Seller's description

In the summer of 2024, members of CME's buying team traveled to the Powers Factory in San Diego to hand-select tops for a run of guitars. Sorting through the  stockpile of premium figured maple tops, they were able to find the best pieces available to design some exceptional Powers guitars. This guitar features a top picked during that trip. “San Diego is the pot that I was boiled in,” Andy Powers said at an exclusive press event announcing the debut of the Powers Electric A-Type guitar model. “I’ve lived here my whole life. Knowing what that looked like, what it felt like, and the kinds of things people did—those things shape who you are.” Designed with the vibrant musical, artistic, and architectural backdrop of San Diego’s North County in mind—think surfing, skateboards, and classic cars—the new Powers Electric A-Type model blends these influences and aesthetics to provide players with a new tool to enrich and inspire their creative expression. Comprised almost entirely of parts made in-house, each Powers Electric guitar requires labor-intensive craftsmanship, meaning they can only be produced in small numbers. Style   Inspired by the lines of classic cars, hot rods, and surfboard design, the Powers Electric A-Type guitar sports an asymmetrical shape, without sacrificing visual balance. Featuring timeless styling and modern embellishments, the resulting model is a trussed, slim hollowbody design, for which—like a surfboard or roadster—every line was considered, both for its looks and its handling. As if the aesthetic links to Southern California’s surfboard culture weren’t clear enough, the colorful knobs and vibrato arm cap on each A-Type guitar are shop-crafted in-house from layers of surfboard resin, which originally was a byproduct of the surfboard glassing process—and, as a result, no two resin knobs look exactly alike! Feel   Made to be held with ease, the A-Type is lightweight and perfectly balanced whether played standing or sitting, with contoured armres
