Key Features
The Spira V-420 AW is a high-performance shred machine built on the aggressive V-400 platform and elevated to give you the best shredding experience. Featuring a roasted poplar body and a satin-finished Canadian roasted maple neck, it delivers the perfect balance of durability, tone, and playability. The Ebony Tech fretboard with 24 jumbo frets provides a fast, fluid surface for both technical leads and punishing rhythm work, while the high-gloss Antique White finish adds flair to match its firepower.
Equipped with Spira's Villain high-output humbuckers in an HH configuration, the V-420 AW delivers crushing tones that stay tight, articulate, and searingly aggressive under heavy distortion. A premium double-locking tremolo system ensures divebombs and squeals stay rock-solid in tune, complemented by precision tuners and high-grade hardware. Built for players who demand performance without compromise, the V-420 AW is made to dominate both stage and studio.

The Spira V-420 AW builds on the V-400’s formidable foundation with a roasted poplar body and a satin-finished Canadian roasted maple neck, engineered for high-performance metal playing. Roasting enhances the wood’s stability, making it resilient to temperature and humidity shifts—perfect for demanding stage conditions and life on the road. The process also unlocks deeper tonal richness, delivering warmth, definition, and clarity that complements the guitar’s aggressive character. Topped with a striking gloss Antique White finish, the V-420 is both visually commanding and tonally fierce.
Designed for speed and control, the Spira V-420 AW features an Ebony Tech fretboard with 24 jumbo frets, giving you ample room for expressive bends and smooth vibrato. Its ultra-slick surface and refined fret edges make it ideal for fast runs and tight rhythm work, while the slim neck profile keeps movement effortless. Whether you're sweeping arpeggios or diving into solos, the ergonomic body shape and deep cutaways ensure unrestricted access and a playing experience that feels second nature from the first note.
At the heart of the V-420 AW are Spira’s Villain high-output humbuckers, delivering massive tone tailored for metal, prog, and hard rock. These pickups provide tight lows, punchy mids, and crisp highs that remain articulate under heavy gain. Voiced with ceramic magnets for maximum attack and clarity, they thrive in drop tunings and excel at both rhythm chugs and soaring lead lines. Whether on stage or in the studio, they ensure your sound cuts through with authority and definition.
The V-420 AW replaces the V-400’s fixed bridge with a double-locking tremolo system, enabling wild divebombs and squeals without sacrificing tuning stability. Precision tuners and premium hardware round out the spec for total reliability under pressure. From its solid build to its high-gloss finish, every detail of the V-420 AW is crafted for serious performers who need flawless tone, fierce style, and bulletproof performance in one uncompromising package.
