Key Features
The Spira Guitars S-500 Headless GBR sits at the top of the six-string Spira lineup, built for players who want premium materials, modern performance, and a striking visual finish. Its mahogany body is topped with an eye-catching poplar burl veneer in a Green Burst gloss finish, giving it a bold, high-end look while delivering a warm, resonant tonal foundation. The combination of tonewoods provides strong low-end presence, balanced mids, and clear highs, making it suitable for everything from clean passages to high-gain playing with plenty of clarity and depth.
A Canadian roasted maple neck and matching roasted maple fretboard offer a smooth, stable playing platform, shaped to a Modern D profile for fast, comfortable movement. The 14 inch radius and 24 jumbo frets make technical playing, wide bends, and fast runs feel effortless across the entire neck. The headless design reduces weight and improves balance, while the fixed bridge system enhances sustain and tuning stability. Equipped with Spira’s Villain humbuckers, the S-500 delivers powerful, articulate tones that remain defined even under heavy gain, making it a versatile choice for demanding players.

The S-500 combines a mahogany body with a poplar burl top to create both a rich tonal character and a visually distinctive instrument. Mahogany provides warmth and depth, with a strong low end and smooth midrange that suits a wide range of styles. The poplar burl top adds a unique, figured appearance, enhanced by the Green Burst gloss finish that highlights the natural grain. This pairing gives you a guitar that looks high-end while delivering a full, balanced tone that works equally well for clean and driven sounds.
The headless construction improves the overall balance of the guitar by reducing weight at the headstock, resulting in a more centred and stable playing feel. This makes it more comfortable during longer sessions and helps reduce fatigue, whether you’re standing or seated. The compact design also makes it easier to transport, while still maintaining a full 25.5 inch scale length. It’s a modern approach that enhances usability without compromising tone or playability.
The Canadian roasted maple neck and fretboard provide a smooth, responsive playing surface designed for speed and precision. The Modern D profile keeps the feel slim and fast, while still offering enough support for comfortable playing. With a 14 inch radius and 24 jumbo frets, the S-500 allows for effortless bends, fast runs, and accurate fretting across the entire neck. The roasted construction also improves stability, helping the guitar maintain consistent performance in different environments.
Spira’s Villain humbuckers are built for high-output performance, featuring ceramic magnets and a 12k output for strong, focused tone. They deliver tight low end, punchy mids, and clear highs that stay articulate even under heavy distortion. This makes the S-500 well suited to modern rock and metal, while still offering enough clarity for cleaner styles. The simple volume and tone controls keep operation intuitive, giving you quick access to your core sound without unnecessary complexity.
