As a pro-level electric player and builder, Andy has been tinkering for years on his dream electric guitar – Andy would say that this guitar is a lifetime in the making.

The fretboard has a split radius, different from an end-to-end compound radius.  It’s asymmetrical from the bass side to the treble side. The treble side is slightly flatter all the way from the first fret to the end of the board.  This allows for maximum playability and easier, choke-free string bending.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003eThe Sound\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThe pickups are a new design that blend modern magnetic structure with an old inspiration.

Visually, it’s engine turned on top, reminiscent of hot rod detailing.  Imagine single coil pickups with more muscle and P90's with more definition - and quite significantly, they are quiet, without much hum at all.  These are an all new pickup design, and it's obvious that Andy Powers has hit a home run.  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003eThe Trem \/ Vibrato\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePowers stated that he loves the tactile expression of a pitch-shifting tail, but they notoriously go out of tune as the pitch changes. So, he engineered a “camshaft” tailpiece (“CamTail”) with string ramps compensated for tension and gauge.  That way, when you dive on it, the strings move in pitch unison relative to each other.  This is influenced by his playing of lap and pedal steel, and it’s similar to moving chords and maintaining relative pitch.  It's machined in house.  The CamTail also contains a locking mechanism that stops the vibrato back at its normal pitch and allows the player to bend notes without pitch droop.

Visually, it’s engine turned on top, reminiscent of hot rod detailing.  Imagine single coil pickups with more muscle and P90's with more definition - and quite significantly, they are quiet, without much hum at all.  These are an all new pickup design, and it's obvious that Andy Powers has hit a home run.  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003eThe Trem \/ Vibrato\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePowers stated that he loves the tactile expression of a pitch-shifting tail, but they notoriously go out of tune as the pitch changes. So, he engineered a “camshaft” tailpiece (“CamTail”) with string ramps compensated for tension and gauge.  That way, when you dive on it, the strings move in pitch unison relative to each other.  This is influenced by his playing of lap and pedal steel, and it’s similar to moving chords and maintaining relative pitch.  It's machined in house.  The CamTail also contains a locking mechanism that stops the vibrato back at its normal pitch and allows the player to bend notes without pitch droop.

The body is hollow so you can hold it with ease; the contoured armrest and radiused body edges add to the playing comfort.  The neck is a “just right” blend of not too big and not too slim, flowing smoothly into the unique fretboard geometry. The fretboard has a split radius, different from an end-to-end compound radius.  It’s asymmetrical from the bass side to the treble side.

The fretboard has a split radius, different from an end-to-end compound radius.  It’s asymmetrical from the bass side to the treble side. The treble side is slightly flatter all the way from the first fret to the end of the board.  This allows for maximum playability and easier, choke-free string bending.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003eThe Sound\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThe pickups are a new design that blend modern magnetic structure with an old inspiration.

So, he engineered a “camshaft” tailpiece (“CamTail”) with string ramps compensated for tension and gauge.  That way, when you dive on it, the strings move in pitch unison relative to each other.  This is influenced by his playing of lap and pedal steel, and it’s similar to moving chords and maintaining relative pitch.  It's machined in house.  The CamTail also contains a locking mechanism that stops the vibrato back at its normal pitch and allows the player to bend notes without pitch droop. This is called a zero-point return.

So, he engineered a “camshaft” tailpiece (“CamTail”) with string ramps compensated for tension and gauge.  That way, when you dive on it, the strings move in pitch unison relative to each other.  This is influenced by his playing of lap and pedal steel, and it’s similar to moving chords and maintaining relative pitch.  It's machined in house.  The CamTail also contains a locking mechanism that stops the vibrato back at its normal pitch and allows the player to bend notes without pitch droop. This is called a zero-point return. It can be easily adjusted to allow for a full floating vibrato.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003eThe Knobs \u0026amp; Tips\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe colorful knobs (and trem arm cap) are shop-crafted in-house from layers of surfboard resin, which originally was a byproduct of the surfboard glassing process. Because of this, no two resin knobs look exactly alike.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBracing – Tone bar with soundposts  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMahogany neck (one piece)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 24 7\/8”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck profile -  Powers Electric Carve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Frets: 21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets – Jescar Custom Jumbo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: Split\/asymmetrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlay Material – Italian Acrylic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut - Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width – 1 11\/16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnobs\/Tips Type: Epoxy Resin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish – Poly-based UV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString – D’Addario XS 10-46\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom leather softshell case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU: \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eXPE1037917607622380-3052\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e","brand":"Powers Electric","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44894649254131,"sku":"00PWE025","price":4300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/1-Img3413.jpg?v=1710956089"},{"product_id":"powers-electric-a-type-hardtail-dolomite-silver-with-softshell-case","title":"Powers Electric A Type Hardtail Dolomite Silver with Softshell Case","description":"\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ciframe data-mce-fragment=\"1\" width=\"380\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8xPeCfPUVBo\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe electric guitar has been around for decades, not too far from a century now.  Over time, many have come and gone, with only a few having staying power.  Even fewer have become iconic - everyone knows what those are.  More often than not, new \"ideas\" are simple imitations or a mashup of well-known designs.  It's rare for something entirely original to be birthed into the world.  \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is why we are excited to present the new Powers Electric A-Type.  To quote one of the first people we showed it to, \"\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is everything I like about a guitar and nothing like what I already have\u003c\/i\u003e\".\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePowers Electric is a new line of electric guitars developed personally by Andy Powers, Taylor’s Chief Guitar Designer.

Rubbing the finish out by hand allows the finesse of a craftsperson’s hands to smooth the finish out, despite the fact the finish is so thin as to still reveal the textured surface of finely sanded wood.  It has an organic, rich tactile sensation that feels warm under your fingertips, and yet has invisible damping factor in the sound.  Hence, the flavor of these guitars is a little more concentrated and intense.\u003c\/em\u003e\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is the only one of these out there with this finish, color and specs.  We're pretty sure this one will go fast!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerial # A527\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor: Sweet Tea Orange\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickups: PF42 (Partial Faraday)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickguard: Firestripe\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge: Delrin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnobs: Warm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003eThe Body Style \u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eInspired by the lines of classic cars, hot rods and surfboard design, the guitar had to look good from every angle, Powers wanted an asymmetrical shape without sacrificing visual balance, and timeless styling with modern embellishments.

So, he engineered a “camshaft” tailpiece (“CamTail”) with string ramps compensated for tension and gauge.  That way, when you dive on it, the strings move in pitch unison relative to each other.  This is influenced by his playing of lap and pedal steel, and it’s similar to moving chords and maintaining relative pitch.  It's machined in house.  The CamTail also contains a locking mechanism that stops the vibrato back at its normal pitch and allows the player to bend notes without pitch droop.

So, he engineered a “camshaft” tailpiece (“CamTail”) with string ramps compensated for tension and gauge.  That way, when you dive on it, the strings move in pitch unison relative to each other.  This is influenced by his playing of lap and pedal steel, and it’s similar to moving chords and maintaining relative pitch.  It's machined in house.  The CamTail also contains a locking mechanism that stops the vibrato back at its normal pitch and allows the player to bend notes without pitch droop. This is called a zero-point return. It can be easily adjusted to allow for a full floating vibrato.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003eThe Knobs \u0026amp; Tips\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe colorful knobs (and trem arm cap) are shop-crafted in-house from layers of surfboard resin, which originally was a byproduct of the surfboard glassing process. Because of this, no two resin knobs look exactly alike.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBracing – Tone bar with soundposts  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMahogany neck (one piece)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 24 7\/8”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck profile -  Powers Electric Carve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Frets: 21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets – Jescar Custom Jumbo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: Split\/asymmetrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlay Material – Italian Acrylic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut - Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width – 1 11\/16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnobs\/Tips Type: Epoxy Resin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish – Poly-based UV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString – D’Addario XS 10-46\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom leather softshell case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number # XPE1038917607622384-3050\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Powers Electric","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45517339918579,"sku":"00PWE030","price":4300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/1-Img5977.jpg?v=1713986783"},{"product_id":"powers-electric-a-type-select-quilt-pale-ale-with-softshell-case","title":"Powers Electric A-Type Select Quilt Pale Ale with Softshell Case","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"380\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8xPeCfPUVBo\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePale Ale Quilt Top - 1 of 5 Made\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eThe electric guitar has been around for decades, not too far from a century now.  Over time, many have come and gone, with only a few having staying power.  Even fewer have become iconic - everyone knows what those are.  More often than not, new \"ideas\" are simple imitations or a mashup of well-known designs.  It's rare for something entirely original to be birthed into the world.  \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis is why we are excited to present the new Powers Electric A-Type.  To quote one of the first people we showed it to, \"\u003ci\u003eThis is everything I like about a guitar and nothing like what I already have\u003c\/i\u003e\".\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis one in particular is a unique one: it's not just an A-Type Select, but it's with a Quilt Maple top, specifically hand-picked for this guitar.  Powers only had enough Quilt Maple to make 5 of these, and this is one, done in a beautiful transparent finish called Pale Ale.  We were fortunate enough to be able get one.  It's stunning - we haven't seen Quilt Maple quite as exquisite as this.  Not only that, but it's also a HardTail version, just introduced this year.  And, it's super light.  This is a truly special guitar.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA-Type Select Quilt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Pale Ale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickups: FF42\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: Firestripe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardTail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 5.6 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWe only have one of these and are thinking it will go quick!  For the full story on Powers Electric, scroll down to read all that there is to know.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePowers Electric is a new line of electric guitars developed personally by Andy Powers, Taylor’s Chief Guitar Designer.

So, he engineered a “camshaft” tailpiece (“CamTail”) with string ramps compensated for tension and gauge.  That way, when you dive on it, the strings move in pitch unison relative to each other.  This is influenced by his playing of lap and pedal steel, and it’s similar to moving chords and maintaining relative pitch.  It's machined in house.  The CamTail also contains a locking mechanism that stops the vibrato back at its normal pitch and allows the player to bend notes without pitch droop. This is called a zero-point return. It can be easily adjusted to allow for a full floating vibrato.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003eThe Knobs \u0026amp; Tips\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe colorful knobs (and trem arm cap) are shop-crafted in-house from layers of surfboard resin, which originally was a byproduct of the surfboard glassing process. Because of this, no two resin knobs look exactly alike.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid Maple top, Urban ash body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBracing – Tone bar with soundposts  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMahogany neck (one piece)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 24 7\/8”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck profile -  Powers Electric Carve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHonduran Rosewood fingerboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Frets: 21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets – Jescar Custom Jumbo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: Split\/asymmetrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlay Material – Italian Acrylic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut - Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width – 1 11\/16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaddle Material: Delrin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTailpiece \/ Truss Rod Cover material - Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnobs\/Tips Type: Epoxy Resin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish – Poly-based UV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString – D’Addario XS 10-46\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom leather softshell case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU XPE2037917606900508-3045\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Powers Electric","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46462742135027,"sku":"00PWE042","price":3800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/1-Img14837.jpg?v=1733176114"},{"product_id":"powers-electric-a-type-signal-yellow-with-softshell-case","title":"Powers Electric A-Type Signal Yellow with Softshell Case","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"380\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8xPeCfPUVBo\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe electric guitar has been around for decades, not too far from a century now.  Over time, many have come and gone, with only a few having staying power.  Even fewer have become iconic - everyone knows what those are.  More often than not, new \"ideas\" are simple imitations or a mashup of well-known designs.  It's rare for something entirely original to be birthed into the world.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis is why we are excited to present the new Powers Electric A-Type.  To quote one of the first people we showed it to, \"\u003ci\u003eThis is everything I like about a guitar and nothing like what I already have\u003c\/i\u003e\".\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: A Type \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Signal Yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickups: FF42 (Full Faraday)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: Pearl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Delrin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnobs: Neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerial # A805\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePowers Electric is a new line of electric guitars developed personally by Andy Powers, Taylor’s Chief Guitar Designer.

It can be easily adjusted to allow for a full floating vibrato.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003eThe Knobs \u0026amp; Tips\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe colorful knobs (and trem arm cap) are shop-crafted in-house from layers of surfboard resin, which originally was a byproduct of the surfboard glassing process. Because of this, no two resin knobs look exactly alike.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid Maple top, Urban ash body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBracing – Tone bar with soundposts  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMahogany neck (one piece)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 24 7\/8”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck profile -  Powers Electric Carve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHonduran Rosewood fingerboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Frets: 21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets – Jescar Custom Jumbo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: Split\/asymmetrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlay Material – Italian Acrylic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut - Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width – 1 11\/16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaddle Material: Delrin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTailpiece \/ Truss Rod Cover material - Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnobs\/Tips Type: Epoxy Resin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish – Poly-based UV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString – D’Addario XS 10-46\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom leather softshell case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU XPE2037917606900578-3123\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Powers Electric","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46682676887795,"sku":"00PWE045","price":4300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/1-Img17685.jpg?v=1738973092"},{"product_id":"powers-electric-a-type-supernova-with-soft-case","title":"Powers Electric A-Type Supernova with Soft Case","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8xPeCfPUVBo\" height=\"200\" width=\"380\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe electric guitar has been around for decades, not too far from a century now.  Over time, many have come and gone, with only a few having staying power.  Even fewer have become iconic - everyone knows what those are.  More often than not, new \"ideas\" are simple imitations or a mashup of well-known designs.  It's rare for something entirely original to be birthed into the world.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis is why we are excited to present the new Powers Electric A-Type.  To quote one of the first people we showed it to, \"\u003ci\u003eThis is everything I like about a guitar and nothing like what I already have\u003c\/i\u003e\".\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePowers Electric is a new line of electric guitars developed personally by Andy Powers, Taylor’s Chief Guitar Designer.

So, he engineered a “camshaft” tailpiece (“CamTail”) with string ramps compensated for tension and gauge.  That way, when you dive on it, the strings move in pitch unison relative to each other.  This is influenced by his playing of lap and pedal steel, and it’s similar to moving chords and maintaining relative pitch.  It's machined in house.  The CamTail also contains a locking mechanism that stops the vibrato back at its normal pitch and allows the player to bend notes without pitch droop. This is called a zero-point return. It can be easily adjusted to allow for a full floating vibrato.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003eThe Knobs \u0026amp; Tips\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe colorful knobs (and trem arm cap) are shop-crafted in-house from layers of surfboard resin, which originally was a byproduct of the surfboard glassing process. Because of this, no two resin knobs look exactly alike.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBracing – Tone bar with soundposts  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMahogany neck (one piece)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 24 7\/8”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck profile -  Powers Electric Carve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Frets: 21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets – Jescar Custom Jumbo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: Split\/asymmetrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlay Material – Italian Acrylic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut -

So, he engineered a “camshaft” tailpiece (“CamTail”) with string ramps compensated for tension and gauge.  However, he also saw that there are is a world of players that prefer not to have a tremolo on their guitar, so in 2024, Powers released the HardTail version.  That's what this one is.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe hardtail unit is mounted directly to the top - it's not floating - anchoring all the way into the bracing architecture of the guitar.  It makes for a very uniquely coupled resonance.  Instead of sagging, the bridge unit is made of spring steel and sprung upwards against the string, creating a very dynamic response when the string is articulated.  Combined, the bridge and tailpiece provide a little chime and directness.  A small piece of wetsuit material (neoprene) is placed on the bottom of the bridge, creating a little bit of dampening and helping to prevent unwanted overtones, resulting in a clear, direct and true tone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003eThe Knobs \u0026amp; Tips\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe colorful knobs (and trem arm cap) are shop-crafted in-house from layers of surfboard resin, which originally was a byproduct of the surfboard glassing process. Because of this, no two resin knobs look exactly alike.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBracing – Tone bar with soundposts  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMahogany neck (one piece)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 24 7\/8”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck profile -  Powers Electric Carve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Frets: 21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets – Jescar Custom Jumbo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: Split\/asymmetrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlay Material – Italian Acrylic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut - Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width – 1 11\/16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnobs\/Tips Type: Epoxy Resin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish – Poly-based UV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString – D’Addario XS 10-46\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom leather softshell case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart #: ZXPE1038917907622408-3052\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Powers Electric","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47011496296691,"sku":"80PWE002","price":3699.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/1-Img17671.jpg?v=1738971817"},{"product_id":"powers-electric-a-type-pelham-blue-with-softshell-case","title":"Powers Electric A-Type Pelham Blue with Softshell Case","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8xPeCfPUVBo\" height=\"200\" width=\"380\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe electric guitar has been around for decades, not too far from a century now.  Over time, many have come and gone, with only a few having staying power.  Even fewer have become iconic - everyone knows what those are.  More often than not, new \"ideas\" are simple imitations or a mashup of well-known designs.  It's rare for something entirely original to be birthed into the world.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis is why we are excited to present the new Powers Electric A-Type.  To quote one of the first people we showed it to, \"\u003ci\u003eThis is everything I like about a guitar and nothing like what I already have\u003c\/i\u003e\".\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: A Type \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Pelham Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickups: FF42 (Full Faraday)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: Pearl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Delrin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnobs: Cool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerial # B003\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePowers Electric is a new line of electric guitars developed personally by Andy Powers, Taylor’s Chief Guitar Designer. But as the name suggests, this is not a Taylor-branded electric guitar, but an entirely new guitar design developed by Andy outside of Taylor’s design DNA. Think of it as his solo project outside of Taylor. As a pro-level electric player and builder, Andy has been tinkering for years on his dream electric guitar – Andy would say that this guitar is a lifetime in the making. Powers Electric is his creative outlet to continue indulging this longtime love of playing and building electric guitars. This is the electric guitar he always wanted as a player.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eTruetone Music was selected to be one of just a few dealers in the U.S. to launch this new brand, and we couldn't be more proud.  Read below for the full scoop, and come to Truetone to experience this amazing guitar in person.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe design was heavily influenced by the area where Andy Powers grew up: San Diego’s North County, close to the beach, where he was immersed in a vibrant cultural stew of surfing, skateboarding, auto craft, music, art and architecture — a rich mix of creative expression.  Other than the tuners and strings on the guitar, everything was designed and made in-house.  It's a boutique instrument, created by one of the modern masters of guitar design.  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003eThe Body Style \u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eInspired by the lines of classic cars, hot rods and surfboard design, the guitar had to look good from every angle, Powers wanted an asymmetrical shape without sacrificing visual balance, and timeless styling with modern embellishments. This is a fully enclosed, trussed hollow body with two internal sound posts fitted into a braced, solid-wood top. This allows the top and back to move in tandem to maximize resonance, suppress feedback and create a lyrical sustain.   Also, this guitar is LIGHT - it weighs in at just 6.2 lbs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003eThe Feel\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePowers wanted the guitar to be lightweight and perfectly balanced whether standing or sitting. The body is hollow so you can hold it with ease; the contoured armrest and radiused body edges add to the playing comfort.  The neck is a “just right” blend of not too big and not too slim, flowing smoothly into the unique fretboard geometry. The fretboard has a split radius, different from an end-to-end compound radius.  It’s asymmetrical from the bass side to the treble side. The treble side is slightly flatter all the way from the first fret to the end of the board.  This allows for maximum playability and easier, choke-free string bending.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003eThe Sound\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThe pickups are a new design that blend modern magnetic structure with an old inspiration.

So, he engineered a “camshaft” tailpiece (“CamTail”) with string ramps compensated for tension and gauge.  That way, when you dive on it, the strings move in pitch unison relative to each other.  This is influenced by his playing of lap and pedal steel, and it’s similar to moving chords and maintaining relative pitch.  It's machined in house.  The CamTail also contains a locking mechanism that stops the vibrato back at its normal pitch and allows the player to bend notes without pitch droop. This is called a zero-point return. It can be easily adjusted to allow for a full floating vibrato.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003eThe Knobs \u0026amp; Tips\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe colorful knobs (and trem arm cap) are shop-crafted in-house from layers of surfboard resin, which originally was a byproduct of the surfboard glassing process. Because of this, no two resin knobs look exactly alike.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid Maple top, Urban ash body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBracing – Tone bar with soundposts  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMahogany neck (one piece)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 24 7\/8”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck profile -  Powers Electric Carve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHonduran Rosewood fingerboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Frets: 21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets – Jescar Custom Jumbo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: Split\/asymmetrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlay Material – Italian Acrylic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut - Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width – 1 11\/16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaddle Material: Delrin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTailpiece \/ Truss Rod Cover material - Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnobs\/Tips Type: Epoxy Resin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish – Poly-based UV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString – D’Addario XS 10-46\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom leather softshell case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU XPE2037917606900618-3043\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Powers Electric","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47063542563059,"sku":"00PWE048","price":3999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/1-Img24929.jpg?v=1749688923"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.truetonemusic.mom\/collections\/powers-electric-sold-out.oembed?page=3","provider":"Truetone Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
