Powers Electric A-Type Solana Sunset CamTail

This Solana Sunset A-Type is a stunner in both looks and performance.

From the body to the headstock, everything on the Powers Electric A-Type is made in-house, which means smaller production numbers given the labor-intensive craftsmanship involved. Let's take a quick look at what makes the A-Type special from a technical perspective:

The body is slim, hollow and fully enclosed. Inside, it contains two soundposts, similar to the soundpost in a violin, that allow the front and back to move together, increasing resonance and sustain while reducing feedback.

The colorful knobs (and trem arm cap) are shop-crafted in-house from layers of resin, which is inspired by the surfboard glassing process. Because of this, no two resin knobs look exactly alike.

The trem/vibrato system features a “camshaft tailpiece,” which Andy calls a CamTail for short. It's machined in-house and compensates for the string characteristics so the strings stay in tune as the pitch changes. The CamTail also contains a locking mechanism that stops the vibrato back at its normal pitch and allows the player to bend notes without pitch droop. It can be easily adjusted to allow for a full floating vibrato.

The FF42 pickups utilize a “full Faraday” cage made with 42-gauge wire. Visually, its engine turned on top, is reminiscent of hot rod detailing. Combined with this guitar's brass saddle, you can pull fat humbucker-like tones with ease, although there's more clarity than your average humbucker.
