Baum Guitars

Baum Guitars is a Danish instrument maker born from a simple but stubborn idea: build the guitars that didn't yet exist. The brand was founded by Morten Bau — a designer and art director who built his first guitar in 1989 and spent years crafting instruments in his spare time before officially establishing Baum Guitars in 2015. Frustrated with building brands for other companies, Bau turned his attention to the one product he was most passionate about, starting the whole operation out of a basement in Aarhus, Denmark. What began as a custom shop passion project has grown into an internationally recognised guitar brand, with accolades including a Platinum Win at the London Design Awards and the MUSE Design of the Year Platinum award.

At the heart of every Baum instrument is a distinctly Scandinavian design sensibility. Danish design principles — simplicity, functionality, and minimalism — translate directly into the instruments: clean lines, natural materials, and timeless aesthetics that are as visually compelling as they are playable. Baum doesn’t outsource its identity to its manufacturing partners; instead, the brand operates on an 80/20 philosophy, asserting that 80% of an instrument’s feel and character comes from the brand itself, while 20% comes from the manufacturer — a conviction that drives rigorous in-house design, prototyping, and quality control. Proprietary hardware including Goldsound® pickups, Baum Precision Tuners™, TrueTone Tremolo™, and the Levitator™ roller bridge all contribute to a playing experience that is distinctly and unmistakably Baum.

Every Baum guitar — whether from the Original Series, the VEGA Series, the Acoustic Series, or the Revival Custom Collection — is shipped to Aarhus for a final quality control check and full setup before leaving for its new home, ensuring every instrument is stage-ready straight out of the box. For every guitar purchased, Baum also plants a tree in partnership with GoodAPI, reflecting the brand’s commitment to sustainability and its respect for the natural materials at the core of the luthier’s craft. Trusted by players and artists worldwide, Baum Guitars represents a new generation of instruments — rooted in craftsmanship and conscious design, and built for those who want something genuinely their own.
