The Powers Electric A-Type is a masterpiece that blends classic inspiration with cutting-edge innovation, making it an essential instrument for modern guitarists seeking to push their musical boundaries. With its unique design, exceptional playability, and rich tonal quality, the A-Type is poised to become a cherished addition to any guitarist's collection. Experience the craftsmanship and sound of the Powers Electric A-Type and discover why it stands out in a crowded market. Read on below for further details.
Design and Inspiration
Inspired by the sleek lines of classic cars, hot rods, and surfboards, the A-Type boasts an asymmetrical shape that maintains perfect visual balance. This fully enclosed, slim hollowbody design reflects Powers' deep connection to the vibrant cultural scene of San Diego's North County. Every contour and curve of the A-Type has been carefully considered for both aesthetic appeal and practical handling, ensuring the guitar looks stunning from every angle.
Playability and Comfort
The A-Type excels in providing an unmatched playing experience. Its lightweight, hollow body ensures comfort whether youre sitting or standing, while the contoured armrest and radiused body edges enhance overall playability. The neck is designed to be the ideal blend of not too big and not too slim, flowing seamlessly into a unique fretboard geometry. This split radius fretboard, asymmetrical from the bass side to the treble side, allows for maximum playability and effortless, choke-free string bending.
Sound Quality and Innovation
Equipped with PF42 pickups, the Powers Electric A-Type delivers a firm, bright response. These partial Faraday pickups, designed by Powers, blend modern magnetic structures with vintage inspiration to produce a sound that combines clarity and warmth. The trussed hollowbody, featuring internal soundposts and a braced solid-wood top, enhances lyrical sustain and resonance while suppressing feedback.
Hardware and Features
This particular model of the A-Type includes the innovative CamTail bridge system. The CamTail, a camshaft tailpiece engineered by Powers, compensates for string tension and gauge, ensuring the strings stay in tune during pitch changes. This system also features a zero-point return mechanism, allowing players to bend notes without pitch droop and easily adjust to a full floating vibrato.
The guitar is finished in a solid, classic auto-inspired colour, giving it a timeless yet modern look. The Firestripe pickguard adds a striking contrast, enhancing the guitar's vintage-inspired aesthetic. High-density Delrin is used for the saddle material, providing excellent durability and tonal quality.
