This 2023 Powers A-Type Select in Cosmo Red embodies years of meticulous development, reflecting Andy’s pursuit of the ideal electric guitar. As a professional player and builder, Andy crafted this instrument as a unique creative venture—a culmination of his lifelong passion for electric guitars. The result is a distinct, expertly designed guitar built to meet the demands of serious musicians.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body design draws inspiration from classic cars, hot rods, and surfboards, achieving a striking asymmetrical shape that balances timeless elegance with modern details from every angle. This fully enclosed, trussed hollow body features two internal sound posts within a braced, solid-wood top, enabling the top and back to vibrate together. This construction maximizes resonance, reduces feedback, and delivers a smooth, sustained tone. Notably lightweight, the guitar offers superb comfort, enhanced by a hollow body, contoured armrest, and radiused edges for effortless playability whether seated or standing. The neck strikes an ideal balance—neither thick nor thin—seamlessly connecting to a uniquely shaped fretboard with an asymmetrical split radius. The flatter treble side along the entire fretboard facilitates easier string bending and greater playability without choking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pickups are a new design that blend modern magnetic structure with an old inspiration. It allows the strings to vibrate more naturally and produce both fidelity and colorful warmth – which often tend to be at odds with one another but beautifully complement each other within this design. Powers designed two variations of this pickup – one emphasizing clarity and warmth, the other with a firm, brighter response. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular guitar is loaded with the latter, called PF42 pickups.  It’s a “Partial Faraday” cage made with 42-gauge wire. This creates a striking tone that will cut through the mix but still have a vintage warmth to it.  And, the PF42 pickups visually features matching pickguard material.  These are an all new pickup design, and it's obvious that Andy Powers has hit a home run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CamTail tremolo system reflects Andy Powers’ love for expressive pitch-shifting, engineered to maintain tuning stability through compensated string ramps that keep all strings moving in unison. Inspired by lap and pedal steel techniques, it includes a zero-point return locking mechanism for precise pitch control and can be adjusted for full floating vibrato. Finishing touches like the vibrant knobs and tremolo arm cap are crafted in-house from layered surfboard resin—a unique material with no two pieces alike—adding an artisanal flair to this meticulously designed instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis incredible instrument is in excellent condition and comes with its original soft case.  The techs in our shop set it up to play perfectly.  If you're looking for a killer Powers Electric A-Type Select, you've found it here!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Cosmo Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickups: PF42 (Partial Faraday)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: Firestripe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Delrin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnobs: Neutral\u003cbr\u003e\n\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\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\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Powers Electric","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47772474081523,"sku":"50PWE000","price":3299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/1-Img30780.jpg?v=1758318646","url":"https:\/\/www.truetonemusic.mom\/products\/used-2023-powers-electric-a-type-select-cosmo-red-with-soft-case","provider":"Truetone Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
