About this listing
** IBANEZ ALT30 NBM Night Blue Metallic **Demo Model like NEW (New Strings & Full Setup by our Guitar Tech)Original cardbox and accessories included.The Ibanez Altstar series is one of those slightly unconventional projects in the world of acoustic guitars. For decades, the brand has been known for its fast and comfortable electric instruments, but with the Altstar range it achieved something quite original: creating an electro-acoustic guitar that retains the playing DNA of an electric guitar.The result is an instrument with an immediately recognizable design, featuring a deep cutaway and, most importantly, a neck inspired by the brand’s electric guitars. This approach makes the transition to acoustic surprisingly natural for guitarists who are used to slim, fast necks.Its Night Blue Metallic finish gives it a strong visual identity, almost electric in spirit while remaining elegant. On stage or in the studio, it immediately catches the eye without becoming excessive. The relatively compact body is comfortable to hold, and the well-designed cutaway allows easy access to the higher frets—something that is not always easy on a traditional acoustic guitar.But the real signature of this model remains its neck. True to the Altstar philosophy, it is clearly designed for guitarists coming from electric guitars: a slim profile, fast feel under the fingers, and great ease for bends, complex chords, or technical passages. This ergonomics truly transforms the playing experience. Where some acoustic guitars 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.Sonically, the guitar offers a pleasant balance. The spruce top brings 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 sound that works well for both chord playing and light fingerstyle. It is not an acoustic designed purely for raw power; instead, it emphasizes precision and definition, making it particularly enjoyable in modern contexts such as pop, folk, or amplified acoustic performances.The built-in electronics are also one of this model’s strengths. The piezo pickup system, paired with the Ibanez preamp with integrated tuner, allows you to plug directly into an amplifier or PA with a clear signal that is immediately usable. For stage use, it is very practical: just a few adjustments are enough to find a balanced sound without complicated settings.In the end, the Ibanez ALT30-NBM perfectly embodies the spirit of the Altstar series. It is a guitar that does not try to replicate traditional acoustic standards, but rather 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—capable of appealing both to performing musicians and to players who simply want an original acoustic guitar that is enjoyable to play every day.Specifications: Altstar Series Electro-Acoustic Guitar – Dreadnought BodyTop: SpruceBack & Sides: SapeleFinish: GlossNeck: Maple Comfort GripFingerboard: RosewoodNumber of Frets: 22Nut Width: 43 mmScale Length: 648 mm / 25.5"Radius: 400 mm (15.7")Pickup: Ibanez undersaddle piezoPreamp: Ibanez AEQ-2T / AEQ-2UT with built-in tunerTuners: Chrome die-cast (18:1 ratio)
