OUR COMMUNITY
CELEBRATING 10 YEARS
DARK MOON COLLECTION
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.
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. These will not be made again.
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.
Our premium roller-bridge.
A SPECIAL PIECE.
The Levitator™ Roller Bridge is Baum’s custom roller-saddle bridge, designed and engineered in-house to improve our instrument's tuning stability, sustain, and resonance.
Its precision brass rollers let strings glide friction‑free, reducing binding and keeping tuning steady during tremolo use, bends, and aggressive play. With a calibrated weight and high-end materials, the Levitator makes sustain and dynamic response better and every note ring like it should.
The Levitator combines performance, tone, and reliability in one elegant design.
PAF-SOUNDS AND CLARITY.
The Anniversary Backwing is loaded with Goldsound Goldbucker™ mini‑humbuckers, delivering punchy tone and vintage flair. Engineered to channel the vibe of the legendary PAF humbucker, our Goldbuckers use Alnico V magnets for dynamic responsiveness and classic warmth.
Expect bright clarity, defined articulation, and tight lows. Perfect for cleans, crunchy riffs, and expressive solos. These pickups sit tonally between a PAF-style humbucker and a P‑90, offering both raw power and sensitive control without hum. Making the Backwing the best offset guitar for rock, alternative, grunge to pop or blues.
Goldsound® Pickups are bespoke and only available on Baum guitars—making the Backwing truly one-of-a-kind.
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 MOST LIKEABLE NECK.

The Backwing features Baum’s modern C‑shape neck profile: the most popular guitar neck shape for its comfort and versatility. Designed to feel familiar and natural in any playing style, it offers a balanced comfort that works for chords, riffs, and fast leads alike.
Crafted from roasted maple with a 12″ rosewood fretboard and a satin lacquer finish, it feels fast, fun, and ready for long sessions.
Medium‑jumbo frets provide the ideal balance of width and height, making bends effortless and playability consistent across the entire neck.
A modern C guitar neck that does it all and does it beautifully.

21:1 RATIO AND PREMIUM MATERIALS.
BAUM PRECISION TUNERS.
The Baum Precision™ Tuners give you total control over your tuning so you can focus on playing, not tuning. With a high 21:1 gear ratio, every turn is smooth, accurate, and rock‑solid.
Each tuner features a solid brass shaft, a dense, low‑friction metal that not only boosts tuning stability and string articulation, but also enhances resonance and sustain by efficiently transferring string energy into the headstock.
