Modern tonewood construction
The S-400 uses a roasted poplar body to deliver a balanced, resonant tone that handles high-gain styles with ease. Roasting the wood increases stability and reduces unwanted moisture, resulting in greater consistency and a tighter response across the entire frequency range. This controlled resonance helps riffs stay focused and ensures chords retain clarity even when layered with distortion. For left-handed players who need reliability and punch, the tonal foundation of the S-400 makes it well-suited for everything from progressive metal to modern rock.
Fast neck for technical play
The Canadian roasted maple neck offers strength and tuning stability while keeping the instrument lightweight and comfortable. Shaped with a Modern D profile, it gives enough substance for rhythm work yet feels quick enough for high-speed lead techniques. The Ebony Tech fretboard provides a smooth, durable playing surface, and the 24 jumbo frets open up the full two-octave range. This combination encourages advanced phrasing, complex bends, fast alternate picking, and expressive vibrato without resistance.
Villain humbuckers with power and precision
Spira’s Villain ceramic humbuckers are designed to deliver modern high-output performance without losing articulation. With a 12k winding, they deliver aggressive attack, tight lows, and a focused midrange ideal for maintaining clarity in dense mixes. They respond exceptionally well to both rhythm and lead work, offering enough dynamic sensitivity for clean passages while providing the punch needed for heavy distortion. Whether you’re recording or performing, the electronics ensure your tone cuts through confidently.
Hardware built for stability
The locking tuners keep the S-400 stable during bends, rapid picking, and dynamic stage performance, reducing the likelihood of tuning drift. The fixed bridge enhances sustain and maintains precise intonation, making it a dependable choice for players who value consistency. Black hardware complements the Satin Black finish for a cohesive modern aesthetic, while the overall build quality ensures the instrument stands up to regular gigging and demanding studio sessions. The S-400 is engineered to offer reliability, performance, and style in equal measure.
