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 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. It's 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. Paired with the proprietary CamTail tremolo system, you get expressive pitch modulation that keeps your strings in sync and your tuning locked. The sound is crisp, bold, and wide open; a perfect platform for players who value clarity and attack without sacrificing depth.
This A-Type's Nordic Gold Metallic finish radiates high-octane elegance; a deeply saturated, gleaming gold with a cool, metallic undertone that feels both luxurious and fearless. With a polished top, back, and sides, the entire guitar gleams with custom shop presence. The white pickguard adds a clean visual break, while the swirl knobs and tips-resin-cast in white, red, orange, and yellow-bring in a vibrant hit of playful color. The PF42 pickups are finished in white and mounted in rich ebony rings, giving the instrument a sharp contrast and layered look. Every element, from the machined aluminum CamTail to the brass saddle, has been chosen to balance performance with stunning design.
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.
