The TAM100 is an eight-string solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 2013. It is a signature model of guitarist Tosin Abasi of the American progressive metal band Animals as Leaders. It was made in Japan by FujiGen.

The TAM100 features a AAA quilted maple top on a basswood body bolted to a wenge and bubinga neck with a 24-fret wenge fingerboard with mother of pearl block position markers. Components include DiMarzio Ionizer 8 pickups with two humbuckers (which can be coil-split) flanking a single-coil, a fixed bridge with a locking nut and Gotoh tuning machines. It is based on the RG2228.

The TAM10 is a less expensive mass market version of this guitar.

The TAM100 was discontinued in 2017 when Abasi left Ibanez to start his own guitar brand.
