Shock wave 425 gshop special custom

Well,the wait is nearly over , for all your fans off the Gshop  and guitar players.

After our entail start off doing replica guitars, we have  now moved on from what we have learnt and what feedback we have had from you ( Grass Hoppers) That is what Gshop buyers  are called.( Not made up by us but by the fans off Gshop.)

Anyway i digress, after all the replica guitars we have sold and all the contact we have and feedback we have had from you lot we have come up with the guitar that will suit the rocker to the roller to the beginner.

We have designed a guitar not only looks great but feels and reacts like you would want your prize axe to act.

The balance on this guitar is amazing, the cut away body makes it easy to reach those high notes for those Solo’s and the low style set up off the guitar makes it easy to play.

We have put in the custom pick up’s we had designed for when we were doing the Synyster  Gates , Avenged Sevenfold replica guitars which we were doing (NOT ANY MORE THOUGH AFTER WE GOT SERVED BY A LAWYER) Slap on the wrist to us.

So the custom pick’s we had designed and made and put in give it that meaty sound but at the same time picking the high sensitive end off your playing too.

Any ways by the by now this guitar is brilliant and we will be having a full review off its sound and how it plays, when we let our very own expert and legend , who also helped design his and our ultimate guitar after his years off being at the top off his game  Jordan do his review.

So keep an eye out for that full review on the new GSHOP Special Custom 425 Shock wave.

We  still have a bit of away to go as you will see from the pictures, this is just the prototype , the finished Custom model and standard model will come in a limited  Design model  too with a shock wave design on the body and headstock, ( THERE WILL ONLY BE 100 OF THESE WORLDWIDE AVAILABLE)

Well good afternoon from Gshop Gustblocker headquarters , we are very busy at the moment getting ready for our photo shot later in the day , with 2  new very exciting Ghost Gustblocker design’s  to come out off our sample room.

The first jacket to come out is  Gshop Gustblocker Varsity jacket that are very popular at the moment , but the varsity jacket has been given the Gshop Gustblocker treatment. so it has all the benefits that you would expect from a Gshop Gustblocker , it is light Weight , it can easily folded scrunched away, it is easy to carry , it looks very fucking cool and it should not cost you more the 25 (pound) if you can manage to get one before the first lot released to the market are all gone.

This jacket idea came from a Barry Drinkwater who runs Global Merchandicing Services, who handle a lot off the big names in the music Biz Music Merchandicing, Such as Alice Cooper, Motorhead, Slayer, Anvil, Slash, and many more but his firm, also handle and deal with winners and hopefuls from the UK, Simon Cowell, inspired shoe X Factor.

Well, this jacket we were asked to make a sample up for JLS, to see if we could fit it into their Music Merchandise range, WE WILL WAIT AND SEE IF THIS HAPPENS, so stay tuned to see if soon if  it  will be available  the JLS, Gshop Gustblocker , Varsity Jcaket.

The jacket we ended up doing is a Varisity jacket was a one off  , it is the Ghsop Gustblocker Varsity Jacket, it has the G on the left hand side , the Gustblocker name on the right breast, and on the right hand arm the number 11, this is for the year, that Gshop Gustblocker blocker first came to the market place and revolutionized the  music Merchandise market as it was known , with out envision in design and using a product for a jacket that should not off been used for jacket , and design the 2011 wind cheater.

PHOTOS OFF THIS JACKET WILL FEATURE IN A LATER BLOG SO CHECK OUT ALL OUR RECENT BLOGS.

The next jacket is just a head off the market and combing 2 looks , it is the Gshop Gustblocker, Bi-varsity jacket.

This combines the Bikers jacket with Varsity look hence the name Bi-varsity jacket.

But we took the design one step further by adding some extra’s the lapels are keprt down by buckles , it is alos slightly longer in the body then our standrd Bikers jacket, but other then that has all the features of the bikers jacket.

We have since showed this design to let say a very very famous successful rock  theatrical rock band from the USA have asked up to make the jacket in black with one red sleeve and to place their logo on the jacket and too use it in their World tour Merchandise range.

So we know the design is a winner and you will see it in the market place but not in these colours as this is just a prototype later in the year.

Who is the band that have asked for it , Did I say Marilyn M….N, I hope i did not let that SLIP KNOT like that anyway, otherwise I will feel quite like a ZOMBIE and that i could MURDER DOLLS if i let slip who it is for, you will just have to wait and see and come back to this blog for any up date.

Also come back to this blog for the pictures off the new BI VARSITY jacket that inspired the said band to want the jacket for their own world tour merchandise.

Check out the pictures they will be up soon.

well here we are again on Gshop Gustblocker news:

We have been busy and we feel very happy with what we have achieved over the past couple off weeks, but not only what we have achieved but also what is new and coming up for Gshop Gustblockers.

We are fortunate that we are able to bring you the FLIPP bomber Gshop Gustblocker jacket.

Flipp have been one of our favourite bands of recent times even though they are not playing together right now, that is not that they have called it a day but they have just gone in differnt directions for the time being.

Well here at gshop we were very intrested to see if we could get FLIPP on board and endorse one off our Gshop Gustblocker jackets for us.

So we first went on to their web site FLIPP central, and found out some contact details on there for Cii (Who now is graphic artist, and does a lot of graphics art,for album covers, most recently for Dolly Parton, and Ziggy Marley) Not only that but he designed the FLIPP logos and was the rhythm guitarist and other instruments in FLIPP.

well anyway we e mailed him some designs off what we had done and said that we would love to have FLIPP on board. He then passed on  our details on to Brynn Arens his brother who is the laed singer and lead guitarist in the band.

Brynn dropped me an e and asked  me to give him a call to dicuss, which is what i done at the first oppotunity.

we said what we would like to do and not only did we get the opportunity to design a Gshop Gustblocker jacket for them but we are doing a whole range of merchandice for FLIPP fans which we are working on and will be out in the next couple off months.SO KEEP AN EYE ON OUR BLOG.

We will have in that range a miniature guitar like Brynn use to play in Flipp ,Miniature Drum kit like Kilo use to play, and also a full scale working electric guitar like Brynn,s limited to only 100 guitars worldwide called the Autograph series, each individually numbered , and COA, with it and personally signed by Brynn in person.( no copies here the real thing)

If you would like further details on the Autograph series guitar , drop us an e gcontraband@yahoo.com and we will tell you how you can reserve yours.

We will be getting Jordan Gshop’s guiatr tech to review as soon the proptetype is finished.

So keep an eye our for our Flipp  merch.

Getting back to the Flipp Gshop Gustblocker, Great jacket designed in abomber jacket style, has 2 zip side pockets to put your hands in or stuff, has the same sleeve design as the bikers and bondage jacket with  zipp up cuff’s to keep those drafts out, and adjustable side clips to tighten the jacket if need be.

But to make a real FLIPP jacket we have on the right hand breast the original FLIPP logo, the FLIPP finger, and on the back the newer logo taken from the Volume album .

This is great jacket for all you FLIPPheads.

But not only is aFLIPP jacket but it is Gshop Gustblocker jacket so you get all the benefits that you get with Gustblocker , it is very light, it is wind resistant , it water resistant, it is brilliantly designed, and it is value for money. Remember you should not be paying over 25.00 pounds for gshop gustblocker, if some one is trying to ask more for Gshop gustblocker, FLIPP them the finger and e us and we will sort one out for you gcontraband@yahoo.com

We would like to thank for the FLIPP Gshop Gustblocker photo session.

We  are back , and back hot on the trail of what is new in Gustblocker world.

As you can see from the slide show up above our jackets just keep on getting better and better.

This sample we were asked to make for the world wide famous Global merchandising services, who handle some impress names on their books of such acts as Alice Cooper Anvil ,Motorhead Slayer and many more Heavy metal rock bands, but also they handle some off the acts that get through on the X factor UK show (Another Simon Cowell show), such as JLS, (Check out later in another one off our blogs our story about JLS) and others and to honest that we have never heard of.

Any way Global Merchandising Services is owned and run by Barry Drinkwater, who use to be the owner of Bravado Merchadicing servises, who also do rock/ music merchandising, but sold the company in 2002(i think that year is correct) to Sanctuary for sum off  over $15,000,000( No small change) anyway we digress they  made contact , well Barry Drinkwater did in the first place after they saw some pictures and some information on our jackets off our sample’s  that we had in our range, well they got in touch and wanted to see if we could do a sample for them.

So one thing lead to another, and they asked us if we could do a jacket that  may be used for the Judas Priest Farewell tour Epitaph merchandising range.

As you can see from the slide show up above  the sample  speaks  for themselves it came out brilliantly.

We got at great expense one of the top Teen models of the moment(Brad Milward) to do the photo session, we were so impressed that we used him for some other photo sessions to model some other world famous band jackets in our range.(See later blogs)

Anyway the sample has been made and photo session has been done and we wait to here if Jayne Andrews ( Judas Priest spoke person) will pick the jacket as a merchandise piece for the end off the their  world tour.

But you will be happy to hear that we have had inquiry from the music world with regards  to our  jackets, our bondage jacket that was featured in the last blog, well we approached none other  then an American very famous band that have been going over 30 years to see if they would be interested in giving us a license  to use their name and to sell jackets with their brand on..

Well within 24 hours i had an e mail from the, bass player and founding member off  the group saying to get in touch, so i did and on the Monday morning i spoke to him in California ,. And he was telling me what great design the jacket was and that all the band loved and that it was what was needed in music merchandising market place at the level we can get our jackets out at , It would be a huge seller and kids and fans would love a jacket at around the $20 mark (Bargain) not only what the price region is but the design too.HEAD SWELL

We have put into production 2 colorways in this unique and great guitar. 

 

This guitar has a great feel to it not only in weight and the slim neck but down to the Gshop Specil custom pick up’s that we have put in it, it has great sound reproduction.

 

Quote From our Guitar Tech Jordon.

 

“I have never been a fan of the flying V style of guitar, but once I tried out this Randy Rhoads V, i am convert, and now have included one in my guitar range and is my guitar of the moment.

 

It reacts and feels great ,like i  can throw the thing around, it is great gig guitar”

 

Thanks  Jordan  

 

we are also doing it in Virgin White, the guitar is completely, white other then the fret board in Rosewood and with the shark fin inlays in Mother Of Pearl and also all the accessories on the guitar are in gold to complement it.

Here are some fact’s about the legend himself, Mr R. Rhoads.

 

Born in 1956 Died 1982(26 Years old)

 

started Playing guitar 6, heavily influenced by Classical music.

 

joined Quiet Riot when only 16

 

When auditioned for Ozzy Osbourne, he had just finished his warm up , and ozzy said he had the job.

 

Quote by Ozzy when he saw Randy play “God entered my life”

 

The reason he died was that he took a plane ride ( He was of nervous of flying as it was) but agreed to go on the joy flight as the dresser/hairdresser said she would go on the flight with him, and the pilot said he would not  do anything to risky, as she the dresser  had a heart condition( How wrong was he).

 

 The only reason agreed to get on the plane was he wanted to take an aerial photo( Photography was a passion of his)

 

when the plane crashed after buzzing the tour bus for the third time , the plane wing clipped the roof of the bus and sent the plane crashing end over end, and ened up crashed into a garage off one of the house near by.

 

The plane burst into flames( Randy died instanly) and all three bodys were burnt beyond reconistion.

 

At the time off the crash Randy had discussed about laeving the band to pursue a degree.

 

And also he was just getting the recognition he deserved, with sponsor ship deal from Jackson, and even though Randy got 2 of the V guitars ( one Black and one White) he was not alive to see them go into production.

 

R.I.P Randy

 

Well we  are getting the ROCK  out of here now.
