Design and Inspiration
The Powers Electric A-Type draws heavily on the cultural tapestry of San Diego's North County, where Powers grew up surrounded by surfing, skateboarding, auto craft, music, art, and architecture. These influences are evident in the guitar's sleek, asymmetrical body design, reminiscent of classic cars and surfboards. The guitar's fully enclosed, slim hollowbody ensures it looks stunning from every angle while providing exceptional playability and balance.
Exceptional Playability
The A-Type is designed to feel amazing in the hands of players, whether they are sitting or standing. Its lightweight, hollow body allows for easy handling, while the contoured armrest and radiused body edges enhance playing comfort. The neck is crafted to be the perfect blend of not too big and not too slim, seamlessly flowing into the unique split radius fretboard. This asymmetrical fretboard is slightly flatter on the treble side, facilitating easier and more expressive string bending, making the guitar a joy to play.
Superior Sound
At the heart of the A-Type's sound are the PF42 (partial Faraday) pickups. These pickups deliver a firm, brighter tone with exceptional clarity, allowing the guitar to produce a dynamic and colourful sound. The trussed hollowbody design, featuring internal soundposts and a braced solid-wood top, maximises resonance and sustain while minimising feedback. This combination of advanced body architecture and innovative pickups ensures that the A-Type delivers a distinctive and inspiring sound.
Precision Hardware
The A-Type features a top-loading hardtail bridge, providing stability and ease of use while enhancing the guitar's tonal quality. The select figured quilt maple top with a transparent burst finish adds a touch of elegance, highlighting the natural beauty of the wood. Complementing this stunning finish is a white pearloid pickguard, adding a classic yet contemporary aesthetic. The high-density ebony saddle material further enhances the guitar's durability and tonal richness.
