Powers Electric A-Type PF42

Inspired by the vibrant cultural fusion of San Diego’s surf, skate, auto, and music scenes, the Powers Electric A-Type PF42 is not just a guitar — it's a statement of design innovation and sonic individuality. Created by Andy Powers of Taylor guitars fame and his team, this model reimagines the electric guitar from the inside out. With its trussed, fully hollow slim body design, the A-Type offers an incredibly lightweight playing experience that still delivers impressive sustain and resonance — all while keeping feedback to a minimum. Its sleek Continental Orange finish, paired with custom-matched resin appointments and a firestripe pickguard, makes this instrument a visual standout that reflects its hot-rod inspiration. Under the hood, the PF42 Partial Faraday pickups deliver a bright, focused, and punchy tone with just the right amount of character. These pickups are carefully voiced to cut through a mix while retaining warmth and nuance, making the A-Type ideal for genres ranging from modern indie rock and ambient textures to funk, jazz, and clean, chiming pop tones. The asymmetrical fretboard radius and Powers Electric neck carve are built for fluid playability, with jumbo frets and a comfortable 24-7/8” scale length that encourages expressive bending and effortless chording across the entire neck. Whether you're drawn to its boundary-pushing design or its dynamic, articulate tone, the A-Type PF42 is a compelling option for players who value innovation, playability, and individuality. Finished with premium materials like Honduran rosewood and equipped with a carbon steel bridge and Delrin saddles, every detail of this guitar has been considered to deliver a modern classic. It comes housed in a custom leather softshell case, ready for both the stage and the studio.
