This is a used 2024 Powers Electric A-Type in Chalk - originally sold here at The Music Zoo. With the exception of light playwear on the pickguard, the guitar remains clean with the original case included.
The pickups in this A-Type are "FF42" pickups: single-coil pickups within a "Full Faraday cage". These are a new pickup design from Andy that blends a modern magnetic structure with vintage inspiration. Imagine the most full-fidelity version of a guitar pickup you've ever wanted, and these might be it. Lots of clarity and warmth with an immediate reaction to pick attack and dynamics depending where the volume and tone are set. Adding in the brass saddle as opposed to the ebony found on other A-Types gives this guitar a bump in warmth and resonance thanks to the material used.
With the exception of the tuners, all of the hardware is made in house at Powers Electric. The tailpiece is a vibrato unit with a special camshaft that's designed to bend the notes in pitch unison just like you'd find on a lap or pedal steel guitar. The knobs and tremolo arm tip are handmade of colorful resin and inspired by the excess material when glassing a surfboard, or if you're old enough to remember - "Fordite", which was the excess paint that came from hand-spraying cars in the 1950s. If you think you already have a guitar collection full of all the tools you need, we encourage you to add a Powers Electric to the arsenal! It might just be your new secret weapon.
