electric use.

Flamed Maple Art Grain Top With Sapele Back and Sides

The flamed maple art grain top gives the Ibanez ALT50FA acoustic-electric guitar its distinctive look while contributing clarity and definition to the sound. Sapele back and sides add warmth and a full-bodied midrange, creating a balanced tonal profile suited for strumming, fingerstyle, and light percussive playing. This tonewood combination helps the guitar project clearly without feeling overpowering.

Ibanez Electronics for Natural Amplified Sound

This Ibanez acoustic-electric guitar is equipped with an Ibanez undersaddle pickup and AEQ-2T preamp, allowing the natural acoustic tone to translate accurately when amplified. The preamp includes bass and treble controls for simple tone shaping, along with an onboard tuner that can be used without plugging the guitar in. This setup makes the ALT50FA a practical electric-acoustic guitar for rehearsals, live performance, and home practice.

Comfort Grip Neck and Durable Playing Surface

The Comfort Grip maple neck is shaped for smooth playability, helping electric guitar players feel at home immediately. A purpleheart fretboard provides a stable, responsive surface with a focused tonal character, while 22 frets and a 1.7" nut width maintain familiar spacing and reach. The purpleheart bridge supports efficient string vibration transfer, contributing to the guitar’s clear and balanced sound.
