The Spira X-500 is built to stand out, with an aggressive body shape that screams performance and attitude. This isn’t just about looks—the X-500’s construction is rooted in premium materials that deliver tone as bold as its silhouette. A solid mahogany body provides rich, resonant lows and a warm midrange character, while the flamed maple top adds clarity and sparkle to the overall tone. This blend of woods offers a balanced tonal foundation that thrives with high-gain setups but still delivers articulate dynamics when cleaned up. With its high-gloss Transparent Black finish and blacked-out hardware, the X-500 looks as commanding as it sounds.
Speed and comfort are at the heart of the X-500’s neck design. A Canadian roasted maple neck not only adds structural stability and resilience to temperature changes but also enhances overall resonance and sustain. The Modern D shape fills the hand nicely without feeling bulky, giving you the control you need for precise playing. Its Ebony Tech fretboard offers a slick, smooth playing surface that’s built for speed, while the 14-inch radius and 24 jumbo frets make technical playing feel effortless. From fast alternate picking to expressive bends, the X-500’s neck is designed to keep pace with intense, modern styles.
At the core of the Spira X-500’s tone are its custom-made Villain humbuckers, built for high-output performance with tight articulation. With ceramic magnets and a 12k output, these pickups are voiced to cut through any mix while retaining clarity, even under extreme distortion. From palm-muted riffs to melodic lead work, every note rings out with punch and definition. The Villain pickups deliver a bold, saturated sound without sacrificing nuance, making them a great fit for metal, hard rock, or any genre where tone clarity and power matter most. No matter the context, your sound stays sharp and aggressive.
Designed for stability and ease of use, the X-500 features a fixed bridge and locking tuners that ensure your tuning stays dialled in throughout your set. This configuration provides excellent intonation and tuning reliability, giving you confidence during demanding performances or long recording sessions. The hardtail bridge also enhances sustain and resonance, offering a more direct feel and simple setup. With a streamlined control layout—just one volume and one tone knob—you get straightforward operation without unnecessary distractions. The X-500 is built to handle heavy use and still deliver consistent, pro-level results every time you plug in.
