Ibanez ALT50FA TVT Altstar Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar w/ Pickup Transparent Violet Sunburst High Gloss

Electric Guitar Familiarity In A Compact Acoustic Body

The Ibanez ALT50FA is purpose-built for electric guitar players who want an acoustic instrument that feels immediately comfortable in the hands. The compact Altstar dreadnought body reduces overall size and depth, making the guitar easy to manage while still providing enough air movement for clear, usable acoustic projection. A flamed maple art grain top over basswood delivers a focused, controlled response that keeps individual notes defined and avoids excessive low-end bloom.

Sapele back and sides add warmth and midrange fullness, helping chords sound balanced without overpowering the top end. The Comfort Grip maple neck uses a 25.5 inch scale length, tighter string spacing, and a flatter fingerboard radius that closely mirrors electric guitar geometry. A 16th-fret neck joint and single cutaway improve upper-fret access, while large frets support smooth bends and fast phrasing. For amplified use, the undersaddle pickup feeds the AEQ-2T preamp, providing practical bass and treble control alongside an onboard tuner for quick adjustments.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the ALT50FA is a great fit for electric players moving into acoustic playing, offering familiar feel, controlled tone, and straightforward electronics in a compact, easy-to-handle design.
