The AW100CE is an Artwood series acoustic-electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in late-2015. It was made in China and sold exclusively in China.

The AW100CE features a dreadnought body shape with a laminated cedar top on sapele back and sides with a high gloss finish. The soundhole is round with a simple black and white acrylic rosette and a black pickguard. It has a mahogany neck with a 20-fret laurel fingerboard with binding and small white dot position markers. Components include a compensated bone saddle in a laurel bridge with black Ibanez Advantage bridge pins, a bone nut, and chrome tuning machines.

Electronics consist of a Fishman Sonicore undersaddle pickup, a Fishman Presys preamp with onboard tuner and a ¼" endpin output jack.

The AW100 is an acoustic version without the cutaway body. The AW100Z is a related model with a dual pickup system and no cutaway.

The AW100CE was discontinued in 2018.
