Classic '80s metal style with modern edge
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.
Roasted woods for reliable performance
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.
High-output Villain humbuckers
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.
Stable hardware for consistent results
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.
