Expected ready to ship: October 2026

Heads up — timeline updated

September 2026 October 2026

Good news! The guitars arrived 11 September, so we are currently working our way through the Quality Control and set-up.

We're working as fast as we can, but this is a step that we do not want to rush. Most orders are already shipped and we'll wrap up the final preorders in October.

Orders are shipped continuously as we approve them in the QC.

Orders are shipped according to their order date, so oldest orders are shipped first.

Due to the shipping delays to our workshop, we expect to ship orders throughout September and October.

Taking Shape: CNC & Luthier Refinement

The body and neck are taking shape. Machines cut the precision, then skilled luthiers take over by hand. Your guitar is becoming recognisably a Baum.
