Spira Guitars V400MSL Satin Silver

A Revisited V Shape for Performance: The DNA of the V-400

With the V-400, Spira takes a cult electric guitar shape and puts it at the service of a clearly "high performance" approach. Everything, from the satin finish to the neck ergonomics, is geared towards a direct, no-frills instrument designed to play fast, clean, and loud. In a range, this is typically the model chosen for its strong visual identity and immediate response under the fingers, with a personality tailored for energetic styles.

Who Is the Spira V-400 For? Precise Riffs to Cutting Solos

The Spira V-400 is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists looking for an efficient electric guitar for punchy rock, hard rock, and metal genres (from heavy to modern), where a sharp attack, tight palm-mutes, and good clarity in saturation are required. The 24 jumbo frets and long scale length (25.5" / 648 mm) promote a "tight" and precise feel, ideal for standard tunings as well as tighter, more articulated playing.

Its intentionally simple electronics (1 volume, 1 tone) suit those who want to keep it straightforward: dial in, plug in, play. It's also an excellent choice for recording when a stable and repeatable foundation is needed take after take, with reassuring tuning stability.

Sound: Tight Attack, Present Mids, and Saturation That Remains Clear

The combination of a roasted poplar body and a Canadian roasted maple neck delivers a quick and "dry" response, with an attack that starts fast and controlled lows. Roasting also contributes to a sense of stability and a more "mature" feel, very pleasant with the satin finish: the hand naturally glides, encouraging quick position shifts and back-and-forth phrasing.

The Ebony Tech fingerboard, combined with the 24 jumbo frets and 14" / 356 mm radius, enhances the "modern playing" aspect: easier bends, clean vibratos, and a precise feel when attacking hard. The bone nut helps with better open-string definition and a sharper attack, while the fixed bridge aids in maintaining stable intonation and solid sustain without the constraints of a tremolo system.

Regarding pickups, the HH configuration with Spira Villain pickups (12k output, ceramic magnets) is clearly "high output": lots of presence, harmonics that are easy to bring out, and natural compression that highlights solos. Under saturation, the V-400 aims for a dense sound that remains clear, particularly effective for cutting rhythms, powerful chords, and leads that need to stand out in a busy mix.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To get the most out of the V-400, you can pair it with a set of electric guitar strings suited for a 25.5" / 648 mm scale length, as well as a good quality strap to secure standing play, especially with a V shape often designed for the stage.
