Powers Electric A-Type | Jet Black
PF42 Pickups - CamTail Bridge - Solid Auto-Inspired Colour - Firestripe Pickgaurd - Delrin Saddle
The Powers Electric A-Type is a fusion of artistic vision and technical excellence, offering unique design, exceptional playability, and rich tonal quality. It’s the perfect guitar for modern players who appreciate both tradition and innovation, setting a new standard in its class. Read on below to see the full scope of what makes these guitars great.
Design and Inspiration
The A-Type's design draws heavily from the sleek lines of classic cars, hot rods, and surfboards, reflecting the vibrant cultural milieu of San Diego's North County. This region's rich mix of surfing, skateboarding, auto craft, music, art, and architecture profoundly influenced Powers' creative process. The result is an asymmetrical yet visually balanced guitar that looks stunning from every angle. This fully enclosed, slim hollowbody design combines timeless styling with modern embellishments, making it as beautiful as it is functional.
Playability and Comfort
The Powers Electric A-Type is designed with the player's comfort in mind. Its lightweight, hollow body ensures ease of handling whether standing or sitting, while the contoured armrest and radiused body edges enhance playing comfort. The neck offers a perfect blend of size and smooth transition into the unique split radius fretboard. This asymmetrical fretboard, which is flatter on the treble side, allows for effortless string bending and maximum playability, ensuring that players can explore fresh ideas and sound more like themselves.
Sound Quality and Innovation
This specific model of the A-Type features PF42 (partial Faraday) pickups, designed to produce a firm, bright sound. These pickups blend modern magnetic structure with vintage inspiration, allowing the strings to vibrate more naturally and delivering both fidelity and colourful warmth. The guitar's trussed hollowbody, with internal soundposts and a braced solid-wood top, maximises resonance and lyrical sustain while 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.
