The MC100 is a Musician series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 1978. It was made in Japan by FujiGen with production beginning in late 1977.
The MC100 is the only Musician guitar model with a bolt-on neck; the other models in the series all have neck through body construction. It has a body consisting of an ash core sandwiched between two layers of mahogany bolted to a 3-piece rock maple neck with a 24-fret ebonized rosewood fingerboard with pearloid dot position markers. Components include a pair of Ibanez Super 77 humbucking pickups mounted in integrated plastic covers with individual volume and tone controls, a Tune-o-matic style Gibraltar bridge with a Gibraltar tailpiece w/ scalloped "cloud" ornament, a bone and brass nut, rubberized Sure Grip control knobs, a ¼" output mounted in the guitar top and Velve-Tune II machine heads.
In mid 1978 the body shape was modified slightly with smaller horns and a symmetric waist and lower bout.
The MC200 is a related model with a through neck, bridge sustain block and different pickups.
