The Powers Electric A-Type is a fully enclosed, slim hollowbody guitar that embodies the energy of San Diego’s surf, skate, car, and music cultures. From its groundbreaking body design to its meticulously crafted electronics and hardware, every detail of these small-batch guitars has been conceived from the ground up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrussed Hollow Body Design\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe A-Type features a lightweight, hollow ash body reinforced by a unique internal truss system, delivering exceptional resonance and sustain. Two soundposts connect the top and the back of the guitar under the bridge, allowing the top and back to vibrate in harmony, adding even more resonant character to the instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe maple top is built onto the guitar under tension – bending one side back to create a comfortable arm contour. This tension creates a livelier top and raises the resonant frequencies of the guitar. Every feature on these guitars has been deliberately designed to maximize its performance!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePF42 Pickups\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PF42 pickups combine modern magnets with a partial aluminum enclosure to create a bold articulate sound. These pickups provide punch and clarity that will cut through any mix while staying balanced and musical. Even though the PF42s offer more punch and bite, they offer plenty of warmth and color to achieve fat wide range tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSplit Radius Honduran Rosewood Fretboard\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything about the neck and fingerboard is designed for natural, effortless playability and resonance. The Honduran rosewood fingerboard has an asymmetrical “split” radius that’s slightly flatter on the treble side, and more rounded on the bass side, allowing for easy playability and choke-free string bending.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCamshaft “Camtail” Tailpiece \u0026amp;amp; Top-Loading Hardtail Options\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose between a groundbreaking, super-expressive \"Camtail\" vibrato system or a solid, top-loading hardtail bridge—both offering precise tuning stability and dynamic response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Camtail was engineered to compensate for string gauge and tension, providing lapsteel-inspired pitch shifts and exceptional tuning stability. This novel design provides players with another dimension of expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted Details\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExtra features include automotive-inspired finishes, and resin knobs – which are inspired by surfboard and hot rod painting processes. No two knobs are identical and feature layers of different colored resin, with each set taking hours to create. Paired with striking, automotive-inspired leather case, the A-Type is as visually captivating as it is meticulously designed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote: After close inspection, this instrument has scratching and impressions\/scuffs.
