Preowned Powers Electric A-Type Select Flame Transparent in Saffron Yellow Metallic

Here is a slightly preowned Powers Electric A-Type Select Flame Transparent in Saffron Yellow Metallic. The A-Type is actually a fully hollow, trussed body. It features an Ash back and sides with a solid Flame Maple top. Its construction includes internal sound posts, allowing it to be light, resonant, and resistant to feedback, while producing a loud, warm, and acoustic-like tone. Other specs include a Mahogany neck, Rosewood fretboard, twin arch Italian acrylic inlays, nickel hardware, PF42 pickups, CamTail vibrato and a custom leather softshell case. Excellent condition.

The Powers Electric A-Type is a fully enclosed, slim hollowbody guitar inspired by the surf, skate, car and music cultures of san diego. I wanted a guitar that didn’t sound or play like something you already know, yet offered the comfort of a perennial favorite. A guitar with great musical utility —no off-color notes, dead frets or useless pickup positions. A guitar that feels amazing every time you pick it up —inspiring you to explore fresh ideas while allowing you to sound more like you.

Inspired by San Diego’s blend of surf, skate, auto and music cultures, the A-Type re-imagines electric guitar design into a sound and feel all its own. The trussed, slim hollow body is remarkably lightweight and uniquely voiced to combine resonance, sustain and feedback suppression. An asymmetrical fretboard radius makes playing and bending strings effortless and produces a more consistent tonal character. A new single-coil pickup design blends warmth and fidelity (FF42) with a brighter and punchier pickup (PF42) option also available. The proprietary camtail trem/vibrato system keeps strings in tune with each other on dives and bends. Every design feature works to reveal a playing experience unlike any other — one that frees you up to sound more like you.
