Plug in and feel the Powers!  Here's a very early builds (serial # A050).  Truetone was one of the original 8 dealers in the world when the brand debuted in 2023.  This particular guitar was one of the first we received - it was actually  It's now back here again, available and ready to go.

The Powers Electric line represents a fresh direction from Andy Powers, Taylor’s Chief Guitar Designer, showcasing his personal vision beyond Taylor's traditional design. This 2023 Powers A-Type Select in Cosmo Red embodies years of meticulous development, reflecting Andy’s pursuit of the ideal electric guitar. As a professional player and builder, Andy crafted this instrument as a unique creative venture—a culmination of his lifelong passion for electric guitars. The result is a distinct, expertly designed guitar built to meet the demands of serious musicians.

The body design draws inspiration from classic cars, hot rods, and surfboards, achieving a striking asymmetrical shape that balances timeless elegance with modern details from every angle. This fully enclosed, trussed hollow body features two internal sound posts within a braced, solid-wood top, enabling the top and back to vibrate together. This construction maximizes resonance, reduces feedback, and delivers a smooth, sustained tone. Notably lightweight, the guitar offers superb comfort, enhanced by a hollow body, contoured armrest, and radiused edges for effortless playability whether seated or standing. The neck strikes an ideal balance—neither thick nor thin—seamlessly connecting to a uniquely shaped fretboard with an asymmetrical split radius. The flatter treble side along the entire fretboard facilitates easier string bending and greater playability without choking.

The pickups are a new design that blend modern magnetic structure with an old inspiration. It allows the strings to vibrate more naturally and produce both fidelity and colorful warmth – which often tend to be at odds with one another but beautifully complement each other within this design. Powers designed two variations of this pickup – one emphasizing clarity and warmth, the other with a firm, brighter response. 

This particular guitar is loaded with the latter, called PF42 pickups.  It’s a “Partial Faraday” cage made with 42-gauge wire. This creates a striking tone that will cut through the mix but still have a vintage warmth to it.  And, the PF42 pickups visually features matching pickguard material.  These are an all new pickup design, and it's obvious that Andy Powers has hit a home run.

The CamTail tremolo system reflects Andy Powers’ love for expressive pitch-shifting, engineered to maintain tuning stability through compensated string ramps that keep all strings moving in unison. Inspired by lap and pedal steel techniques, it includes a zero-point return locking mechanism for precise pitch control and can be adjusted for full floating vibrato. Finishing touches like the vibrant knobs and tremolo arm cap are crafted in-house from layered surfboard resin—a unique material with no two pieces alike—adding an artisanal flair to this meticulously designed instrument.

This incredible instrument is in excellent condition and comes with its original soft case.  The techs in our shop set it up to play perfectly.  If you're looking for a killer Powers Electric A-Type Select, you've found it here!
