Ibanez - ALT50FA-RDB Altstar Red Doom Burst High Gloss

The Ibanez ALT50FA-RDB electro-acoustic guitar is designed to be easy to pick up and play, while producing a balanced sound. Its slightly reduced dreadnought body offers a well-proportioned response, with present bass without drowning out the mids and highs.

The Comfort Grip maple neck has a profile that sits comfortably in the hand, making it easy to play even when switching between chords and single notes. This feeling of comfort is further enhanced by the neck joint at the 16th fret, which opens up access to the higher registers without discomfort.

The purpleheart fingerboard provides a clear attack and good note definition, making the guitar responsive to playing dynamics. The wide frets allow you to play fast phrases without catching, which also helps when playing folk or pop songs. The Flamed Maple Art Grain top rests on a basswood base, balancing roundness and clarity, while the sapele back and sides add warmth to the tone.

The under-saddle pickup faithfully captures the acoustic sound and, once plugged in, the Ibanez AEQ-2T preamp lets you adjust the bass and treble to quickly adapt to the playing context or sound system. The built-in tuner can even be operated without being plugged in, making it easy to tune on the go.

The purpleheart bridge transmits the vibrations from the strings to the body, helping the guitar to remain expressive, both in delicate picking and in sustained chords. The Ibanez Advantage pegs make it easy to install the strings and prevent them from slipping too far into their slots.
