The SA100 is a hollow body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 1977. It was made in Japan by FujiGen.

The SA100 features a full-sized, thinline, semi-hollow, double cutaway body design with an arched, laminated birch top with ƒ holes and ivory binding on birch sides and back with an internal anti-feedback center block mated to a set-in maple neck with a 22-fret ebonized rosewood fingerboard with ivory binding and pearloid dot position markers. Components include a pair of Ibanez Super 80 humbucking pickups with chrome covers and individual volume and tone controls, black plastic pickup rings, a Tune-o-matic style Gibraltar bridge, a custom trapeze tailpiece, a bone nut, a black pickguard, Sure Grip knobs, and Smooth Tuner II machine heads.

For 1978 the trapeze tailpiece was replaced with a Quik Change stop tailpiece mounted into the center block.

The SA400 is a related model with pearl block fretboard inlays, tortoise shell pickguard, gold hardware and a varitone control with stereo output. The 2629 and AS100 (1979–1982) are somewhat similar Artist series models with a stop tailpiece mounted into the center block and different headstock.

The SA100 was discontinued after 1979.
