The transparent blue finish lets plenty of the flame show through, while the black pickguard, pickups and hardware give the whole thing a much more contemporary look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnderneath the flame maple top is a roasted poplar body, paired with a Canadian roasted maple neck and roasted maple fingerboard. The Modern D profile, 14” radius and 24 jumbo frets make this very much a modern player’s guitar — fast and comfortable, with plenty of room for bends, wider vibrato and more technical playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two Spira Villain humbuckers are custom-made ceramic pickups with a quoted 12k output, designed to deliver plenty of punch and definition when you start adding gain. They’re powerful without turning everything into mush, making the T-450 particularly well suited to rock and heavier styles while still retaining enough clarity for cleaner sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eControls are deliberately straightforward with a single volume, single tone and pickup selector, so there’s nothing unnecessary getting in the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fixed string-through hardtail bridge keeps things simple and stable, while the factory locking tuners, bone nut and double-action truss rod are exactly the sort of appointments you’d normally expect to see much further up the price ladder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Model: Spira Guitars T-450 TDB\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Finish: Gloss Trans Blue\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Body: Roasted Poplar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Top: Flamed Maple\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Neck: Canadian Roasted Maple\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Fingerboard: Roasted Maple\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Neck Profile: Modern D\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Fingerboard Radius: 14”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Scale Length: 25.5”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Frets: 24 Jumbo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Nut Width: 43mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Nut: Bone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Truss Rod: Double Action\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Pickups: 2 x Spira Villain Custom Humbuckers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Pickup Output: 12k\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Magnets: Ceramic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Controls: 1 Volume, 1 Tone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Bridge: Fixed String-Through Hardtail\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Machine Heads: Locking\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Hardware: Black\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Gloss Finish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quality of these continues to surprise us.
