Design and Inspiration
The A-Type draws its aesthetic inspiration from the classic lines of vintage cars, hot rods, and surfboard design, reflecting Powers' upbringing in the vibrant cultural environment of San Diego's North County. This guitar showcases an asymmetrical shape that maintains visual balance, ensuring it looks stunning from every angle. The fully enclosed, slim hollowbody design is not just a visual treat but also a feat of engineering aimed at maximising resonance and minimising feedback.
Playability and Comfort
A key feature of the A-Type is its impeccable feel. Designed to be lightweight and perfectly balanced, the guitar is easy to handle whether you're sitting or standing. The hollow body allows for a comfortable grip, while the contoured armrest and radiused body edges enhance playing comfort. The neck, described as a "just right" blend of not too big and not too slim, flows smoothly into a unique fretboard geometry. The split radius fretboard, asymmetrical from the bass side to the treble side, allows for maximum playability and effortless, choke-free string bending.
Unmatched Sound Quality
The Powers Electric A-Type is equipped with FF42 pickups, known for their warm, rich tones. These full Faraday pickups, crafted with 42-gauge wire, are designed to allow the strings to vibrate naturally, producing a perfect blend of fidelity and colourful warmth. The trussed hollowbody, with its internal soundposts and braced solid-wood top, further enhances the guitar's lyrical sustain and resonance.
Hardware and Features
This particular model of the A-Type is outfitted with a top-loading hardtail bridge, rather than the CamTail. This change offers a different feel and response, catering to players who prefer a more traditional setup. The saddle material has been upgraded to high-density brass, enhancing sustain and tonal clarity.
In a nod to classic styling, the guitar is finished in a solid colour, instead of the select maple option. The Firestripe pickguard adds a striking visual contrast, giving the guitar a unique, vintage-inspired look. Each component, aside from the tuners and strings, is meticulously crafted in-house, emphasising the exclusivity and craftsmanship of the Powers Electric A-Type.
