Description

Ibanez built the LGB30NT as part of its GB Signature Series, positioning it as a hollow body electric guitar within the Artstar-influenced upper tier of the signature line. The Natural finish variant carried the designation NT in its model number.

The instrument was constructed with a spruce top over flamed maple back and sides, paired with a three-piece Nyatoh and maple set-in neck. The bound ebony fretboard featured acrylic and abalone block inlays across 20 medium frets, with Artstar fret edge treatment applied to the ends. The bone nut measured 43mm in width. Scale length ran 628mm (24.7"), and fretboard radius was 305mm. Neck thickness measured 20mm at the first fret and 22mm at the ninth. The body width measured 15¾" with a maximum depth of 3⅝", and the neck length reached 19½". String spacing at the bridge was 10.5mm. Electronics consisted of two passive Alnico Super 58 humbuckers — one at the neck position, one at the bridge — feeding through gold hardware that also included the Gibraltar Artist bridge, LGB30 tailpiece, and bone nut. The guitar left the factory strung to standard tuning with a .011–.050 gauge set.

Owners sourcing replacement parts — including bridge saddles compatible with the Gibraltar Artist bridge, Super 58 pickup replacements, or a bone nut blank sized to the 43mm width — should consult a qualified luthier or guitar technician for fitting and setup guidance.

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.
