FROM SKETCH TO STAGE IN 12 STEPS.
CRAFTED WITH A PURPOSE.
Building a guitar takes time, patience, and precision if you want to build character into each piece. At Baum, we’ve carefully selected our partners, from custom hardware engineers to skilled luthiers, to ensure the highest quality at every stage. It’s a journey where everything must align like pieces in a puzzle before the guitar reaches your hand. We believe it'a worth this, and that you can feel the care behind every detail.
Here’s a glimpse into our made-to-order process.
Enjoy the ride.
