Used / Mint-As-New condition
Spiro was designed with the 50’s Junior tones in mind. What we feel is missing in modern takes on this design is a lightweight Honduran Mahogany body – it’s just not available today as it was back then. We use Spanish Cedar as our body wood. Spanish Cedar is a relative of Honduran Mahogany and they share a similarity in character as tonewoods. It’s got the right weight and tone as was used in the ’50s.
Spiro has a bolt-on neck and wraparound bridge. These features give you more attack, punch and note separation which complements the Spanish Cedar body and P-90 combo.
