The AR100 is an Artist series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 1989. It was made in South Korea by Peerless (Iida Gakki) and was the first Artist model produced outside of Japan.

The AR100 features an arched maple top with binding on a double-cutaway mahogany body mated to a set-in mahogany neck with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with binding and pearloid dot position markers. Components include a pair of Ibanez Vintage humbucking pickups with individual volume and tone controls, a Gibraltar II Tune-o-matic style fixed bridge, a Quik Change II tailpiece.

The AR200 is a similar model with a solid mahogany body, a three-piece neck with block fretboard inlays and gold hardware.

The AR100 was discontinued after 1992.
