DESIGNED IN DENMARK
A good design combines functionality with style. Design is the choice of materials and how they work together: How they create the sound, weight and durability. The tactile feeling of neck shapes and satin lacquer. How each instrument is prepared for songs in studios and stages.
The look binds everything together and is the first thing you notice, but it's the final part in a good design process.
Our partnership with manufactures is based on mutual respect, understanding and know-how. We have specified what ‘Designed in Denmark’ actually means to us in 4 stages.
Make it last, make it timeless.
TONEWOODS FOR TOURING.
Leaper Melody is crafted of premium solid Mahogany back and sides.
This gives the Leaper Stage a balanced and warm low-end, a punhcy and vocal midrange, and a rich and crisp top-end.
The solid wood offer richer resonance, better sustain, and improved sound projection - and a sound that will only become even better as the wood ages.
JUST PLUG AND PLAY.
Fishman included.
The Leaper Melody is ready for both studios and stages, as it comes with a Fishman piezo pickup installed.
The piezo is stealthily installed, delivers a crisp and true tone of your guitar, and its undersaddle placement makes it hum and feedback resistant.
Don’t worry about bringing this to the stage. It’s ready.
Resonance, Refined.
Leaper Melody features a classic scalloped X-bracing for refined resonance, warmth, and dynamic response.
The scalloped bracings allows the solid Sitka spruce top to breathe freely, delivering rich mids, improved bass depth, and greater sustain—making the 000 perfect for fingerstyle players and strummers.
It truly brings the guitar to live under your fingers.
PLAY IT ALL NIGHT.
The Leaper Melody sports our modern C profile, which is the most popular neck profile for a reason. It’s comfortable to most players and for both strumming and finger picking.
Made of mahogany with a 12″ rosewood fretboard and a satin lacquer finish.
TUNED TO PERFECTION.
The Leaper Melody features the Baum Teardrop™ headstock, tuned by our 3-per-side Acoustic Precicion Tuners 18:1 ratio open-gear tuners, a beautiful rosewood cap , and a matching trussrod cover.
It’s so beautifully functional.

This is my second Baum, the first being a 10th Anniversary Nidhogg which I love. I was concerned they’d sound and play the same meaning I would have shelled out for a special edition Backwing bass just for different looks….but nooooo, it sound soooo different, much more metallic and a sharper tone I really like. As previous, pleased with the quality and finish. Love the soft gig bag too, better IMO than the hard case I got with the Nidhogg which is heavy and marks easily.
Ready to rock with the band and put if through its paces on stage.
Pickers rule !!!
Went to the Baum site to check out the Savage series, but then I ran into the Revolt Dark burst. About Baum, there's good news and bad news. The bad: these designs are so beautiful and original, that they're hard to resist, so you’ll need to turn on the charm again and get your pitch ready to justify your next guitar. The good news: they not only look good, they "are" good. It arrived relatively quickly so no need to test my patience. Already proud owner of the Wingman, but this one even tops it! Smoother, warmer and a joy to handle. Think of it like the Wingman rocking in summer, the Revolt for chilling out on atmospheric November nights. The dark burst is a very beautiful, good guitar. Good job!
I received the guitar very quickly and had excellent communication with the BAUM team—many thanks for that! I applied a custom overlay to the pickguard, as I wanted something that better suited my band’s style. We play shoegaze, dream pop, and indie, and it fits perfectly. The guitar is very lightweight, coming in at just under 2.9 kg. The neck was slightly off-center, but I was able to correct that very quickly. Other than that, I can’t seem to put the guitar down; I play it every single day. The sound is wonderful—the P90s are full and rounded, and they respond very sensitively to my picking dynamics. Many thanks to BAUM for this fantastic instrument. I love it.
As an experienced guitarist, I've had countless guitars in my hands over the years, but the Revolt is my first Baum guitar, and I was impressed from the very first moment.
The instrument feels exceptionally well-built, plays beautifully, and sounds exactly as I had hoped: organic, woody, and incredibly versatile.
I'm particularly impressed by the P90 pickups. They have a distinctive, punchy character that really cuts through in my mixes. The tuners also provide excellent tuning stability, even during longer recording sessions.
Another highlight is the excellent communication and genuinely friendly interaction with the Baum team.
I'm already looking forward to my next Baum guitar! In the meantime, I'm sure the Revolt will inspire plenty of new songs.
The guitar plays beautifully straight out of the box, and the finish is flawless. The satin neck is gorgeous and the long scale with 12” radius is precisely what feels right in my hand. It sounds exactly how I hoped it would, warm and clear and sweetly crunchy when pushed. This is my second Baum and I’m impressed with the entire experience of ordering from them. I would absolutely recommend them as an original alternative in a marketplace where most offerings are tired, overpriced, and unimpressive.
This won’t be the last one I buy, I’m sure.
As I play guitar for over 50 years now, it happens only from time to time that you find a perfect fit. This happend with my Wingman. Love at first sight ! What a great guitar. It came in perfect condition and setup. And it sounds and plays like a dream. Covers everything I need for Blues, Fusion and Rock. I am the more light handed type of player, so I changed the string gauge from 10s to 9.5s and I even didn't need to modify anything. I could also easily lower the string height for about 1mm because I don't hit too hard. Still no buzz and still a brilliant sustain. Well done, guys ! This will be my companion from now on.
I have three Baum guitars now and I have to say, not only are they striking to look at, they are a joy to play. Wonderful tones. The staff were very helpful also. I will be doing business with them again in the future. Bryant
I've tried it with a great amp and also with some great pedal effects. But most of all, I am satisfied with what I truly crave in an instrument and that's ergonomics and the feel in my hands, Playability, frets, good vibe while I 'massage' the rosewood fingerboard, wood and resonance by itself without the amp etc. Somehow, I just trusted you guys. I guess your marketing did its job! 😄
I believed in your story, your vision, and what you're trying to offer guitar players. And honestly, that was exactly what I was looking for.
So I took a chance. I ordered a guitar without ever trying one first. And I haven't regretted it for a second.
It's a beautiful instrument!
There's just one little thing I'd change, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the quality. I wish the headstock had a slightly deeper curve, just to get a bit more bending range behind the nut.
That's really it. And the P90 pickups are great too!

The Baum Vega is absolutely beautiful, the neck feel amazing with a nice Matt finish so your hand moves up easily and doesn’t get sweaty like with the glossy finishes! The pickups are great and the guitar was set up perfectly for me out the box ❤️❤️
Love it! I wanted a guitar with P90s and these pickups are great. They are quite full on but roll off the volume a little and they are perfect. Really expressive and touch sensitive. The guitar itself is faultless. Really easy to play and perfectly set up out of the box. Looks cool too! Great value for money as well. Well done Baum.
Wow! Well worth waiting for from the original order placed earlier in the year via the last of the monthly instalments to the ultimate receipt a couple of weeks ago.
Looks great
Plays great
Sounds great
Possibly a Wingman next!
I’m impressed by the quality and sound of the Baum Verve guitar; it’s undoubtedly an excellent instrument at a highly competitive price. If you’re looking for a modern take on the Telecaster style, don’t hesitate.

There’s a bit of a story behind this one. The Baum Revolt is my first brand-new guitar—and the first guitar I’ve ever bought without taking it for a test drive.
I bought my first guitar in the early ’90s: a 1977 Gibson Les Paul Pro with P90s. I still have it, and for good reason. I played it for years, then somehow took a couple of decades off. By the time I came back, someone had invented this thing called the internet, my musical tastes had changed considerably, and the Les Paul wasn’t quite what I wanted to reach for anymore.
Then I bought a 2000 Deluxe Strat, and that’s where my love for Stratocasters began. During COVID, I even built a partscaster using top-notch components, including a set of pickups from Radioshop in the UK. For a first attempt, it turned out pretty well.
Then, one day, I picked up the Les Paul again. Those P90s just screamed at me. There was that sound! The problem was that I’d become so comfortable with Strats that the Les Paul felt awkward by comparison. I loved what I was hearing, but I wasn’t loving how it felt in my hands. I shouldn’t be too harsh—the Pro is a REALLY nice guitar—but we’d clearly grown in different directions.
So I started looking. I spent plenty of time in guitar shops and played plenty of guitars, but nothing really spoke to me. I considered another build, although putting P90s in an S-style guitar felt slightly sinful. I’m a bit traditional that way.
Then Baum appeared in my Instagram feed, and down the rabbit hole I went.
After several difficult internal conversations about buying a guitar I’d never held, I took the plunge. Six months later, exactly as advertised, the Revolt arrived at my door. It looked amazing, felt nice and light, and was still pretty much in tune after it's long journry to Canada.
I gave it a couple of days to acclimatize, then took it downstairs and plugged it in.
There it was: that lovely P90 growl I’d rediscovered in my Les Paul, with plenty of room to explore beyond it. The Revolt doesn’t feel like the Strats I’ve come to know and love, and I’m glad it has its own personality. It’s also much more comfortable for me than the Les Paul. It’s really got its own thing going on, and the more I play it, the more I like it.
It felt a little stiff out of the box, and we’re still getting acquainted, but every time I pick it up, it reveals a little more of what it can do.
I’ve been running it through a Boss Katana, a little Orange solid-state amp, and my favourite, a VOX AC10. I think the Revolt likes the tubes.
As I get more familiar with it and dial in my pedals, I keep finding new tones. There’s a surprising amount of versatility in that simple three-position switch, volume, and tone setup.
Very cool, guys. You’ve made a beautiful, versatile, genuinely fun guitar—and I look forward to beating the hell out of it. :)
The Revolt is a fantastic guitar, the setup was great out of the box. It's a lovely guitar to play and has been my main guitar since it arrived. It was worth the wait and will certainly be my first of many Baum guitars.
I was happy to get the last Conquer 59. Although a B-Stock guitar, I was disappointed with the condition. One pickup didn‘t work, some screws were loose and the guitar was very dirty. After cleaning, repairing and putting new strings on it I am at least very happy with this beautiful guitar. Good guitar, poor service. Sorry !
I have 2 Baum Vega Carves now, they are exceptional guitars! The newest one here has many great improvements to the original; contoured neck heel, amazing paint color stone blue, and you can now remove the pickguard without having to uninstall the neck pickup for maintenance. Plays and feels flawless. Playability with great design.Thank you Baum.
It’s quite simple, I absolutely love my new Baum. The Wingman is a magnificent instrument, astonishing looks, great craftsmanship, and it sounds anm and plays amazingly. The whole ordering process was easy, the service - especially the set up, I’ve never experienced anything like this with a new instrument - is great.
I don’t know any other builder who delivers such quality for a price like this. Quite possibly not my last Baum.
I love my new Baum Revolut, it is beautiful, it has such a nice feeling and sound, I am still in the testing process but I have to say that I cannot stop being close to my Guitar.
It has been worthy waiting 6 months to have it in my hands. I have to congratúlate to all Baum Team. They all do such a great job.
Thanks. I am so happy.
Great service from Baum. I changed the delivery address three times due to moving countries, and Baum handled it perfectly.
I was tempted to get a Les Paul Junior, but since it only has one pickup, I chose the Baum with two P90S. It's my first guitar with P90S, and I am not disappointed.
As for the guitar, the workmanship is great, the electronics are great, and it looks beautiful.
I highly recommend this guitar; it is comparable to, if not better than, guitars I have paid double the price for.
Such a versatile instrument. You can get that classic Jazz sound from it but also, with some tone adjustment, a credible Precision sound too. Plus a whole load of new places to explore. Put some flats on it, hoist the action up a bit and you can really lay into it! Thanks, Baum!
Love this guitar straight out of the box. Out of all my Baums, this one has my favourite neck. The new Vega series is really special! I bought the Verve and the Revolt. Both have arrived in immaculate condition and with stellar setups. These new models are really dialed in!
Great guitar. Super stable tuning. Resonant. Light. Ergonomic. Love the finish of the neck. I wanted to play a whole show before reviewing and she impressed a sold out house.
Beautiful guitar and flawlessly built. There are no sharp frets, it stays in tune und the electronics ( though they are just standard Japanese ones) work like a good 50s wiring, which is something that I really dig.
It came with the very nice Baum Gigbag and arrived setup and in tune.
The only “negative” thing I wanna mention is, that it’s a bit neck heavy. But that’s just due to the light weight of the body.
The P90s sound fine and there’s no need to change them out yet.
So overall, a very, very good guitar for a reasonable price.
Highly recommended!!!!!!!
GREAT QUALITY Gig bag! Very durable and exceeded my expectations! So happy with my Baum Verve purchase. Definitely worth the wait. Good things come to those who wait for sure.
die Gitarre kam gut eingestellt und verpackt an. Optisch finde ich sie sehr schön und die Qualität ist für den Preis sehr gut. Die Gitarre lässt sich sehr gut spielen und die P 90 Pickups klingen überraschend gut . Allgemeine Verarbeitung, Lackierung , Hals , Einstellung ,Bünde alles Top. Über meine Marshalls klingt die Gitarre sehr rotzig und gut. Setzt sich gut im Bandgefüge durch.
This is my first Baum guitar, and I'm truly thrilled and happy to have purchased it. There are many reasons why I'm so satisfied. I'll try to explain them in this review (I used Google Translate). First: the setup. I have several mid-range guitars (not custom shop guitars, so to speak) and often, after purchasing them, I've been forced to take them to the luthier for adjustments. Typically, the octave adjustments, the string action, and sometimes even a buzzing or dead string in the higher positions of the fretboard. However, the Baum Revolt guitar arrived perfectly set up and ready to play: a beautiful piece of work by the Baum luthiers. Second: the quality of the materials and construction. The Revolt is a remarkable piece of lutherie; the body wood (very light mahogany), the body varnish, the perfection of the neck, the quality of the rosewood on the fretboard, the tuners, the bridge. Everything is of high quality and certainly far superior to the quality of guitars of a similar price. Third aspect: the sound. A guitar, besides being beautiful and well-built, must ultimately sound good, and this Revolt has a truly beautiful sound. The P90 pickups are open, analytical, and extremely sensitive. The range of tones that can be obtained in the three typical operating combinations, together with excellent tone and volume controls, is truly vast. You can go from a muffled sound typical of jazz accompaniment to a sharp but full sound that is giving me great satisfaction. These days I'm playing only this guitar and every day I discover new timbres and new sounds. In conclusion, the Baum Revolt is a splendid guitar (the color of mine in particular drives me crazy) that can give great satisfaction to any guitarist. Great job, Baum! Bravo!
My Vega Carve was well worth the wait - instantly my favourite guitar to play. The quality is astonishing for the price - it feels like a high end guitar from one of the more established brands - and it plays just as well. This is the first time I have ever picked up a guitar and felt that it has made me a better player.
It was so good that within a couple of weeks, I ordered another Baum guitar!
It seemed like a long wait, 6 months after pre ordering this beautiful work of art arrived, and it was more than worth the wait. It feels, looks and sounds amazing!
P90’s are awesome. I use neck pick up mainly, and it is smooth and bluesy, but clear and touch sensitive.
Very happy indeed, thank you Baum
It's a beautifully built and designed guitar. The p90s are particularly good, the set up meant they were well balanced out of the box with three very usable and distinct positions. Plays absolutely great and has a lovely neck, the fretwork is perfect. It's also got a number of little touches - eg: great looking and feeling pots, satisfyingly wide tuning pegs - that add up to something very special. The combination of the 25.5 scale and the light body and also pick ups brings together the best of a couple of different guitar types into one package. It's a joy to have something designed and distinctive that feels classic and original at the same time. Customer service was excellent in the build up. 5 out of 5.
Whilst I love the guitar it's not quite blown me away as my Nidhogg bass did earlier in the year. When I first received it I felt there was a chance I would return it as I was slightly underwhelmed but sticking with it it has grown on me considerably and considering it is a so called "budget", or at least a lower cost guitar shall we say I probably should have expected it not to quite come up to the wow factor of the Nidhogg... Also I should state I'm a bass player by trade and just a six string rhythm with a touch of lead here and so I don't profess to know how to discect the six string as I do with the Nidhogg bass.
Overall it's won me over after a tweak in the setup which was required unlike the Nidhogg........ would the money been better spent on a second hand gibbo or fender........ Mmmmm.... maybe but it's a great guitar with a few corners cut which I imagine compared to the expensive models really has to be expected or what's the difference?
**Absolutely stunning – worth every day of the wait!**
My new and long-awaited BAUM Verve is simply amazing in every detail!
First of all, it looks absolutely stunning – elegant, classy, and beautifully designed. But it’s not just about looks. It plays and sounds fantastic, with a richness of tone and versatility that genuinely exceeded my expectations.
As with all BAUM guitars (and I now proudly own five!), the craftsmanship and build quality are exceptional. Every instrument reflects an extraordinary attention to detail and that extra touch of passion and dedication that makes BAUM guitars so special.
I couldn’t be happier with my new Vega. The long wait was absolutely worth it!
Keep up the fantastic work, BAUM!
Great guitar, a joy to play.Fantastic finish with a wonderfull neck
I have added some weight in the control cut out as it was a
little head heavy for my taste, but all fine tuning.
A great value guitar, Thanyou.
Pretty sure this is the best guitar I'll ever play. It's tippy-top and I'm a happy old man. Will prolly buy another Baum a couple of years down the line. The quality and playability is stunning.
This is my first Baum and first T-Style guitar. It’s also the first guitar I’ve purchased (sight unseen) without playing it first. I absolutely love it! I was completely blown away! Definitely a keeper and the Neck pickup is AMAZING!
