Ibanez built the ALT30TCB as part of the Altstar series, an acoustic-electric line positioned around an Altstar body format and fitted with onboard electronics as standard. The Transparent Charcoal Burst finish distinguished this variant within the series.
The body pairs a spruce top with sapele back and sides. The maple neck — also following the Altstar profile — carries a walnut fretboard with Altstar specially designed inlays over 22 frets, with a 648 mm scale length and a 400 mm radius. The nut measures 43 mm wide, neck thickness runs 20 mm at the first fret and 21 mm at the seventh, and string spacing at the bridge is 10.5 mm. The walnut bridge is fitted with plastic nut and saddle, and Ibanez Advantage bridge pins. Chrome die-cast tuners handle tuning duties. Electronics consist of an Ibanez undersaddle pickup routed through an Ibanez AEQ2UT preamp with an onboard tuner, outputting via a standard 1/4" jack. The guitar left the factory strung with Ibanez IACS61C strings gauged .010/.014/.023/.030/.039/.047 in standard E-to-E tuning.
Owners sourcing replacement parts — saddle, nut, bridge pins, or tuner hardware — should bring precise measurements from the instrument itself and consult a qualified guitar technician or luthier to confirm compatibility before fitting any components.
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
