The AT100CL is a re-creation of the first signature model Ibanez made for him, the AT100. The AT100 was sold in very limited numbers in 1999, but the AT100CL is a regular production model. The Ibanez RG body shape is used for the AT100CL but in terms of specifications it resembles a Fender Stratocaster with an alder body, 22-fret thicker maple neck and a classic synchronized tremolo (Wilkinson Gotoh VSVG bridge with only 4 screws mounted). The pickups are a DiMarzio full humbucker in the bridge position and two single coil sized humbuckers in mid and neck position.
