The MC300L is a left-handed Musician series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 1980. It was made in Japan by FujiGen.

Like most Musician models, the MC300L features neck through body construction. It has body wings made up of an ash core sandwiched between two layers of mahogany on a five-piece maple and walnut neck with a 24-fret ebonized rosewood fingerboard with abalone dot position markers. Components include a pair of Ibanez Super 88 humbucking pickups mounted in integrated plastic covers with individual volume controls and Tri-sound switches for each pickup, a 6-position rotary varitone control, a Tune-o-matic style Gibraltar bridge mounted to a sustain block embedded in the neck, a Gibraltar tailpiece w/ scalloped "cloud" ornament, a bone and brass nut, rubberized Sure Grip control knobs, a ¼" output mounted on the side and Velve-Tune II machine heads.

The MC300 is a right-handed version.

The MC300L was discontinued in 1981 and replaced by the similar MC350L.
