SPIRA S-457 PTS 7-String Multiscale Electric Guitar, Blue Green Burst

The Spira S-457 is a high-end multiscale seven-string electric guitar designed for players who demand exceptional extended-range performance, bold visual appeal, and outstanding tonal definition. Tailored for modern guitarists tackling heavy rhythms, intricate solos, and low tunings, it offers a powerful balance of precision, clarity, and effortless playability.

Premium Tonewoods and Superior Build Quality

At its core, the S-457 pairs a roasted poplar body with an eye-catching spalted poplar top, delivering a lightweight, resonant feel with striking natural character. A Canadian roasted maple neck and matching roasted maple fretboard provide:

• Excellent tuning stability for extended-range and low-tuning setups

• Smooth, fast fretting ideal for technical playing

• Enhanced sustain, articulation, and tonal consistency

Finished in an elegant Blue Green Burst, the guitar’s figured top truly stands out both on stage and in the studio.

Multiscale Construction for Enhanced Performance

The S-457 features a multiscale (fanned-fret) design, optimising scale length for each string to improve tone and feel. Benefits include:

• Increased bass-side scale length for tight, focused low end

• Shorter treble-side scale for easier bends and expressive leads

• Even string tension across the fretboard

• Improved intonation and clarity, especially in lower tunings

This design ensures a natural playing feel while delivering superior tonal balance across all seven strings.
