Construction
Why 1:2 scale? Because it’s the sweet spot scale for detail, handling, material costs and “playability”. It’s the perfect size to display as a decorative element and rock along to your favorite metal band.
The body and neck were made from maple. The guitar has a 3 piece body with a set in neck. Everything is made by hand, no CNC involved. The Inlay on the 12th fret is made from sheet brass. The fine details on the front and back of the guitar were all carved by hand with an exacto knife.
Pursuit Of
Liten Vikings
Like with every tiny guitar we make, we also made a tiny music video. This time it was a cover version of “The Pursuit of Vikings” by swedish melodic death metal band Amon Amarth.
Unboxing of
the Century
The guitar was made as a surprise gift for Ola Englund who filmed the unpacking and made it a part in his Sunday with Ola #101 Youtube video. Seeing his reaction when he saw the Liten Viking for the first time, is absolutly priceless.
"Will it chug?"
"That is the most evil ukulele I’ve ever seen."
"I am blown away by the mini guitar from Multi Awesome Studio! What a remarkable craftsman. Daniel is a beast!"
"100000000000% absolutely totally awesomely amazingly smoking gorgeous guitar there."
"Dude I expected the mini to be the real one!"
"Would be hilarious if a whole death metal band came onstage with tiny instruments and ripped."
"What she gets vs. what she wants"
