Powers Electric A-Type PF42 Camtail Two-Tone Hemi Orange/Crystal Red Metallic

Like a finely tuned sports car, the A-Type balances precision with character. Whether you’re after clean, glassy tones or gritty, saturated growl, it delivers with style to spare.

The Powers Electric A-Type has been turning heads since its debut in June 2023 and this limited two-tone finish for 2025 makes it even harder to ignore. Finished in a striking Hemi Orange / Crystal Red Metallic, this A-Type is a bold expression of Andy Powers' vision: a high-performance electric guitar rooted in the energy of SoCal's surf, skate, and hotrod culture.

Visually, the A-Type stands apart from other electrics on the market. From the Camtail tremolo (think custom car styling) to the custom knobs and switch tip (a nod to surfboard glassing), every detail feels considered and original. Most finishes in the lineup draw from iconic Porsche paint colors and this 2025 run pushes that aesthetic even further. But it’s not just a looker.

Under the hood, the A-Type is a tonal machine. The compound radius fingerboard, inspired by surfboard shaping, offers an innovative twist: it flattens vertically across the string courses, not just up the neck. That means a slightly rounder feel under the bass strings and a flatter surface under the trebles, delivering effortless playability across styles.

The in-house pickups are full of personality, with chimey cleans, rich sustain, and harmonically complex overdrive. The guitar compresses in just the right way, responding dynamically to every nuance.
