It's Time to Unleash Mayhem
Lock your doors. Warm up your amp. Warn your neighbours. Because Spira Guitars has just stormed into Musicmaker Dublin with a fresh batch of 7-string beasts – and these things are absolute monsters.
Spira isn’t playing nice. They’re not here to be subtle. This is a brand that’s tearing up the internet with guitars built for modern metal carnage, progressive madness, and extended-range creativity that won’t leave your wallet weeping.
Born from the same crew behind JET Guitars, Spira takes that solid foundation and cranks the gain, tightens the specs, and adds serious attitude. Think razor-sharp playability, tonewood combinations designed for tone AND stage presence, and pickups that’ll melt your eyebrows off (in the best way possible).
Available in three glorious Satin finishes - at Musicmaker now
The Spira S-407 – Roasted Maple, 7 Strings, Pure Power
Now, let’s talk about the new king of the rack: the Spira S-407 Roasted Maple HH 7-String.
This isn’t a guitar for dabblers. This is the axe for down-tuned chug machines, ambient riff sculptors, and solo shamanic high-gain ritualists. Every inch of it screams “shred responsibly”.
Key Features Breakdown
- Body: Roasted Poplar – lightweight, resonant, and tougher than it looks.
- Neck: Canadian Roasted Maple – smooth, stable, and stupidly fast.
- Fretboard: Ebony Tech, 14” radius – think jet runway with frets.
- Frets: 24 Jumbo – for all the screaming bends and octave acrobatics.
- Pickups: Custom Spira Villain HH – ceramic-powered 12k output monsters with tight lows and surgical mids.
- Bridge: Fixed and rock solid – because you want to riff, not retune.
- Tuners: Locking – because stability is sexy.
- Controls: 1 Volume, 1 Tone – no fluff, just firepower.
- Scale Length: 25.5" – the Goldilocks zone for drop-A dominance.
- Finishes: Satin White, Satin Wine Red, Satin Black – like your favourite riffs: clean, rich, and brutal.
This thing demands to be plugged into a fuzzed-out stack and unleashed. The tone is tight, the mids growl, and the high notes slice through like a scalpel. Whether you're downtuning to B, drop A, or something even filthier, the S-407 holds the line without flinching.
Satin Red - the power of the blood moon for your riffs!
Style Meets Substance – Why It Feels So Damn Good
It’s one thing for a guitar to sound good. It’s another thing entirely for it to feel like an extension of your soul.
The S-407 is absurdly playable. That roasted maple neck? Smooth as polished obsidian. The satin finishes? Sleek, non-sticky, stage-light ready. And that weight balance? Forget shoulder fatigue – this thing practically asks to be played for hours.
Want to sweep arpeggios at light speed? Done. Chug low-end riffs until the venue’s walls rumble? Absolutely. Drift off into ambient soundscapes with long, reverb-drenched sustains? Go for it.
This is your next stage weapon, your writing partner, your low-end love affair.

Bonus Heat: Pre-Owned Ibanez RG7420EX 7-String
You want options? Let’s talk about the dark horse in the corner: the Pre-Owned Ibanez RG7420EX.
This one’s for the tone connoisseur who knows that old wood sings and a few miles on the clock just means it’s ready for the road. With Ibanez’s famous Wizard II-7 neck, you’re getting blazing speed and effortless transitions between rhythm and lead.
It’s got a trem system built for divebombs and warcries, a basswood body that’s naturally punchy, and Quantum pickups that bring a surprising amount of bite and nuance.
It’s a perfect backup for stage gigs, a second voice in the studio, or a main axe if you’re just starting your 7-string journey and want pro-tier feel without the new guitar tax.
Pre-loved but very much still ready to rock......

Frequently Asked Questions – Spira 7-Strings at Musicmaker
Q: Is the Spira S-407 a good choice for beginners?
A: 100%. While it’s built with modern metal and pro-level playability in mind, the S-407 is also very approachable for players new to 7-strings. The roasted maple neck is smooth and comfy, and the fixed bridge makes tuning stability a breeze.
Q: What tunings work best with the Spira S-407?
A: The 25.5" scale length is ideal for standard B tuning, drop A, and even drop G# with the right strings. The ceramic pickups handle low-end growl and clarity beautifully, even with aggressive detuning.
Q: Are the Spira pickups any good?
A: Oh yes. The Spira Villain HH pickups are ceramic-magnet monsters designed specifically for tight lows, chunky mids, and searing highs. Great for chugs, leads, and cleans that still cut through the mix.
Q: What’s the neck like on the Spira S-407?
A: It’s a Modern D-profile roasted maple neck – fast, stable, and super playable. The roasted treatment makes it more resistant to warping, and it feels amazing under the fingers. You’ll want to play it for hours.
Q: How does the S-407 compare to the Ibanez RG7420EX?
A: The Ibanez is a classic workhorse with a thinner neck profile and a trem system, while the Spira is a fresh, fixed-bridge metal machine. If you want divebombs and legacy vibes, go Ibanez. If you want tight rhythms, wild tones, and modern looks, Spira’s your beast.
Q: Is the Ibanez RG7420EX still reliable if it’s pre-owned?
A: Absolutely. We only sell pre-owned gear that’s been fully inspected and set up by our techs. The RG7420EX still rips hard — fast neck, solid trem, and killer tone. It’s seen some action, but it’s still ready to throw down.
Q: Can I try these guitars in-store?
A: You better believe it. Head down to Musicmaker Dublin, plug into one of our beastly amps, and hear the roar for yourself. Our crew is always happy to help dial in tones, explain the gear, and talk shop.
