The Spira V-400 MBK is built for modern metal performance, and its foundation lies in a carefully selected roasted poplar body and satin-finished Canadian roasted maple neck. The roasting process enhances the strength and stability of the wood, making it more resilient to temperature and humidity changes—an essential feature for touring musicians and consistent performers. Beyond durability, the roasted treatment brings out a rich, resonant tonal quality, adding warmth and definition to the instrument’s natural sound. This makes the V-400 not just visually striking, but also a sonically refined platform for aggressive musical styles.
From the very first note, the Spira V-400 MBK feels like a high-speed machine. Its Ebony Tech fretboard offers a glassy, fast surface ideal for expressive leads and intricate fretwork. The 24 jumbo frets provide ample room for wide bends and precise vibrato, while the smooth fret edges enhance comfort during fast movement up and down the neck. The slim neck profile is designed for minimal resistance, giving you full control, perfect for when you're sweeping through arpeggios or laying down tight rhythm parts. Combined with the balanced body shape and ergonomic cutaways, the V-400 delivers a seamless playing experience from headstock to bridge.
Powering the V-400’s aggressive tone are Spira’s own Villain high-output humbuckers. These pickups are voiced specifically for metal, rock, and progressive styles—delivering crushing gain, tight low-end response, and searing mids that stay articulate no matter how much distortion you throw at them. The ceramic magnet design ensures punchy attack and high output, making them ideal for down-tuned riffing, lead clarity, and brutal chugs. From stage to studio, these pickups help your tone slice through the mix with authority and edge.
The Spira V-400 MBK doesn’t just look like a weapon—it’s built like one. A solid, string-through fixed bridge provides maximum sustain and resonance, while the locking tuners keep your tuning tight under aggressive performance pressure. The bone nut contributes to clean string definition and improved tonal transfer. Every hardware choice—from the matte black finish to the precision components—is made to support reliability and performance, ensuring the V-400 is ready to handle modern demands, both live and in the studio.
