Key Features
The Spira Guitars S-400 Headless MGR is a modern performance instrument designed for players who want speed, balance, and precision in a compact format. It combines a sleek, contemporary look with a highly functional design built for demanding playing styles. The roasted poplar body delivers a balanced tonal response with tight lows and clear highs, while the lightweight construction and headless layout make it feel comfortable and controlled whether you’re practising, recording, writing riffs, or gigging.
A Canadian roasted maple neck with a matching roasted maple fingerboard offers a fast, smooth playing surface, shaped to a Modern D profile that suits technical playing. The 14 inch radius and 24 jumbo frets make fast runs, wide bends, and complex phrasing feel effortless across the entire neck. Loaded with Spira’s Villain humbuckers, the S-400 delivers powerful output with strong clarity, even at higher gain levels. Combined with a precision headless bridge system and simple control layout, it’s a guitar built for consistency, control, and modern performance.

The headless construction of the S-400 significantly reduces overall weight and shifts the balance of the instrument closer to the body, creating a more stable playing experience. This makes it particularly comfortable during long rehearsals or live sets, where traditional headstock designs can sometimes feel neck-heavy. The compact format also makes it easier to transport, while still offering a full-scale playing experience. It’s a practical design choice that directly improves comfort without compromising performance or tone.
The combination of a roasted poplar body and roasted maple neck and fingerboard helps improve both tonal consistency and structural stability. Roasting removes excess moisture from the wood, making it less prone to environmental changes and helping it maintain its shape over time. Tonally, this contributes to a more focused response with clear articulation and a slightly warmer overall character. The roasted maple fingerboard also provides a smooth, slick feel that supports fast, precise playing.
Spira’s Villain humbuckers are designed to deliver high-output performance without sacrificing definition. With ceramic magnets and a 12k output, they produce tight low end, punchy mids, and clear highs that remain articulate even under heavy distortion. This makes the S-400 well suited to modern rock and metal styles, where clarity is essential for complex riffs and layered tones. The straightforward volume and tone controls keep things simple, allowing you to shape your sound quickly and efficiently.
The dedicated headless bridge system is engineered for accuracy and reliability, featuring individual string saddles and brass contact points to enhance sustain and tuning stability. Each string can be adjusted independently, allowing for precise intonation and setup across the entire fretboard. This level of control is particularly valuable for players who demand consistency in both studio and live environments. Combined with the guitar’s stable construction, it ensures dependable performance every time you pick it up.
