The AM100 is a hollow body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 1983. It was made in Japan by FujiGen as part of the Stagemaster series.

The AM100 features a compact, semi-hollow, double cutaway body design with an arched, laminated maple top with ƒ holes and ivory binding on maple back and sides with a maple center block mated to a set-in maple neck with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with ivory binding and pearloid dot position markers. Components include a pair of Ibanez Super 58 humbucking pickups mounted in ivory plastic pickup rings with chrome covers and individual volume and tone controls, a Tune-o-matic style Gibraltar II bridge with a Quik Change II tailpiece, a bone nut, Sure Grip II knobs, an ivory pickguard and Smooth Tuner tuning machines.

The AM50 is a similar model with no pickguard, black pickup rings and a sunburst finish. The AM205 is a related model with a mahogany burl body, an ebony fingerboard with split block inlays, a black pickguard and gold hardware.

The AM100 was discontinued after just one year in production.
