Wallpusher

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!

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###
