Spira Guitars X-500 TBK E Roasted Maple Hardtail HH - Transparent Black

This is the kind of guitar that nods instead of winks—it means business from the moment you lay eyes on it. The Spira X-500 TBK E is built for players who demand tone with bite, design with depth, and execution with elegance. Its angular X-body, crafted from resonant mahogany with a roasted maple cap, delivers both tonal richness and sustain that refuses to quit. The sleek transparent black finish reveals the cap’s subtle grain, whispering refinement under stage lights while maintaining a commanding presence.

The roasted maple neck, carved into Spira’s Modern D profile, feels immediately familiar yet meticulously refined. Satin-smooth to the touch, it invites both rapid-fire riffs and precise articulation. The Ebony Tech fretboard, with its 14" radius and 24 jumbo frets, is the kind of canvas a skilled hand doesn’t just play—it paints on, with authority and flair.

Tone comes armed with dual Villain™ high-output humbuckers—ceramic magnets, high-output—designed to cut, punch, and hang in any mix. With fierce lows, articulate mids, and cut-through highs, they’re the kind of pickups that stay vocal even when the amp is cranked and the sound is dense. The controls are play-focused: one volume, one tone, and a three-way selector—nothing extra to distract, everything you need at your fingertips.

The hardware means business too. A hardtail bridge anchors each string with deep sustain, while locking tuners and a bone nut keep tuning locked in—even through aggressive bends or divebombs. A 25.5" scale length balances tension across the strings, making it feel taut and responsive, whether you're anchoring ferocious rhythms or carving soaring solos.

At Musicmaker, we worship instruments that fuse form and function—elegant, edgy, and engineered to perform. The X-500 TBK E embodies that ethos with every inch of its design and every note it sings.
