A Modern Silhouette Born for the Stage
The Spira X-400 belongs to the line of contemporary "offset" guitars designed for performance. Its asymmetrical body maximizes access to the high frets and balance on the strap, while the torrefaction of the woods improves stability against climate variations. Within the Spira range, it positions itself as an effective and reliable stage weapon.
For Which Guitarist and Styles
Designed for ambitious musicians, from intermediate to advanced levels, the X-400 excels in metal, hard rock, progressive, and metalcore. Its precise response and fast playability also make it an excellent tool for fusion leads and modern rhythm playing in standard or slightly dropped tunings. Clean and crunch tones remain clear and dynamic.
Sound
The pair of Villain ceramic magnet humbuckers (12k output) delivers a tight spectrum, firm lows, punchy mids, and incisive highs, perfect for dense distortion while maintaining definition. The fixed bridge enhances sustain and attack precision, while the 24.75" / 629 mm scale length provides a smooth feel conducive to expressive bends and vibratos. The torrefied poplar offers lightness and responsiveness, the torrefied maple stiffens the neck for a sharp attack, and the Ebony Tech fingerboard promotes speed with clear note-to-note articulation.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To get the most out of the X-400, choose standard ball-end nickel electric strings in 10-46 (versatile) or 9-42 (fast set). A standard guitar strap will fit its classic strap buttons, ensuring secure support on stage.
