The Wingman is designed to set the stage for a series of electric guitars designed and developed by a Nordic approach to product longevity in terms of materials and build quality combined with an inspiration from 60s vintage cars’ style, bold colors, and characteristic curves by creating an electric guitar that combines the artistic from classic cars with the style and functionality from the offset guitar genre. It’s designed from a holistic perspective meaning that the important curves and the selected materials adds to the functionality too.

The Baum Wingman electric guitar is a progressive design deeply rooted in Baum’s Nordic philosophy focusing on functionality with high grade materials in a timeless design for longevity combined with an inspiration in the 60s American Car design often bold styles.

The Wingman uses high-quality materials, including roasted maple, mahogany, and rosewood for the body and neck, hardware made of solid brass and nickel, custom voiced Goldsound® Jabmaster™ pickups, all of which combined gives the Wingman a unique and punchy sound versatile for many music genres.

Precisely engineered hardware adds to the functionality, and the smooth edges around the Levitator™ roller-bridge emphasizes the curves on the body, while the warm brass details add a contrast to the nickel parts.

The offset body contour leans forward in a balanced shape that makes it easy to play standing and seated. Its thinner body style makes it lightweight and resonant, and the C-profiled neck shape makes it a comfortable experience for the player.

The Wingman is designed by Morten Bau for Baum Guitars.
