The MC400 is a Musician series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 1978. It was made in Japan by FujiGen.

Like most Musician models, the MC400 features neck through body construction. It has body wings made up of a mahogany core sandwiched between two layers of ash on a seven-piece rock maple and black walnut neck with an oversized headstock to enhance sustain and a 24-fret ebony fingerboard with abalone dot position markers. Components include a pair of Ibanez Super 88 humbucking pickups mounted in integrated plastic covers, a Tune-o-matic style Gibraltar bridge mounted in a sustain block recessed into the neck, a Gibraltar slotted tailpiece with scalloped "cloud" ornament, a bone and brass nut, rubberized Sure Grip control knobs and VelveTune machine heads.

The MC400 has active electronics consisting of a master volume control, a 3-way pickup selector mounted on the upper horn, a preamp gain (boost/ cut) control, a 3-band EQ (bass, mid and treble), a pair of Tri-sound switches to allow each pickup to be coil split or reverse phase, and an EQ on/off toggle. Ibanez refers to this configuration as the EQ Tone System.

Several changes were made to the MC400 over the years. In mid 1978 the body shape was modified slightly with smaller horns and a symmetric waist and lower bout. Around August of 1979 a master tone control was added along with an LED indicator for the EQ Tone System, and the battery was moved from the control cavity to a separate battery box. In mid-1980 a heelless neck joint was introduced.

Production figures for the MC400 are not known, but the Black and Antique Violin finishes are quite rare. The MC300 is a related model with a 5-piece neck and without the active electronics.

The MC500 is a similar model with maple core body wings and carved top.

The MC400 was discontinued after 1980.
