10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY EDITION.
We proudly introduce the Anniversary Dark Moon Collection— a special release to celebrate our 10th anniversary in 2025.
The Backwing is hardwired for rock n roll, yet this edition screams elenegance and attitude in one.
This Dark Moon Collection consists of a limited edition instruments in a special bundle with a limited edition Baum Deluxe Hardcase.
THE DARK MOON COLLECTION.
There’s just something about the Dark Moon color — paired with the gold accents, you get an elegant, mysterious, and endlessly inspiring look.
The Dark Moon has been part of our story since the early days. It made its debut on one of the first Custom Shop Wingman guitars and popped up again with the launch of the Original Series.
Explore the exclusive Dark Moon Collection. Only available in 2025.
THE DOCUMENTARY
10 years of crafting guitars. This documentary tells our story of going from a one-man luthier workshop to a small established guitar brand with players worldwide.
WATCH IT HEREA LIMITED COLLECTION.
In quantity and time. The limited 2025 collection will be crafted in small batches throughout this year so we can focus on making every single instrument a spectacular piece.
All instruments will be made to order and it will only be possible to preorder these in 2025.
Each anniversary model will include a limited edition Baum hardcase, an anniversary certificate and case candy.
A SPECIAL PIECE.
Our custom-made Levitator roller-bridge.
Tuning stability’s greatest enemy is friction. So we designed our own bridge to handle this.
Our roller bridge allows the string to move freely and is frictionless. Now upgraded with solid brass wheels, the transfer of string resonance from the string to the body is increased.
And your tone just got an extra dimension of resonance, sustain, warmth, and articulation.
A CLASSIC SOUND.
Powered by Goldsound® Pickups.
The Backwing is loaded with a set of Goldbuckers™.
A retro-vibed crunchy mini-humbucker that blends the old-school PAF sounds with a tighter low-end and a high dynamic feel. Loaded with Alnico V magnets and a solid output that makes them perfect for bold cleans and crunchy riffs.
Goldsound® Pickups are our custom-made pickups. Only available in Baum.
CELEBRATING 10 YEARS.
The Backwing has been a solid part of our first 10 years. From early custom shop guitars to one of the first Original Series, and still being one of the top choices among our players.
THE ANNIVERSARY CASE
All 10th Anniversary Collection instruments come with a limited edition Anniversary Deluxe hardcase.
THE MOST LIKEABLE NECK
The Backwing features our modern C profile, which is the most popular neck profile for a reason. It’s comfortable to most players because it does it all, and it does it great.
Made of dark roasted maple with a 12″ rosewood fretboard and a satin lacquer finish.
Frets are medium jumbo giving you a balance of width and height making the Backwing easier, smoother, and more fun to play all night.
PRECISE TUNING.
The high-quality Baum Precision™ Tuners.
The high ratio 21:1 tuners give you full control over the tuning, so you can focus more on your timing than your tuning during the performance.
The Precision Tuners™ comes with a solid brass shaft because it’s one of the few parts with constant string contact, which gives your tone more articulation.
That’s a precisely tuned tone.
