Key Features
The Spira Guitars SR-400 MBK brings classic '80s metal attitude into a modern, performance-focused design. Finished in Satin Black, it pairs an aggressive body shape with a stripped-back control layout that’s all about high-gain simplicity. The roasted poplar body delivers a balanced tonal response with tight lows, punchy mids, and clear highs, making it ideal for heavier styles. Built to handle everything from tight rhythm work to cutting lead lines, it offers a direct, responsive feel that keeps your playing precise and controlled.
A Canadian roasted maple neck shaped to a Modern D profile provides a fast, comfortable grip, while the high-grade Ebony Tech fretboard adds a smooth, slick surface for fluid movement. With a 14 inch radius and 24 jumbo frets, it’s designed for effortless bends, fast runs, and accurate fretting across the entire neck. Equipped with Spira’s Villain humbuckers, the SR-400 delivers powerful output with clarity that holds up under high gain. A fixed bridge and solid hardware setup ensure tuning stability and consistent performance whether you’re on stage or in the studio.

The SR-400 captures the visual spirit of classic '80s metal guitars with its sharp, star-inspired body shape, while refining the design for modern players. It’s built to stand out on stage, offering a bold aesthetic that matches the energy of heavier genres. Beyond its looks, the shape also supports upper fret access, making it easier to play lead lines and solos higher up the neck. It’s a design that blends visual impact with practical performance benefits, giving you a guitar that feels as confident as it looks.
The combination of roasted poplar for the body and Canadian roasted maple for the neck enhances both tone and durability. Roasting helps reduce moisture content in the wood, improving stability and helping the guitar maintain consistent performance in different environments. Tonally, it produces a focused response with tight lows and clear mids, while the Ebony Tech fretboard adds a smooth playing surface and crisp attack. This setup makes the SR-400 well suited to demanding playing styles that rely on precision and consistency.
Spira’s Villain humbuckers are designed to deliver the power and clarity needed for modern rock and metal. With ceramic magnets and a 12k output, they produce strong low end, punchy mids, and sharp highs that cut through dense mixes. Even under heavy distortion, they retain articulation, ensuring chords and fast passages remain defined. This makes the SR-400 a versatile option within heavier styles, capable of handling both rhythm and lead roles with ease and consistency.
The SR-400 is built with a focus on reliability, using a fixed bridge to provide solid tuning stability and improved sustain. This setup is ideal for players who want a dependable instrument that stays in tune during aggressive playing. The black hardware complements the overall aesthetic while maintaining a clean, modern look. Combined with a simple volume and tone control layout, it keeps operation straightforward and efficient, allowing you to focus entirely on your playing without unnecessary distractions.
