[@baumguitars]

Thanks for a great review, kind words, and great tones, Darrell! Cheers and love from Denmark!

[@nosquarez1]

Where can I buy these in uk and whats average £ retail

[@baumguitars]

@@nosquarez1 Reach out to Crimson Guitars soon :-) Or you can grab one directly from us as well. Current retail price is 1599€ :-)

[@devinsparks1523]

Pleassssse make one of these in a single wrap tail version. I want one so bad!

[@DustinClarkSTL]

These will become my stage guitar one day! So nice

[@danielbarbieri8199]

Very easy to make good reviews, you make excellent guitars. I hate the headstock of the Revolt, but that's a matter of personal taste. It doesn't take away from the qualities of the instrument.

[@ChristopherOrth]

I've had a Baum Wingman in skyline blue w/Bigsby for over a year now. Wonderful guitar! Don't hesitate... these are high quality and super fun to play.

[@marclove1159]

Finally... A guitar maker who locates the volume knob where it is out of the way. Thank You !!!

[@matthewtaylor1798]

Wow what a guitar! very clean, crisp and bright. Definitely a sparkle machine. Thanks Darrell for bringing such great guitars to the gear community!!

[@jimmyjames2022]

Pickups on the Baum Wingman sound like a P90 crossed with a Strat SC, the perfect tone!

[@nicksmith6526]

I’ve got the Baum Backwing and it’s top notch. The guys at Baum really seem to know what they’re doing.

[@littlerhodyguitar2169]

I've had my eye on this company for a while, really considering getting one after I take care of a couple of things. Thanks Darrell for another great video. ☮️❤️

[@DarrellBraunGuitar]

Got a very cool guitar for you guys this week! These guys have got some really interesting and fun designs! Guitar info: baumguitars.com/?ref=315 Enjoy :)

[@ClayAllred]

Those look super cool! Nice!

[@russellzauner]

Cream was offering demo guitars to a LOT of people at NAMM...did you get a holler? I want to see more of their electric paint design and actually hear how they sound.

[@mikkeljulius7313]

Great review, @Darrell Braun Guitar. I'm from Denmark and I gotta say that we actually have a lot of great guitar makers right now. Morten Baum has hit the spot with the Original Series (the one you're holding). Lots of our greats bands and songwriters from Denmark play Baum Guitars. Check out e.g. Alex Vargas or The Minds of 99.

[@you2vertigo]

Beautiful instrument. The quality, design and craftsmanship are similar to Danish design furniture from the 50s and 60s = absolute top-of-the-line. The sound ❤❤ Definitely on my "waiting list". A instrument of this caliber makes me happy....😊

[@barnaclerusty]

Looks like a great surf guitar.. you need some drippy reverb and tremolo.. All of their guitars look really top notch 😍

[@tommykesterson416]

Awesome guitar Darrell! Love those pickups and whatever amp you were using sounded incredible. Great job!

[@lessthanpinochet]

Sounds like a p90/jazzmaster pickup hybrid. Amazing.

[@PedalChainsAddiction]

Love Baum! I have one of their Conquer 59s. Saw Stefan Fast from the Pedal Zone playing one and was smitten. Great to play, pickups (Jabmasters) sound amazing clean and with dirt, a Bigsby, and a super comfortable weight. Thanks for spotlighting this builder! Great video!

[@lordmortensen8344]

I am the fortunate and happy owner of 3 Baum guitars and a fourth on the way. These guitars are awesome through and through. If I had more space for guitars, I would probably have more. I need a bigger house.

[@jonathanhudak2059]

I really like this model that Darrell reviewed here. I like the white one and the light metallic blue as well

[@lordmortensen8344]

@@jonathanhudak2059 I have the white one myself. Just an awesome guitar! I can highly recommend!

[@jonathanhudak2059]

@@lordmortensen8344 thanks Martin...single coil pickups too? Such a cool guitar!

[@lordmortensen8344]

@@jonathanhudak2059 yes singlecoil Jabmasters. They sound excellent!

[@jonathanhudak2059]

Just found out about these guitars last night and was checking them out and then Boom here you are with a review of the very same Wingman that got my attention! Love the looks of this guitar and it sounds fantastic but then again you can make practically any guitar sound good Darrell! Will be checking these guys out thanks for the great review! 👍👍

[@Baci302]

Looks and sounds incredible. The pickups sound like single coils to me. Nice and bright and jangly. Love it!

[@Spaceman-jo5mz]

That is a nice guitar. Checks all the boxes for what I’m looking for. Thanks for showing it👍

[@mikecarreca7864]

I normally stick to classic body designs in all my guitars, however, I like this one. It is certainly worth the 1599. They have on price. Thank you Darrell

[@GearGasms]

I’ve been looking at these for awhile now. Thanks for this- sounds and looks great!

[@AntonioCavicchioni]

Finally, somebody put a roller bridge together with the Bigsby...

[@drewsleyy3836]

Absolutely gorgeous guitar. Non reverse firebird vibes 😍 I’d change the pots to master volume and two tones, otherwise perfect!

[@norwayva]

I bought ones of these without the bigsby a few weeks ago. Killer guitar but there’s definitely a lot of neck dive without the extra mass on the bridge. Still, no regrets. Killer instrument.

[@stevenspikes5474]

😮 man, that sounds awesome. Is that a Vega series? I expected it to sound brighter too. I'm going to have to save up for one of those babies

[@mburtondavis]

Wow!I really like it. Can’t wait to see what other models they have.

[@enricotoso]

Grande suono ed estetica,complimenti Darrell che ce l'hai fatta conoscere.

[@lawrencefranck9417]

You made Scott Holiday of Rival Sons day.

[@robertdonosobuchner3129]

Really interesting! This guitar sounds very clear and detailed. Another guitar on my list I have to check out. 😊🤘

[@grayman7914]

An improvement over your past guitar reviews where your signal chain with overdrive tones would make all the guitars sound the same. This one captures the character of this guitar really well. Thanks!

[@nedim_guitar]

I see many people complimenting the guitar's tone, and that's fine. But I thing we should also praise Darrell's choice of amps and mic positioning.

[@rocinblues]

As always a great review. Only issue I have with guitar makers in general after playing most everything in 50 yrs of playing. When making a $1700 guitar why not offer S/S frets. Honestly, I can buy a well made guitar off of Amazon for under $500 with S/S frets/LocTuners/Roasted neckts/VG electronics etc., and many are very nice players.

[@snapfinger1]

Fender scale snap. Non reverse Firebird with P-90 beef. Danish Pete might retire his tele for one of those.

[@hijmestoffels5171]

Cool guitar, the clean sound is impressive.

[@davepatterson4774]

That's really cool! I have a Squier J Mascis Jazzmaster that I love and it has a similar aesthetic vibe to it. That said, I'm usually a Les Paul guy, so it'd be a lot of fun and maybe worthwhile to check one of these out to compare differences and similarities.

[@toolbelt]

This color combo calls to me. Such a beautiful guitar.

[@Paul_Lenard_Ewing]

At $1200.00 USD it certainly is competitive. The PU pole pieces appear to be 6 separate magnets but with a wide coil. It is in the Jazzmaster category of PU's.

[@louisegrimhelm3041]

Very space age 60's. It's gorgeous. Looks like it came out of the jetsons

[@magic2506]

Picking on of their colors is tough but, I keep going back to this white one. Really want to order it.

[@markmcgibbon2101]

I’ve got one of these. I love it. Great quality from a very customer focused company. Hope you review some of their other models like the Backwing or the Conquer.

[@jonathanhudak2059]

Congrats they look and sound like pretty cool guitars!

[@DennisVedel]

I have two Baum guitars two Wingmen 😉 One with bigspy and one without but with humbuckers. I love them so so much. Best guitars ever ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@drkomuzik8640]

I really really liked that solo there Darrell! That’s my kinda jam right there!

[@sgt.grinch3299]

I love guitars with P90s. This looks great with that roasted maple neck & rosewood.

[@sharky6128]

Very classy looking and sounds amazing as well !!! Thanks for always showing us the latest and greatest new toys !!! Now I have to convince my wife to get me one :) Cheers, Kevin

[@Steve_ATL]

Excellent looking and sounding guitar.

[@AdamCulp]

Nice intro. They're aggressively advertising, so nice to see a detailed review... Timely. Roller bridge seems well thought out.

[@1aleckman1]

Hi Darrell! Love your videos. I thought for sure when you first showed this guitar that it was a Gibson Firebird with exception of the headstock which is reversed. Surprised me that it was something different. Have a great day.

[@bernhardnizynski4403]

Sounds great!

[@scottreynolds6317]

That is a really cool guitar 🎸!!! Sounds very bright!!!!

[@jeromebarnido1462]

Wow. Very nice tones for this guitar. It must be good for evangelical praise and worship. ❤❤❤

[@kuyaglen]

Looks kinda like the Ernie Ball St. Vincent Signature guitar.

[@fritzherrmann762]

It sounds like a hybrid of a Les Paul with p90s and a fender jmasta. 😊

[@zorglubmagnus455]

Very nice shape. Space age done right.

[@earnestmatlock9694]

That is a really good guitar 🎸. Great tone too. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@DanBires]

Reminds me of the Eastman guitars. Cool.

[@louisstokes1898]

You should have mentioned that they have a similar lower end model with same body shape as The Wingman in the "Vega" series. On Sale now for $800, without bigsby, and only dot inlays. Would love to hear that one and get your take on it (Since I can't afford $2800 for one guitar)

[@Haznogunz]

I got excited when you said they were made in South Korea and made it sound like they were more budget friendly. Great looking and sounding guitar, but in the $1200 price range for this, I’ll just move along and try and forget this kick ass guitar ever existed.

[@stevenspikes5474]

There's another series in the $800 range that's made in Indonesia

[@JB-cn7hn]

Great review Darrell as always. Greetings from Ireland.

[@kaymobe]

Nice I’ve been looking at this guitar for a month. Thanks for the review

[@razor282]

Just started the video. Damn that looks rad! Sounds fantastic!

[@darrell5228]

Nice guitar but the body reminds me of the paranormal series out there. Love that bigsby bridge.

[@markjacksonmusic21]

Sounds great! Looks like my Rivolta

[@DodgeDartSongs]

Great-sounding pickups. You almost started to sound like Brian May there for a second, Darrell.

[@nazmoking3171]

Yes I noticed he went there too! Maybe he felt like he was getting some of that Red Special tone so he went that direction.

[@rickseconds7676]

It sounds excellent, I really wish I could have learned to play.

[@Brkprsn]

That p90/SC tone is unmatched. Now I want one.

[@baumguitars]

🙏 Thanks!

[@glynjames5948]

Great channel for guitar reviews but I can’t understand why we still haven’t seen a Dean Zalinski S type with the ATW pickup configuration come on Darrell I can’t wait for that one .🎸

[@1loveMusic2003]

Rolling saddles should be on all bigsby guitars

[@thisbridgehascables]

I have one of these with the original headstock.. great guitar!

[@michagrabowski6753]

Darrel, you should try some instruments from a company called Prestige Guitars! Their DC Coupe Custom Hybrid T model can go head-to-head with any expensive tele! And it looks great too! :)

[@thedondeluxe6941]

Sounds and looks great! Gotta check these out.

[@MotorcityBart]

Reminded me of Doobie Brother's tone wise right off the rip.

Gorgeous, gorgeous guitar!

Those guitar are really cool and the specs a great !

[@iantaylor1524]

Great guitar playing Darrell

[@TheBbrothers224]

Love the pick guard. The body style reminds me of Hanson guitars out of the Chicago area…especially the Hanson Cigno with bigsby

[@nazmoking3171]

Great tones to be sure! I’d like to know the price and a little more about the makeup of the pickups. Nice vibrato with Bigsby!

[@brianfrolo245]

The blood red model tho ❤

[@trunzbox5264]

So cool! Love that guitar. Inlays are really cool!! Would love to see you check out Lake Pickups! Not that I want to be “cool video do this!”

[@lueysixty-six7300]

Its really, really cool - a lot to like. But not beefy enough with gain, I feel... A little tinny sounding. Ive got an SG (Gibson) with a minihumbucker in the bridge...and its a little tinny, and not the beefiness you get from a full sized HB. This may be different in the room, in your own hands though

[@bleeding_rose1990]

God what amp you running it through, im buying it

[@danmc_2783]

Wow, those pickups really do a great job of combining the balls of a P-90 with the chimey top end of a Jazzmaster pickup. I wonder, do they maybe use 1 Meg ohm pots?

[@baumguitars]

1 Meg would be too chimey (for most, but some loves it). We use 250K per standard, but some add 500K for some extra top-end :D

[@yellowcat1310]

i wish when you used the tremolo that you would use it in at least a semi musical way. i mean every single time it's wawawawa. no finesse. no touch, no attempt to do anything other than show it is a trem. and you are such a good guitar player too...

[@timelwell7002]

Great review of a seriously impressive guitar - many thanks. I want one..! QUESTION: Which bank do I have to rob to get one..?

[@absofjelly]

Looks like a Meteora. The screws on the pickups look nasty.

[@scott7521]

Great tones!

[@jguitar23]

I want that exact model in lefty🎉 White or silver!

[@Zundfolge]

That's very nice. Except for the Bigsby ... I hate Bigsby trems with an intense passion and would rather have a cheap knockoff Floyd Rose with rubber bands instead of springs over a Bigsby. But with a stop bar instead this is pretty nice. The pickups look like a cool cross between P90s and Teisco gold foils (but appear to sound more P90ish, which is great).

[@tredogzs]

No one builds better than Korea! Quality probably just went WAY up! Fender custom shop needs to move production to Korea!

[@ericleary5075]

Nice sounding axe! Really like the pups! Are they splittable?

[@johnkennington7649]

I want to get one of the diy kits to put one together. Could you recommend a good kit?

[@jospoortman9915]

Very cool guitar, thanks for the review! I noticed (but I could be wrong?) that with the overdrive, you lose a lot of bottom end. Now that could be the recording, it could be the type of overdrive/ settings, but the clean sounded a lot better and richer to me than the drive tone. Could that be the pickups, sounding thinner and flatter (agian, it could be the recording and I could be entirely wrong) when the signal coming from them is boosted? Or does this have nothing to do with the core sound?

[@nuthinbutlove]

The balance comes from that Bigsby

[@13skies]

Great sounding pick-ups.

[@smartmammal9926]

Inlays look like the facade of the hotel at the Denver Airport.

[@timchalmers1700]

Looks and sounds great !!

[@1loveMusic2003]

[@richardhermans4457]

This sounds absolutely gorgeous...love it. Do you mind sharing what pedal/board you're using?

[@ianinindy1165]

But will it surf?

[@clivematthews95]

It makes me think of the Explorer, but I’m not so hot for the tones of this. Pickups have a bit of distortion on the clean tone

[@LilYeshua]

Sounds great,looks great 👍
