Spira Guitars S-420 BK Roasted Maple HH - Black
Shape-Shifting Finish. Trem-Loaded Fury. Built to Shred.
The Spira S‑420 doesn’t whisper politely—it arrives fully armed with a locking trem, roasted tonewoods, and aggressive high-output humbuckers that demand to be heard. Whether you’re diving headfirst into modern metal, crafting cinematic leads, or simply want a guitar that turns heads before you’ve even hit a note, this is the machine that does it all—with style and firepower to match.
Let’s start with that roasted poplar body—resonant, lightweight, and shaped for comfort during long sessions or shows. It’s coated in a jaw-dropping Black gloss finish that shifts from purples to greens and deep metallic blues depending on the light. Trust us—this thing glows on stage.
The neck is a dream: a roasted Canadian maple satin-finished beast with a modern D profile that’s slim, fast, and endlessly playable. Paired with a slick Ebony Tech fretboard and jumbo frets, this setup is built for fluid runs, effortless bends, and ultra-clean fretwork. Whether you’re riffing or soloing, it’s all smooth sailing.
At the heart of it all is a pair of Spira Villain™ ceramic humbuckers—tight, powerful, and specifically voiced for high-gain clarity. They retain definition through dirt, deliver punchy cleans when you roll back the volume, and never feel flabby or scooped. It's modern tone, ready for anything.
And yes—this model features a locking tremolo system, complete with fine-tuners and rock-solid return-to-pitch reliability. So go ahead and dive-bomb, flutter, or pitch-slam with confidence. It’s all built to take the heat.
At Musicmaker, we’re genuinely excited by what Spira are doing here—a boutique-inspired build with pro specs, serious tone, and an aesthetic that goes far beyond the expected. The S‑420 isn’t just a guitar—it’s a full-spectrum statement.
