Continuing the fine Altstar tradition of offering acoustic instruments that any electric player would love, the open pore natural Altstar ALT20 from Ibanez is a versatile acoustic/electric hybrid guitar with a supremely comfortable maple neck sporting a Comfort Grip contour design that is incredibly easy to play. With a versatile sapele top, back, and sides, and a walnut bridge and fretboard, the ALT20 sounds wonderful, featuring a natural warm tone that is balanced enough to go from low to high with ease.

Like all Altstar guitars, the ALT20 sports a compact dreadnought body, a 15.7" fretboard radius, tighter-than-average string spacing, and a 25.5" scale neck, along with a single cutaway and a neck joint at the 16th fret, rather than the 12th for superior upper-fret access. The built-in AEQ-2UT and undersaddle pickup provide an ideal option for live performances, letting you plug into any sound system via the 1/4" output. Additionally, the preamp system comes with a convenient onboard tuner.

Ibanez has historically offered acoustic instruments that electric guitarists would find inviting and easy to play. Altstar models are the perfect option for the aspiring electric player with a drive to explore the world of acoustic guitars. Whether you're just looking to delve into the world of acoustic guitars or seeking a quieter practice option while maintaining an electric guitar feel, this is your axe.

The integrated preamp and undersaddle pickup ensure clean amplification of your acoustic guitar tone during performances. The preamp module features 2-band bass and treble adjustment for tone, as well as a volume knob for adjusting output gain. Plus, you get a handy tuner, so you never have to worry about forgetting your tuner at home again.

The Ibanez Advantage bridge pins are an advantage over old-fashioned pins. Advantage pins are easier to take out and easier to put in than standard pins.

A special bulb-shaped end makes the pin easy to grip and also prevents the pin from being pushed in too far. Best of all, with Advantage, the pin and string stays put.
