The Power of Expression: Detroit Guitar’s Massive Collection of Powers Electric Guitars
When Andy Powers — the creative force behind Taylor Guitars — decided to launch Powers Electric, he wasn’t simply starting a new guitar brand. He was reimagining what the electric guitar could be. Years of innovation in acoustic design gave Andy a fresh lens for electrics — one focused on feel, balance, and resonance. Every Powers Electric A-Type reflects his drive to merge old-school inspiration with forward-thinking craftsmanship, blending vintage character with modern playability in a way only Andy could envision.
Each Powers Electric is born from a builder’s obsession: lightweight, responsive tonewoods; hand-shaped necks; and custom-designed pickups that capture a spectrum of tone — from chimey clarity to rich overdrive. As Andy puts it, these guitars are built “to inspire creativity and connect musicians more deeply to their sound.”
And right now, Detroit Guitar proudly holds what may be the largest selection of Powers Electric guitars anywhere in the world — straight from our recent Taylor event, where the Powers team left us with an incredible lineup to share with players.
A Collection That Defines Modern Craftsmanship
These are the A-Types currently available at Detroit Guitar — each one a distinct expression of Andy Powers’ vision for the modern electric guitar:
- Pearl White – Pure elegance meets clarity. A shimmering gloss finish and perfectly balanced resonance make this one a visual and sonic statement.
- Jet Black – Understated and commanding, with a deep, mirror-black tone that’s all business — clean lines, powerful midrange, and endless sustain.
- Satin Black – A stealthier take on the Powers design. The matte finish accentuates the sleek cam-tail shape and custom bridge design.
- Onyx Green Metallic – Deep emerald tones shimmer under light; smooth feel and punchy, modern response.
- Crystal Red Metallic – Bold, fiery, and full of dynamic presence — a stage-ready standout.
- Fjord Green – A nod to the natural landscapes that inspire Andy’s designs — refreshing, open, and balanced.
- Salmon Metallic – Warm and sophisticated with a subtle retro edge — the perfect blend of artistry and attitude.
- Viola Purple Metallic – One of the most unique colors in the Powers lineup, with a regal metallic glow that changes character under light.
- Terra Cotta – Earthy and organic, this model exudes warmth in both tone and appearance.
- Sienna Metallic – A deep copper-like finish that pairs perfectly with Powers’ natural resonance and refined hardware.
- Mint Fjord Green – A soft, modern twist on the classic Powers palette — cool, vibrant, and effortlessly playable.
- Shadow Black – Dark and elegant with subtle metallic sheen; a tone monster in a tuxedo.
- Chroma Cantaloupe – One of the boldest looks yet — bright, fun, and fully alive under stage lights.
- Birdseye Maple Top Desert Dawn – A stunning combination of tonewood artistry and sonic precision — a collector’s dream.
The A-Type Experience
Every A-Type is designed around Andy’s CamTail trem system, offering expressive control with perfect tuning stability. The Full Faraday and Partial Faraday pickups deliver a wide dynamic range and remarkable noise reduction, while the hollow-body construction gives each instrument a unique voice — airy, touch-sensitive, and incredibly alive.
From the meticulously carved body contours to the balanced neck feel and proprietary hardware, each Powers Electric guitar represents Andy Powers’ belief that instruments should feel like an extension of the player.
