Striking V-Series design
The Spira V-500 makes a powerful visual statement with its sharp V-Series body shape and transparent purple gloss finish. This aggressive design isn't just for looks—it provides excellent upper fret access and lightweight comfort for high-energy performances. On stage or in the studio, the V-500’s bold aesthetics set it apart from the crowd while giving you the edge in playability and presence. The contoured mahogany body adds balance and sustain, making it as functional as it is fierce.
Premium tonewood pairing
Crafted with a solid mahogany body and flamed maple top, the V-500 delivers a resonant, full-bodied tone with excellent sustain and clarity. Mahogany brings warmth and punch to the low end, while the flamed maple top tightens the highs and adds a touch of brightness for articulate lead work. This combination creates a wide tonal range that suits tight, detuned rhythms just as well as it does soaring solos. The premium gloss finish enhances the wood’s natural beauty and protects it for the long haul.
Fast, stable playability
With a satin-finished roasted maple neck and modern D profile, the V-500 is built for speed and comfort. The Ebony Tech fretboard provides a sleek surface for smooth transitions and rapid runs, while the 14" radius and 24 jumbo frets give you space and precision for technical phrasing. Roasting the maple not only improves the neck's stability and resistance to climate changes, but also adds a darker, more refined aesthetic. This neck is designed to keep up with the most demanding performances.
High-output pickups and reliable hardware
The Spira Villain humbuckers are custom-designed to deliver aggressive, high-output tone with clarity and punch. Their ceramic magnets and 12k output rating make them perfect for heavy distortion and fast articulation, ideal for metal, hard rock, and progressive styles. Paired with a fixed bridge and locking tuners, the V-500 maintains excellent tuning stability and sustain, even during intense bends and palm-muted chugs. It’s a no-nonsense setup made for serious tone and performance.
