Drawing inspiration from the car, surfing, and music cultures he grew up around, Andy set out to build the guitar that would deliver a sound, look, and feel that he didn’t have, which meant starting from scratch – no small task, to put it lightly!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the body to the headstock, everything on the 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:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe colorful knobs (and trem arm cap) are shop-crafted in-house from layers of surfboard resin, which originally was a byproduct of the surfboard glassing process. Because of this, no two resin knobs look exactly alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAndy’s original design FF42 and PF42 pickups. The FF42 are the warmer of the two pickups and use a “full Faraday” cage made with 42-gauge wire. Visually, it’s engine turned on top, reminiscent of hot rod detailing. The PF42, “partial Faraday” pickup, creates a firmer, brighter sound and visually features matching pickguard material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn asymmetrical fingerboard radius – which is slightly flatter on the treble side – allows for easy, better-sounding string bends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo, how do these technical specs add up? What does the A-Type feel and sound like? In a word: \u003cstrong\u003eincredible\u003c\/strong\u003e. This is a lightweight, perfectly balanced guitar with a loud acoustic voice that truly achieves what Andy set out to achieve – it’s inspiring, really musical (read: a blast to play), and sounds fantastic whether clean or overdriven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHighlights?\u003c\/strong\u003e Ease of play, balanced\/touch sensitive\/rewarding\/inspiring tones, and the CamTail! To be able to play a chord and dip the bar down a whole step – while keeping the chord in tune – is a remarkable experience as a player. It’s the TransTrem idea in a way more vintage inspired instrument.
