Z18 Shipping Update – 12 November 2026

Production complete. Guitars collected from factory – awaiting flight departure confirmation.

We're pleased to share another step forward for our Z18 batch!

All guitars have now been collected from our production partner, and our logistics partner is currently working on securing air freight to Denmark.

Unfortunately, freight capacity out of Asia remains under significant pressure ahead of the holiday season. Our logistics partner is doing everything possible to secure the earliest available flight and provide us with a confirmed departure date as soon as possible.

Current status:

  • Production: Completed
  • Factory pickup: Completed
  • Air freight: Flight booking in progress
  • Departure from Asia: Awaiting confirmation
  • Arrival at Baum HQ: Not yet confirmed
  • Final setup & dispatch: Prioritised upon arrival

Once the guitars arrive in Denmark, our team will prioritise final quality control, professional setup and play-testing before dispatching them to customers.

While we're still unable to provide a reliable arrival date, we're making progress and are now one step closer to getting these guitars into your hands.

We'll continue updating this page every Thursday, even if there's no significant change to report.

We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding throughout this extended wait.

Built to Be Yours: Hardware & Engineering

Every tuner, bridge, and pickup on your guitar is being made from scratch. Nothing off the shelf. Here's why that matters.

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.

Colour & Character: Painting & Assembly

Your guitar is in the paint shop. Custom colour, thin lacquer, and a satin neck that feels worn-in from day one. Then it all comes together.

Passing the Test: Quality Control & Shipping
