Vivian Xiao used sharpies in order to create the designs for this incredibly detailed guitar. With art inspired by the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Vivian has covered this musical instrument on the back and front with wonderful designs. It even contains elvish writing and elvish-inspired designs on the back which can be found throughout the saga's movies, books and merchandise.
The guitar looks entirely glorious and is worthy of strumming along with the most epic tales of adventure. Hobbits would be glad to have something as wonderful as this to sing songs of dragons and elves. This is why this crossover by Vivian Xiao is entirely appropriate. As the Lord of the Rings is full of music and lyrics, this was a natural transition.
