Details
We’ve been fans of Andy Powers and his contributions to the guitar world since we first heard of him. It’s no surprise to us that his foray into the boutique electric guitar world was a successful one. The design of the Powers Electric A-Type is elegantly familiar but pleasantly modern. It has elements of ’50s/’60s Southern California, as well as nods to some of the first modern electric guitars. Its hollow body construction makes it incredibly lightweight, and easy to stand with. The pickups, a set of Powers’ proprietary FF42 single coils, are a focal point of the instrument, and give this guitar a hi-fidelity single coil sound with punch and articulation. The tremolo is an innovative take on a classic design we know well, and was expanded upon with intonation in mind. Each string has a compensated slot on the tail piece that ensures the strings will reset back in-tune. This guitar masterfully encompasses guitar culture through its surf, car, and skate aesthetics, and creates something uniquely purposeful and versatile. It comes with its original Powers Electric gig bag.
