Blue & purple


New colour for the Ibanez Altstar - purple iris - while still maintaining the burst concept.


Otherwise, the other new finish is this metallic blue.

Despite being an Ibanez fan & the Altstar touting playability rivalling that of its electric solid body counterpart, I'm just not drawn to these models. Ibanez is making headway with the AW & AE models but these, in my opinion, could have at least a solid top to lure more acoustic purists into the camp. People are particular about tone when it comes to acoustics, a solid top is the least Ibanez can offer which won't add much to costs.
