Powers Electric A-Type | Sandalwood Tan
PF42 Pickups - CamTail Bridge - Solid Auto-Inspired Colour - Firestripe Pickgaurd - Delrin Saddle
The Powers Electric A-Type combines artistic vision with technical excellence, offering a unique design, exceptional playability, and rich tonal quality. It's the ideal guitar for modern players who appreciate both tradition and innovation, truly setting itself apart as an instrument in a league of its own. Read on below and see just what exactly makes these guitars special.
Inspired Design
The A-Type's design is influenced by the sleek lines of classic cars, hot rods, and surfboards, reflecting the dynamic culture of San Diego's North County. This area, rich in surfing, skateboarding, auto craft, music, art, and architecture, has deeply influenced Powers' approach. The guitar's asymmetrical shape balances visual appeal with ergonomic efficiency, resulting in a fully enclosed, slim hollowbody design that is as beautiful as it is functional.
Exceptional Playability
The Powers Electric A-Type prioritises player comfort and playability. Its lightweight, hollow body ensures effortless handling whether standing or sitting, while the contoured armrest and radiused body edges enhance the overall playing experience. The neck is a perfect blend of size, offering a smooth transition into the unique split radius fretboard. This asymmetrical fretboard, which is flatter on the treble side, allows for seamless string bending and maximum playability, encouraging players to explore new ideas and express their unique sound.
Superior Sound
This model of the A-Type is equipped with PF42 (partial Faraday) pickups, designed to deliver a firm, bright sound. These pickups combine modern magnetic structures with vintage inspiration, allowing for natural string vibration and producing both fidelity and colourful warmth. The trussed hollowbody, featuring internal soundposts and a braced solid-wood top, maximises resonance and lyrical sustain while effectively suppressing feedback.
Hardware and Features
Equipped with the innovative CamTail bridge system, the Powers Electric A-Type ensures superior tuning stability during pitch changes. This camshaft tailpiece compensates for string tension and gauge, keeping the strings in tune and featuring a zero-point return mechanism that allows players to bend notes without pitch droop. The system is easily adjustable for a full floating vibrato, adding to the guitar's versatility.
The A-Type is finished in a solid, classic auto-inspired colour, giving it a timeless aesthetic. The Firestripe pickguard adds a striking visual contrast, giving the guitar a unique, vintage-inspired look. High-density Delrin saddle material further enhances the guitar's durability and tonal richness.
