Powers Electric A-Type HardTail Electric Guitar – Pale Ale – #B129

Premium Tone Meets Striking Aesthetics – The Powers Electric A-Type HardTail Electric Guitar in Pale Ale

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.
