Description
If you know the name Andy Powers, you already understand how deep the roots run. As Taylor's Master Guitar Designer turned visionary founder of Powers Electric, Andy didn't just build another electric guitar; he reshaped the concept entirely. These A-Types from Powers Electric are each a striking, one-off creation with tone, feel, and vibe that stands miles apart from anything else on the wall. Whether you're a tone chaser, a player searching for something fresh, or someone looking for a new muse, this is a guitar that'll pull you in and not let go.
Born from San Diego's swirl of surf culture, hot rod obsession, skate heritage, and musical rebellion, the A-Type is a lightweight, trussed hollowbody that feels like air in your hands yet rings with lyrical sustain. Its PF42 pickups, Andy's own creation, offer a slightly firmer, punchier voice than the warmer FF42s; delivering articulate top-end response and a bright, clear presence that's tailor-made for cutting through a mix. This one features the toploader hardtail bridge, offering rock-solid tuning stability, ultra-fast string changes, and a direct, immediate attack with excellent note definition. The result is a guitar that's tight, present, and built for players who demand precision.
This A-Type's Solana Sunrise finish is radiant and joyful-blending rich amber and sunlit gold into a burst that dances over the hand-selected flame maple top. The gloss-polished top shimmers with dimension, while the satin back and sides keep things smooth and grounded. The Firestripe pickguard complements the warmth of the finish, while PF42 pickups are topped with matching guard material for a clean, integrated look. Custom resin knobs and tips in orange, white, and yellow bring a pop of color that echoes the guitar's sunny personality. Rounded out with a Delrin saddle and hardtail bridge, this A-Type is focused, fast, and built to inspire.
At Cream City Music, we see dozens of guitars every day, but instruments like this? They're rare. The Powers Electric A-Type isn't just a fresh voice; it's a whole new language. This custom, made-to-order guitar captures everything Andy Powers set out to create: a guitar that reimagines tradition, liberates creativity, and redefines the Rule of Cool. The Powers Electric A-Type is a must-see, must-play kind of instrument, and we've got them here, at Cream City Music.
