The ALT30FM is an Altstar series acoustic/electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 2021. It is produced in Indonesia.

The ALT30FM features a small dreadnought body shape with a Venetian cutaway. It has a flamed maple top with a tri-oval soundhole on sapele back and sides. The maple neck has a 22-fret walnut fingerboard with binding and special Altstar position markers. Components include a compensated plastic saddle in a walnut bridge with black Ibanez Advantage bridge pins, a plastic nut, and chrome Ibanez tuning machines.

The ALT30FM's electronics consist of an Ibanez undersaddle pickup connected to an Ibanez AEQ-2UT preamp with onboard tuner powered by two CR2032 coin batteries and feeding a ¼" stereo output jack.

For 2025 the fretboard and bridge were changed to rosewood and the preamp was changed to the Ibanez AEQ-2T.

The ALT30 is a similar model with a spruce top.
