Andy Powers, renowned for his innovations at Taylor Guitars—particularly the acclaimed V-Class bracing design—has a deep connection to electric guitars, both as a player and designer. Though best known for his work in acoustics, Andy’s extensive experience with vintage electrics and his gigging background have greatly influenced his approach to guitar design. His first electric model, the Powers Electric A-Type, reflects not only his passion for vintage guitars but also his upbringing in San Diego’s vibrant surf, skate, car, and music culture.
