Description
The Backwing™ has been part of Baum since 2016, making it one of our longest-running designs. Inspired by the spirit of classic rock 'n' roll guitars, it brings together bold offset curves, vintage character and a distinctly Baum identity.
Now, for the first time, we're bringing that same design and idea into the VEGA Series, making it more accessible to players around the world.
The Backwing VEGA features a lightweight mahogany body, paired with a satin-finished roasted maple neck and a 12" radius rosewood fretboard. It's a familiar combination that delivers warm resonance, comfortable playability and a natural feel, whether you're playing rhythm, lead or somewhere in between.
At the heart of the Backwing are two Goldsound® Ember™ P90 pickups.
Built with Alnico V magnets, they capture the raw character of classic P90s with a clear, dynamic response and plenty of midrange punch. The bridge pickup brings bite and definition for crunchy riffs and driven rock tones, while the neck offers a warmer, fuller voice for bluesy leads, expressive melodies and rich cleans.
It's a combination that gives the Backwing plenty of room to explore. From vintage blues and classic rock to indie and alternative, it can sound smooth and soulful one moment, gritty and loud the next.
Baum Performer™ hardware keeps things simple and reliable, with the familiar feel and tuning stability you'd expect from a guitar made for regular playing.
The VEGA Series follows a simple idea: take everything we've learned from our Custom Shop and Original Series and bring it into a more accessible instrument. By making production simpler and more efficient, we can keep our focus on the things that matter most: design, feel, sound and quality.
Nearly a decade after its introduction, the Backwing is still unmistakably Baum. Now there's a new way to make it yours.
A Baum original since 2016. Now as VEGA.

BAUM QUALITY CONTROL
Every Baum goes through several quality control points. The final step happens in our Danish Custom Shop where each instrument is personally inspected and tested by our guitar tech team of professional musicians. We’re very picky and go over every detail and part.
Our process:
-
Delivery inspection: Each guitar is unpacked, examined, and approved for build quality and finish.
-
Hardware & electronics: Each instrument gets the Baum Premium Set-up. Read more about that.
-
Performance test: Finally, our set-up team play and fine-tune the guitar to ensure it meets Baum’s tone and feel standards.
Nothing leaves our hands until it matches our quality for how it plays, sounds, and looks.
BAUM SETUP
Every Baum is refined by hand in Denmark by our guitar tech setup team of professional musicians. Our guitar techs inspect, adjust, and play test each guitar to bring out the best of each as they know what it takes to be a performer.
-
Frets & fret ends – crowned and smoothed by hand.
-
Nut setup – inspected and cut for the optimal height and zero friction.
-
Truss rod & action – fine-tuned for the best playability.
-
Pickup height & intonation – dialed in for balanced tones and precise intonation across the neck.
-
Hardware – tested and tightened for lasting reliability.
-
Strings – we trust D’addario 10-46. Strings are replaced if needed for a fresh, consistent feel.
-
Final inspection & polish – every curve checked, every detail cleaned.
-
Play test – every Baum is played by our luthiers before shipping.
Stage-ready the moment you plug it in.

With its slim, lightweight mahogany body and comfortable feel, the Backwing is made for long nights on stage, gritty riffs and everything in between. Loaded with our Goldsound® Ember™ P90 pickups, it delivers rich midrange growl, dynamic response and plenty of bite when you turn things up.
Classic roots. Modern attitude. All rock 'n' roll.
Designed in Denmark with carefully selected materials, thoughtful details and the same commitment to quality that has shaped every Baum since day one.
Baum pickups
Goldsound® Ember P90
Our Baum Goldsound® Ember™ P90 pickups capture the raw character and punch that make P90s legendary. Built with Alnico V magnets, they deliver that characteristic midrange growl and a clear, dynamic voice that stays articulate even when pushed hard. A perfect match for the Backwing's rock 'n' roll spirit.
The bridge pickup brings bite, punch and rich midrange presence, ready to push your amp into natural overdrive with plenty of attitude. The neck pickup adds a fat, open tone with warmth and character, whether you're playing smooth blues, gritty riffs or something in between.
From sweet cleans to dirty rock 'n' roll, the Backwing is ready for whatever you throw at it.

Good to know
Questions before you order?
Straight answers about preorders, payment, delivery and the home trial.
When will my guitar ship?
Look at the purchase option above the Add to cart button. In stock guitars leave Aarhus within 1-4 business days. Preorder guitars are built in a limited batch and ship in the month shown, after our team has set up and play-tested every guitar in that batch.
Preorder months are our best estimate. You can follow your batch on the production updates page, and we email you if the date moves.
Do I pay now for a preorder?
Yes. A preorder is paid when you place the order, which reserves your guitar in the batch. If you prefer to spread it out, choose Partial.ly at checkout: a down payment today and the rest in monthly instalments, all paid before the guitar ships. The exact down payment for your currency is shown on this page.
What is in the box?
This bundle ships with the Baum Deluxe Gigbag (sold on its own for €159) and a full setup by hand in Aarhus. During Black Deals '26, selected VEGA guitars also come with the Ellipse studio headphones (worth €399) or a Baum Original Strap. The box under the price shows exactly what is in the bundle for this guitar.
How does the 45 days home trial work?
We call it Try At Home. Play the guitar with your own amp, pedals and songs for 45 days. If it is not the right fit, contact us and we help arrange the return. The full terms are on the Try At Home page.
Are taxes and import duties included?
Yes. The price you see includes VAT and import duties for the countries we ship to, so there are no surprise fees when the courier arrives. Details are on the tax and import page.
Is the guitar set up before it ships?
Always. Every guitar is inspected, set up and play-tested by our team in Aarhus, Denmark. We check the fretwork, adjust the action and intonation, and make sure it feels right before it goes in the gigbag.
What is the difference between In stock, Preorder and B-Stock?
In stock: ready in Aarhus, ships in 1-4 business days.
Preorder: reserved from the next production batch, ships in the month shown.
B-Stock: a guitar with small cosmetic marks, fully set up and play-tested, usually at a lower price.
Every option gets the same setup and the same 45 days home trial.
