Review: 43031 Olivia Rodrigo's Dual Guitar

Posted by ,

The largest and potentially most eye-catching set in the new Olivia Rodrigo Editions subtheme is 43031 Olivia Rodrigo's Dual Guitar, a half-a-metre tall dual-personality guitar with two minifigures and some hidden interiors waiting to be revealed.

The set combines two very different guitars into one unusual display piece. The result is a striking model that combines many references to the singer's musical career with some surprisingly clever construction techniques for a fun build.

Summary

43031 Olivia Rodrigo's Dual Guitar, 1,228 pieces.
£109.99 / $119.99 / €119.99 | 9.0p, 9.8c, 9.8c per piece.
Buy at LEGO.com »

A striking display model that combines two different guitars very effectively, with plenty for Olivia Rodrigo fans to love.

  • Excellent acoustic guitar shape
  • Two detailed minifigures
  • Simple but clever opening interiors
  • A lot of stickers!

The set was provided for review by LEGO. All opinions expressed are those of the author.

Minifigures

The set contains not one but two Olivia Rodrigo minifigures, from two distinct performances. The first is wearing a sparkly red dress from her GUTS World Tour, silver tights adorned with stars, and black boots. The dress is very detailed, covered in white sparkles front and back. Her hair falls over one shoulder, and both expressions have her customary red lipstick. On one side, her mouth is open in a wide closed-eyed smile, but she's pulling an excellent expression on the other—one eye winking and a tongue sticking out.



The second minfigure takes inspiration from Olivia's 2025 appearance at Glastonbury, wearing a white corseted dress with a wide skirt. I am never a particular fan of these skirt pieces, as they weaken the minfigure's connection at the waist, and the real outfit's skirt is a lot more textured and lacy than is captured here. The detailing on the corset is excellent, though.

Her hair hangs straight down her back, and one facial expression is the same as above. The other shows a more serious face.

They both come holding a guitar—Glastonbury Olivia with a regular acoustic, and GUTS Olivia with a custom red electric printed with her OR butterfly logo, stars, and a heart.

This brings the count of unique Olivia Rodrigo minifigures to five, a fairly impressive number for an initial release! All of them have been excellently detailed, and I am sure a lot of input from the artist herself went into their designs.

A fairly substantial sticker sheet is included, ranging from large panel stickers to smaller detailed ones. There are 13 just to spell out her name alone!

Guitars

Just as there are two minifigures in the set, there are two guitars… sort of. My first thought when I saw the name "dual guitar" was of a double-neck guitar, but that's not what this is! Instead, the designers have produced a single guitar with the body design split vertically in half between two very different styles.

The first half is a purple acoustic guitar. The body's built sideways, and starts off as a box with a small hidden mechanism you'll see later, before the curves are added. The half sound hole is formed from a couple of large arches.

On the inside of the guitar, facing the other half to come, a sticker on a black door denotes the entrance to Olivia's dressing room. The door doesn't open, unfortunately, but there is another way into the room!

Turning the black knob on the front of the guitar pushes the entire dressing room out the side, detaching part of the body to do so. It's cleverly hidden and satisfying to operate.

The dressing room itself is a small build that consists of a blue chair (next to which stands Olivia's iconic red megaphone), in front of a mirror surrounded by bulbs. Her red lipstick stands on the counter, along with a couple of notebooks, and some photos are pegged to the wall. Only the red-dress Olivia can sit in the chair, however—the white skirt element prevents the other from sitting down.

The mechanism is simply a small square of thin Technic beams and axles directly connected to the knob, that pushes the dressing room out when turned.

The neck is attached first—a solid internal construction with lots of SNOT bricks, it's curved on the sides and uses large flat panels with stickers for the fretboard.

Sliding in behind the sound hole, it's securely connected both inside the body and at the base of the neck.

The sound hole isn't left as an actual hole, but filled in with black plates and two curved white tiles, which look very effective.

The remaining shaping of this half of the body is completed and attached via a couple of clips. A small black handle recessed into the curves provides a point to grab and pull…

…revealing a storage compartment! There's nothing hidden in here, so I presume it's for whatever you wish to store, though the space is pretty limited once the door is closed.

The completed body shape looks excellent—incredibly faithful to the shape of a real acoustic guitar.

The second half of the guitar is very different from the first! This one is based on the singer's custom purple Music Man St. Vincent Goldie which she has used during many live performances. It's shaping is much more angular, and as an electric guitar there is no sound hole—instead, three gold pickups sit adjacent to the acoustic guitar half. Three grey control knobs are attached, and a printed piece with Olivia's signature sits near the bottom.

The two halves are attached together at the rear using two large black Technic pins, one near the top and one near the bottom, and held securely in place with a number of curved bows.

Whereas the interior of the acoustic guitar is mostly empty space, with room for the dressing room to slide out or to be used as storage, the electric guitar is very different! The entire half is built to hinge in two places along the outer edge, and can be opened from the front by sliding sideways away from the centre of the guitar. As the guitar half is attached only at the rear (and a pin at the bottom centre), the whole thing folds out to reveal two performance stages in front of large speaker arrays.

Both stages have room for a minifigure to stand. The top one is purple-themed, featuring space-related backdrops and purple lighting.

The lower one is red, with the stickered backdrops showing large stylised portraits of Olivia doing the winking expression from the first minifigure.

The two Olivia minifigures can stand on their respective stages holding their guitars, and the model can even be closed with them in this position.

The only niggle with this setup is the tendnacy for the single pin at the bottom to lift slightly as the half is opened, preventing it from shutting cleanly until you press it back in.

When connected together and pushed shut (held closed by just two studs), the whole guitar looks very effective—the two halves work surprisingly well together, despite their distinct styles.

The headstock is built and attached next—once again, in the same split design as the rest of the guitar. The acoustic half is black and curved, whereas the electric is purple and more angular. They both have three grey tuning pegs each. The head itself is attached to the top of the neck with a pair of axles.

It's starting to look like a complete guitar now! Finally, six strings are connected together at each end, and then clipped in place beneath the head and above the bridge. It's a shame the strings don't extend all the way to the tuning pegs, but that would have meant at least three different lengths of string and complicated the design significantly.

The bridge is similarly built in two halves—curved and brown with white pegs for the acoustic half, and black with gold for the electric. The whole bridge and strings are only attached to the acoustic side of the guitar, so stay in place when the electric half is opened.

With the guitar complete, the accessories are attached! Various studs on the front of the guitar are covered with gems, and a small brick built butterfly is attached to the top left—after all, this wouldn't be an Olivia Rodrigo set without a butterfly, would it?

But it is not the only butterfly—a large one sits lower on the guitar, attached to the point where the hidden dressing room slides out. I think the design of the smaller butterfly is more effective, however.

On the electric side of the guitar, blue, red, and purple stars project from the top right corner, and Olivia's name (spelt with stickers on various coloured tiles) is attached to a pair of arms angled out from the side.

The stars are cleverly attached to a single point on the rear of the guitar, and the name signs use a ball joint each, and can be angled as you wish.

Lastly, a small heart, pierced with an arrow and decorated with Olivia's "OR" butterfly emblem, is attached to the side of the neck about half way up.

The various elements add a lot more interest to the guitar, elevating it from a simple model of a instrument—albeit a very unusual one—to an eye-catching Olivia Rodrigo display piece.

With everything in place, the performance stage inside the electric half can still be opened without issue, although it does then hide the artist's name. The dressing room, however, is somewhat obscured by the large butterfly unless it is fully removed.

The completed guitar, adorned with all its decorative elements, is an impressive display piece, standing at 50cm tall.

Verdict

The most expensive and largest of the five Olivia Rodrigo sets, this is also one of the most impressive models, both in terms of visual impact and its construction. It was a really fun build, and both halves have such a unique and distinct feel to them. You'll need a relatively tall space to display it, but when you do find somewhere, it will look excellent and certainly be a talking point for guests—and, of course, you'll likely need to also be an Olivia Rodrigo fan in the first place. The two halves of the guitar provide a neat way to represent the two different sides of Olivia's musical identity—from the traditional, organic, acoustic music to the more edgy electric performances.

Olivia Rodrigo aside, this is one of the best guitar models I've seen from LEGO. I particularly like the acoustic guitar's shaping, and would love to see a full instrument in that style—it wouldn't be difficult to flip and replicate the design. I'd also like other colours—despite reviewing five Olivia Rodrigo sets, purple is one of my least favourite colours!

With this review wrapping up the new subtheme within the Editions line, I'm intrigued to see where LEGO takes this next. Previously focusing on sport and racing, as LEGO themselves call out on the theme's About page still even at the time of writing, the scope for music-themed sets with tie-ins with other artists is huge, particularly if they don't limit themselves to current pop superstars! Who would you like to see a line of sets in this style dedicated to?

43031 Olivia Rodrigo's Dual Guitar is available at LEGO.com for £109.99 / $119.99 / €119.99.

I’m a self-confessed Olivi Rodrigo fan and also a massive Massive fan of LEGO, so the release of these sets has been so unexpected but another dream come true for me, and in the space of one year with Star Trek and X-Files sets coming out too. Such a great time to be alive.

I gotta admit, I've never heard of Olivia Rodrigo. Guess I'm not one of those "cool kids"....

also, what is a guitar? guess i must be living under a rock. and this "music" thing everyone is going on about? some of us just don't follow trends. in fact, what the hell is lego? seems fake. the hell am i typing on, an IPHONE? sheesh they just make stuff up these days. and am i the only one who doesn't know where they are? for real i've been wandering for days and i'm starting to get pretty hungry

Still not a fan of her (and that won't likely ever change....), but I have to admit I do like this set a lot more than when I first saw pictures of it. Granted, it's certainly not the best value set of the bunch, and all those stickerss particularly for her name are a nuisance, but other than that, I quite like it!

Now similar sets for more interesting artists please!

It's a very fun set, but why would they bother making two separate heads if they both have the same alternate expression???

Gravatar
By in Netherlands,

They did quite well with this. I like some of the parts too, like the gold strings.

That said... the two figures really puts into focus why this subtheme-like bunch of sets feels a bit weird. It's all about one artist. The models are diverse, but the minifigs feel a bit... like a stretch? Two of the same artist feels like they knew it would be a bit little to give only one character for the set again... but it's Olivia Rodriguez, so you just get two of her. At least the outfits are different and I guess they correspond to the two guitars. But I wonder if Olivia Rodriguez fans would be up for collecting the various outfits she wore. Would that be a thing? I'm curious.

Back to the set itself though, I really appreciate the compartments and pop-out scenes here. These display objects can be very boring, so those at least give them some functionality. If I were to make a giant guitar myself I would also cram it full of hidden rooms and stuff if I could.

Can't say I love Olivia's music, but she seems like a nice person, and one who's committed to music as an art rather than just making it big in the pop industry.

I'm still a bit confused as to why they made five sets (some felt a bit repetitive), but I'm happy for all the fans who enjoyed them! And of course all the purple recolors and minifigs are a pretty big bonus XD

I have been trying very hard not to let this be my favourite and I really don’t WANT it to be my favourite (big! expensive! so! many! stickers!)… But I think it’s my favourite. It’s got the most Vidiyo in its vibe, I love the double guitar concept, the minifigs are really cute, I always like it when there’s little hidden easter eggs and compartments… it has it all.

Goddammit.

Great design and cool to see that all the Brickset members have finally caught up with who Olivia Rodrigo is. Only takes five LEGO sets... ;-)

I'm wondering if this is the first time a minifig of a real-life personality appears in a LEGO set in two distinct versions. I guess there are some MCU sets, but other than that...?

a couple of years ago @capnrex101 did an analysis of all the real life people who had minifigs made; mostly actors on the list, although not specifically limited to MCU. I think Warwick Davis may have been one of those in the top spot...?

Excellent review @benbacardi and what a clever and fun design. :o)

I was a little taken aback by there being 4 OR sets but this one and 43030 Secret Storage are so well done and probably my favorites of the Editions theme. I'm interested to see how this theme moves forward.

I'm not super familiar with Olivia Rodrigo or her music, but for that reason I greatly appreciate these reviews going into such detail about which of her albums, concert appearances, guitars, etc. the different elements of these sets reference! Really gives me a better appreciation for how thoughtful these set designs are, even beyond their creative functions and charming pop-rock aesthetics.

To me this is the weakest of the Olivia Rodrigo sets, particularly the minifigs. They're far from bad of course, just not as awesome as the other ones imho. Then again I just see them for their reusability, not as a fan. Also the value for money to me feels worse than on some of the other sets in the line.

What I would find awesome would be a CMF series of famous musicians in their special outfits. Queen, KISS, Elton John, Tina Turner, Michael Jackson, to name but a few.
Oh and of course the best of them all, Weird Al Yankovic!

Tom Waits, Florence + The Machine, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, the Wu-Tang Clan. I've made peace with the fact that that's not going to happen, and the closest thing I'll ever get to a Nick Cave minifigure is https://brickset.com/minifigs/sh0856.

I've been making Lorna Shore and Whitechapel jokes for weeks now, but legitimately if LEGO ever somehow produced any of Demon Hunter's album art as an Art set (they never would) I would gladly pay big bucks for that.

Thanks for reviewing the whole series, @benbacardi !

I'm relieved to see that the crotchetiest AFOLs appear to have finally worn themselves out in the comment sections of the previous four sets - the posts on this review have been refreshingly normal :)

Inspired by their example, I'm going to try an experiment to see how other portions of the fandom respond to random people proudly proclaiming ignorance in the comments: "I've never heard of Koenigsegg Sadair or his Spear Megacar!" "What even is an Imperial Remnant AT-AT? Or an INT-4? Sounds fake!" etc.

I did not know who Sadair was or why we should care about his spear. A cursory Google-search teaches me that it was a horse. A horse with a spear! And this is is why Googling things is important. It teaches you who people and/or horses are, and what their preferred fighting-style is. For Sadair, that would be spear-fighting, and possibly hoofing people to death.

For Olivia Rodrigo, her fighting-style may or may not revolve around combat-boots. So I want to say... possibly also hoofing people to death?

I considered making a joke about how that was also not a celebrity they should’ve made a minifig of but I feel someone would notice it isn’t the Leto version.

The resemblance is uncanny though.

I haven’t forgiven him yet for the Bob video missing a trick.

(And, look, I understand it was to emphasise the palindrome aspect, but I’m personally offended that almost none of the parodies of the original use the intentional mistakes and doodles and such, which are the best bit, and I’m not letting Weird Al off just because he had more of an excuse than most of them.)

He's the best ... well, perhaps not technically the best, but arguably the most famous accordion player in an extremely specific genre of music! (If you don't get the reference, then you *need* to see "Weird: The Al Yankovic Story")

"Great design and cool to see that all the Brickset members have finally caught up with who Olivia Rodrigo is. Only takes five LEGO sets... ;-)

I'm wondering if this is the first time a minifig of a real-life personality appears in a LEGO set in two distinct versions. I guess there are some MCU sets, but other than that...?"


Leonardo da Vinci technically has two minifigures, although https://brickset.com/minifigs/gen198/leonardo-da-vinci-black-beret-neck-bracket and https://brickset.com/minifigs/twn518/leonardo-da-vinci are only distinguished by what's on top of their heads and the fact that the first one has a neck bracket.

I love this set so much! Since it’s the priciest of the sets, I’ve asked my husband to get it for my birthday in a couple months.

Any kind of Queen LEGO set would be "shut up and take my money" for sure.
As for this set, now I have another printed guitar I need to somehow acquire (its going to cost a fortune on BrickLink and will never be on PaB)
