DW Music is proud to have been selected as an Australian dealer for Powers Electric Guitars. We are enthralled by Andy's vision for Powers Electric Guitars, and believe that they stand alongside the finest and most groundbreaking guitars of this generation.
"I love the electric guitar. I’ve owned, played and worked on many of the great ones. I didn’t see a need to recreate those. I wanted something that shared in the inspirations of past makers but was created for tomorrow’s player. It meant creating a fresh design from the ground up based on decades of work and study."
ANDY POWERS, FOUNDER
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. The proprietary camtail trem/vibrato system keeps strings in tune with each other on dives and bends. Every design feature works to reveal a playing experience unlike any other — one that frees you up to sound more like you.
