Love is in the air….and Valentine’s day around the corner.
I heard that 2010 is the year of the tiger, but this Valentine’s day it seems to be the year of the guitar. They’re all over the cards, saying
“you rock” and other messages, and this year the #1 gift is the heart shaped guitar hero guitar. Who knew.
We love cards and gifts too, so decided to give our cards away for free! Feel free to grab our free valentine’s day card with the unique Wallpusher Bass featured. We’ll be making a monthly card, all you have to do is click on it to grab the full size image, and then send it to your friends!
Valentine’s day is definitely a holiday where the rubber hits the road, and if love is in the air, it’s time to show it! Whether you happen to hate pink like me, or Valentine’s is your favorite holiday, the day is still on its way. Come the 14th I can’t help remembering Valentine’s day candies with their pastel chalky messages, and cutting out victorian valentines with bare bottom cherubs and very delicate doilies. Maybe like me you’ve been hounded since childhood by memories of the pressure of creating a valentine for everyone you knew, and hoping that someone didn’t (or did) have a crush on you, and feeling very confused all together by the occasion.
Heart Guitar Hero
What does your crush, spouse, date, or otherwise intended really want this Valentine’s day? Yeah sure so the Heart Guitar Hero is a nice gift, not #1 on my list, but cool, so the question is what do they really want? Very few times a year are we able to show that special someone how we feel, and guess what…here’s a day set aside for it!
I’ve always kind of shied away from the subject, but it’s staring me in the face nonetheless. What would I love to receive? What can I give that will make my special one feel as special as they are, and honestly, my mind keeps wandering back to music. I remember getting my first guitar, and how excited and happy and special I felt, as though it were a sign that somebody believed in me, that, although

We strive to provide quality in every area, and it’s always good to hear that we’re achieving that quality from the source.
TESTIMONIALS:
“…adjustable guitar straps offer one handed adjustments in seconds!”
We don’t usually give in to the Facebook crazes, but we thought last week’s was kind of neat, so here it is:
Wallpusher’s definition in the urban dictionary is: really awesome striped Bass guitar. Light, ergonomic bass guitars that offer more options for the musician. Wallpusher: made by musicians for musicians.
Wallpusher creates original handmade electric bass guitars engineered as tools for the musician to offer more options on stage. Creativity and quality are easier to achieve with the simple innovations that Wallpusher guitars has to offer. Wallpusher guitars give you the freedom to play in a tool that takes account for many of your creative desires. Handcarved, original organic wood laminates that last, higher sound quality and aesthetic pleasure than anything you can find in stores. Available from www.wallpusher.com, take it further with Wallpusher. Wallpusher offers several pre-designed body and neck styles for easy playability, but for the more creative types, we offer a myriad of choices so that you can choose the shape and length of the guitar you’d like.
So why all the Tshirts? A great band is looking for a new shirt design, so we pulled out all the stops and designed some Wallpusher Design shirts that give a pretty full range of different options– all in classic Black and White.
So– there you go. IF anyone else you know needs tshirts, we got ideas. Send people here for ideas.
Have you heard about Caspian? Check them out, they’re a postrock band from the Boston area local to Wallpusher who have been making a big splash all over the music scene lately. We’ve been fortunate to see them in Boston/Cambridge, but in March they’ll be touring all over the country, and then international, so I’ve heard.
The reviews and testimonials on their Myspace page are quite compelling. Passionate- lots in common with Wallpusher. Here’s a quick taste of why they’re worth listening to, quoted from their Myspace.
“This batch of songs is anchored by brilliant, restless songwriting. No boring twenty-minute crescendos here. Tertia i
s full of surprises… There’s scarcely a better post-rock record on the horizon. 9/10″
- PREFIXMAG
“Tertia” is just as effective when it sparkles as when it storms. Caspian has the instrumental firepower to make a big noise when it feels like it. But the melodies, timbres and harmonics are so fully realized that “Tertia” would be mighty, even without its climaxes.”
- THE WASHINGTON POST
“A dense work of post-rock with purpose.”
- RHAPSODY
They are a great bunch of guys, and we thoroughly encourage you to buy their new album, Tertia. It’s awesome.
Word about the t-shirt template: all the credit for the template of girl/guy shirt goes to Madnessism from Deviant Art, thanks so much for putting it online to share!!
Who’s taking bets on the direction of the critter’s shadow this year?
Considering how cute they are, and how they do give us a fun holiday to mark the beginning of spring thoughts, even if spring is a long way off– I decided to make the little guy the subject of my monthly card. Feel free to download the card and use it as you’d like, or if you have a card idea, we’d love to post it on our website.
I’ve never been able to spell or pronounce Mr. Groundhog’s name, but apparently this year Punxsatawney Phil is being challenged by other groundhogs for his stardom. Poor little guy.
We’ll I guess that I would vote for whichever creature that decides spring is coming sooner. It is a funny tradition, but stranger still is what I found out about groundhogs when I started looking: Continue reading

Walter Matthew and Beautiful Guitar
We Love Walter as a friend, respect him as a great artist, and an innovative teacher. Matthew first met Walter teaching at the Museum of Fine Arts School in Boston, MA where Walter taught guitar making. When Matthew entered the SMFA Diploma Program in 2000, THE oldest fine arts degree in the country, he introduced himself to Walter and showed him the guitars that he had been making since childhood in New Jersey. Walter was amazed, and hired Matthew to help him teach guitar making.
Walter and Matthew share a similar spirit, their friendship is an intuitive one– they speak the same way, passionate about every subject from their art, to their teaching, to the flow of a shop. Everything is exciting to Walter, who says “I don’t know how much time I’ve got left” but is constantly working to innovate beautiful instruments and share his skills through teaching at renowned universities. His teaching talents are praised Continue reading
