The RS100 is a Roadster series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 1978. It was made in Japan by FujiGen.

The RS100 features a curly maple top on a double cutaway mahogany body with radiused edges bolted to a rock maple neck with a 21-fret maple fingerboard with black dot position markers. Components include a trio of Ibanez Super 6 single coil pickups mounted in pickup rings with the bridge pickup askew, an Accu-Cast fixed bridge, Sure Grip control knobs and VelveTune Mini II tuning machines. The output is mounted on the face of the guitar.

The Fire Red (FR) finish is sometimes presented with rosewood board and peraloids dots.

The RS300 is a similar model with an ash body and coil tapping functionality.

This RS100 was discontinued after 1980.
