Finding your style is crucial to becoming a musician. Every musician sends a message visually which can complement on accentuate the message your music sends to your fans. From grunge to metal to disco glam to hip hop, style has been a crucial factor for every musician that has made it. Your your guitar strap, style of dress, your guitar, everything on stage sends a message. Some parts of your style are functional too, your guitar may produce exactly that sound that you’re looking for, but not look the way you want it to. Wallpusher guitar straps look great, and work great too- so you don’t have to choose style or function, they have both. Now you can use the adjustable guitar strap to raise and lower the guitar effortlessly, to change heights while playing or soloing. Wallpusher Guitar Straps are a great price, find them at Etsy.

AND since today IS EARTH DAY celebrate the planet with great goods made of recycled wood–

Wallpusher guitars are made ofwood that would have been thrown into a landfill. Every guitar is hand made with pieces that were salvaged from churches, schools, homes, storms, and more. It’s always great to know that the instument that you express yourself on stage with is not only great style, and sound, but also a great message of saving the planet and an example of making beautiful things with already existing materials.
Yeay for earth day!

Another happy customer: Jim Trick, came to the shop for his custom adjustable guitar strap the other day.

What’s in a strap? Your guitar strap is perhaps the most important accessory to your guitar playing, and should make your playing easier, not harder. Wallpusher Guitar Straps are designed to give maximum flexibility to the player, so they can change the height of the guitar at anytime during play. If you want to make your playing easier and more fun, you can order your own handmade guitar strap on our etsy page.

Jim Trick with his Wallpusher Guitar Strap

We had fun with Jim, showing him the shop and many guitars in different stages of production. He played us several of his newest songs, and really loved the ease with which he could change the height of his guitar for solos or rhythm playing.

He was impressed by all the stages of making a guitar, and loved seeing the tools we use. He tried his hand at a Japanese Pull Saw, and did a great job! We ended the night with a ceremonial trashing of the old guitar strap, Jim was so happy with his new Wallpusher strap, he won’t need the old one again!

We love sponsoring our favorite musicians, and Jim is definitely one of them. We met Jim and his wife Alison at Soulfest 2009, were impressed by his playing and stage presence. Jim is an accomplished acoustic guitarist / singer who is able to weave real life stories into melodies ranging in style from contemporary folk to acoustic rock. Jim sings and speaks at concerts, retreats, colleges, churches, Mens ministries,  Singles groups, keynote addresses, leadership training, workshops and youth groups. Find out more about his work and talent at www.jimtrick.com or listen to his latest album on myspace.

Happy Monday everybody! So to wake up this week, we started playing music in the shop, OF COURSE, but since we’ve looped our ipod several times in all the weeks of carving, gluing and clamping, finishing, guitar setup and electrical, we were at a loss as to which album to start out with.

Google to the rescue! Or more specifically, Digg. I grew up saying “dig it?” and  still do when talking to interns about my patterns and ideas for guitars, but I haven’t gotten around to using the program too much…until today.

I came across (stumbled? how can you stumbleupon digg?) a list of the 50 best guitar albums of all time, with Led Zeppelin IV being named #1. 50 greatest guitar albums Since I had decided to play my luck this morning, I went with it without questioning the order.

What do you think? What IS the best guitar album? REALLY tough question, maybe subjective, maybe impossible, but for a Monday, this article got me thinkin’ and did the trick.

Thanks for reading! I’ll be adding more how to make guitar, how to play guitar, and more, so do subscribe and send your friends to wallpusher!

Wallpusher interns

Have you heard about the Wallpusher Intern Program?

Wallpusher is a private business offering solutions for musicians. Our interns come to us from multiple sources,  from Art Schools such as Montserrat, the MFA and MassArt, traditional colleges such as Gordon College and Endicott, and the occasional highly motivated highschool student. Many other professionals take time out of their week to learn the skills that are offered at Wallpusher. All of our interns are motivated,  enthusiastic, and work hard. So far in the Wallpusher Intern to Learn Program, we have been focusing on the ancient woodworking and guitar working techniques of making guitars and guitar straps. We are interested in branching out in other directions, and seeking  individuals with basic electrical guitar wiring skills who would like to experiment in creating new possibilities for wiring and tone options. Email info@wallpusher.com if you or someone you know is interested in this opportunity

If you are interested in attaining the skills to create things you think should exist, then Wallpusher is the place to look.

The interns assist in several tasks at Wallpusher that will teach them the more refined elements of wood and leather working including preparation of the wood or leather, basic cutting and sanding, shaping with dies, etc. On-site, interns work with the master woodworker or leatherworker on prototypes, assist with the setup

and dismantle of projects; create designs, and complete tasks as assigned.

Our guitar straps have gone INTERNATIONAL!! Just recently, they were reviewed by Guitar Wink, where he described their innovative function and the ease with which they can help the player to change the height of the instument effortlessly!!

Just so you remember, these straps are featured TODAY on Etsy, so if you have a minute, we’d love it if you could go and heart our guitar straps, tell you friends, or order one.

So how do they work?

Wallpusher adjustable straps have been designed to solve a single problem inherent in every other strap they’ve used: the ability to vary the

height of the instrument up AND down during a musical performance. Sometimes a certain section demands more technical work and we would like the instrument to be higher on the body while other times we like the instruments to rest lower and more relaxed. The guitar straps Wallpusher has designed function QUICKLY and EASILY to allow a player to raise or lower the instrument almost instantaneously.

They’re so basic and easy to use!!

So how do we make them?

Depending on the type, we make sewn, riveted and chain mail models, the construction could take anywhere from 8 hours to 24. The sewn straps are made on our refurbished Singer 3115. A leather sewer from the 1800s, we refinished it with gold leaf and tractor paint and now it is used by several interns and employees to create the straps.

Of course the first step is to choose the leather, which is tricky because it has to be stretchy, but not so much that it’ll fall off the guitar, and tight, but soft enough to be comfortable. Once the leather is chosen at the local store, or reclaimed from recycled goods, it is cut with dies made custom out of cast iron to make the shapes necessary for the strap.

Determining the perfect functional components of the strap took years, but now that we have the size of the rings, the type of material, and other factors under our belts, we have to sew!

Rivets are best hammered together on an anvil, and the chainmail is made by hand from recycled metal.

AMAZING SALE: 50% off our Guitar Straps!!

Where does guitar wood come from?
Historically, there’s been a lot of debate about what types of wood are best for resonance, which woods “sustain” sound better or if making instruments from different woods make different types of sounds.
Companies that now mass produce guitars frequently use plywood, which is wood chips held together with glue- no wonder your mass produced guitar is so heavy! Look out for back problems!!

SO what are handmade Wallpushers made of? We use RECYCLED hardwoods that have traditionally been used by guitarists for centuries, from wood that was previously furniture, houses, church pews, and more!

Little did you know that the wood that’s been cluttering up your backyard, basement or attic is prime material for guitars! We just launched a recycling site, Reuse Wood which is intended to help people find a home for their wood with Wallpusher. If you have a friend that pays DUMPSTER FEES monthly to dispose of their extra wood, do them a favor and send them to us, we’d love to turn their wood into guitars!

This post is about some Locust wood given to us by a recycler, Thank you!This is some wood given to us by a friend that has no sign of water damage or rot. Here is the wood before jointing…you can see that it is unique in that it splits straight, and is therefore the wood of choice that guitar makers have used to make guitar parts for centuries
This is a jointer, a machine that gives the wood a 90 degree flat edge

here is the wood after being jointed, or flattened. Gorgeous!!
Now it’s ready to be stored in a humidity controlled environment and stabilize for guitar making!

Thanks for recycling wood with us! ###linkharvest###

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

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!!
