[@TheMerc1950]

I think you broke their website...😅

[@tplambert]

I love their left-handed range….

[@Warrnan52]

To me. This is less a jazzmaster and more of a very good looking reverse firebird style guitar. Gorgeous. Certainly a contender for the p90s slot that I’m looking to buy.

[@fleshbhones]

I mean, I like Jazzmasters for the tremolo, unique pickups, and interesting electronics. It is a cool looking offset shape though!

[@wbfaulk]

The tremolo system is actually a large part of the reason it sounds the way it does, too, even if you don't use it to tremolo.

[@elvee7851]

@@wbfaulkThe only thing this guitar has in common with a Jazzmaster is the offset body. The Jazzmaster is a totally different beast.

[@MrSongwriter2]

It's probably got more in common with an explorer (excluding the bolt on neck)

[@Ottophil]

Those are why i don’t like jazzmasters

[@sub-jec-tiv]

@@OttophilGood thing 98.8% of guitars are made for people just like you!

[@Shawnpo76]

As soon as you turned it on and started playing I was in love, man what a great tone from those pickups!

[@trev3971]

Beautiful color, sounds nice, nothing like a Jazzmaster.

[@stuartdennis8506]

Best sounding clean tones I’ve heard on your channel 🙌🏻

[@austinbridge]

Been waiting for this! Awesome review and playing!

[@cathaldalymusic]

I've one of the original teardrop wingman, and their new celestor on order. They are fantastic and beautiful to play. Everyone needs a Baum Guitar in their lives

[@elliotguitarofficial]

It's great to encounter some unique and exquisite guitars orientated in the fringes, yet represent superb value for money in their design and build. 👍🏻

[@Deliquescentinsight]

I like the clarity of the neck pickup, even when fuzzed out, that is a sweet guitar, seems very versatile also! Deep Forrest looks nice, that Glacier blue is my fav

[@bldallas]

Very cool guitar. Love the looks and tones. Great stuff.

[@ChristopherOrth]

I have a Wingman and really dig it. Feels great under the fingers, and has some unique character to the tone.

[@garyoneill5648]

Great job Andy some awesome tones 🎸 lovely clean tones especially 😇

[@therandom802]

I don’t need another guitar right now…I’m tempted to buy this though. If for no other reason, just to support the industry making more offsets. Especially offsets that don’t say fender.

[@TheRafared]

Definitely one I would consider, love the look and the sound.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

It should be one the list!

[@scottybrowndotca]

Always thought I needed one of their guitars .. Now I guess I know for sure I need one of their guitars ..

[@brianrollins7275]

Great demo, thank you sir. Guitar sounds really good and the pickups do seem to blend nicely together in the middle position. The body shape is pretty cool too. Wouldn’t tear me away from my telecaster but it is an interesting guitar that sounds decent. I enjoyed the video as always. Keep up the good work. ✌🏻

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Thanks for your kind words. I hear you regarding the tele but this can do some raucous twang!

[@valdazis]

I've been salivating over this model too

[@baabaabaa-yp2jh]

Great sounding pickups!!

[@PaulHatzigiannis]

Really nice demo. Now I want one...

[@bananapancakes4084]

Nicee! Way more appealing than the new epiphones at that price imo!!

[@PooNinja]

Very cool offset shape!

[@user-pk4kb8bx9g]

Oooh more hairpower with Andy. Thanx for your vids. 👍

[@diggerd6489]

I have a Baum Wingman Original and hand on heart can tell you they are such good guitars and hold themselves impressively amongst guitars twice the price

[@baumguitars]

Thank you so much!! Cheers from us!

[@FreeUrMindz]

Very pretty guitar and I love the neck shape!

[@wbm3085]

Great selection

[@spencerfreed6947]

Love this newer series of Baum primarily because they changed the hideous headstock shape. Ive always been attracted to their body shapes but never pulled the trigger because of the headstock. Just my opinion but i know i can't be alone on that. Fantastic review as always thank you!!

[@sesa2984]

From the first note I loved that guitar. I can tell it just has that thing where it invites you to play and it is enjoyable to do so. Great colour too. Shape....yeah, its a winner all round eh?

[@Woozy.0]

I've been looking at these for years too, and really love the look of the backwing &veingman! So excited to see this review, thank you for doing these! ❤

[@Astoria..]

What beautiful guitar, looking and sound wise.

[@retromacman620]

I like the shape, it's distinct! ❤

[@Thurston86]

Really digging the guitar! 🤘👽🎸

[@JpeterZoom-gt3pn]

This guitar has some amazing tone!!!

[@jwstout007]

I'm a fan of that brit green on this model you're playing, I'd not throw any of the color selections away in this series. They did a good job with these colors!

[@saarangnarayan123]

I always enjoy guitars that have a contrasting tone between the neck and bridge pickups. That’s the secret to a killer middle-position tone IMO! This right here sounds amazing, but more importantly looks amazing! And a guitar’s looks are the real secret to awesome tone, as we all know. Side note: I always felt that JM style offset bodies look best with a T-style headstock. Looks more proportional, but what do I know!

[@bernhardnizynski4403]

Sounds great!

[@vasotoe]

Wow, pretty damn cool! Also, that REVV D25 is making wonders looks like!

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Yeah V, it’s a damn fine signal chain

[@tgarder]

Harder than it looks to make something new that still look timeless and classy, but Baum sure nails it. Getting serious craving from a lot of their models (the Carve looks amazing too)

[@dnick49]

Enjoy your reviews. Just subbed your channel.

[@CLaw-tb5gg]

I've had my eye on one of these for years, but as you say, good luck ever getting your hands on one lol

[@mkrj2576]

Thanks. Looks like a winner. I too like a thicker neck.

[@RobVespa]

What a beautiful guitar!

[@hanusmctaffer6852]

Im a amp lover. I dont seek anything past a strat, they do all I need so I don't geek out over guitars, but I love this thing I don't understand why. That color has me by the heart strings

[@johnmeeks9308]

they have nice colors and sound great at a good price

[@Longplay_Games]

What a beautiful tone

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Which one?

[@Longplay_Games]

@@TheGuitarGeekThe clean tone towards the beginning was my favorite. Especially with the blended pickups.

[@bcjaliu]

Dear Sir I loved your thorough but fun review of this guitar. That thing is bad ass and classy AF in the same go! I was close to getting the Wingman Original, was going back and forth between Bigsby/Jabbmaster pickups or Stoptail/Minihumbuckers but I think those P90’s sound thee best for what I’m looking for! I’m a bit surprised that they sound so alive even though I see 250k pots listed on the website, as I expect 500k pots with P90s. But one can’t argue with that tone, I guess Baum know what they are doing! I mean they sound incredible. I’d pay extra for a roasted maple neck on the Vega, but oh well ya’cant have it all. I really dig the black headstock and dots on the Vegas also! I think I’m going for an Inca Gold one, mmmhmmm! Greatly enjoy your work. BTw you are the feller that got me to buy a Boss FZ1W, love that thing! Cheers!

[@snif1703]

Hi, this guitar is definitely on my buy list, can you tell me a little bit more about possible neck dive while playing sit down. Thanks for the helping review.

[@andsoistopped]

Baum Wingman. Absolute class. the Tonecaster 50 has been partially inspired by the Wingman.

[@ragnadrabinowitz7629]

i wants one of these. it would be a great companion to my fender player plus meteora!

[@jwcph]

I came *so close!* to picking up one of these at the local guitar pusher (they had it at like 15-20% off) - the only reason why I didn't was that after I'd played around with it for like 45 minutes in the shop, I went a few rounds on a Fender Player Meteora (yes, I have a thing for that shape apparently 😝) & that felt so much more natural for me to play... not that the Wingman was bad by any stretch of the imagination but that's what scuttled the impulse decision - so at least for me, the Wingman did not feel Fender'y enough 😁 (then, a few months later, I bought a Sterling Mariposa on impulse, but that's another story...)

[@laurencehastings7473]

1000€ is a lot of money but that's a lot of guitar. Great tonal variation between those 2 P90's.

[@I.am_Groot]

Gets some nice tones. I wonder if they make different versions of pickups with similar covers as these are a bit muddy in spots where other times I have seen w Wingman seemed to have more depth and clarity. Cool looking they make a WM bass that sounds pretty badass too

[@marcaustin]

Pickups sound great

[@CA10Z]

That Baum sounds much better than my Revstar, the same P90 set up. Yea the neck tone is to die for...

[@peterhall4852]

I'm a vega boy in a vega world. They are great guitars. You get a lot for your money.

[@Stoobers]

I'm not snobby,. I like the sound and the look of it :)

[@slashvanyoung]

I’ve got the Carve, which is quite similar apart from the body shape. It sounds and plays really good. However, I’d prefer a chunkier neck and smaller radius on a vintage styled guitar. Hope they do that in the future.

[@antonyedwardson9900]

I tried one of these on a pilgrimage to Andertons about a year ago, it looked cool and sounded good but it did feel a bit rough when played alongside the Reverend Charger 290 (also offsety, 2 P90, stop tail) so I bought that instead.

[@compucorder64]

To get it a bit closer to things you might use a Jazzmaster for, I'd add one of those really nice, but not too expensive or hard to install Duesenberg after-market trems that can go on a tune-o-matic bridge, which I think this might be?

[@olafurbaldvinsigursson7252]

Oh what a wonderful guitar this Vega, will it be on the "Wall" of guitars?

[@mosestalbot]

I don't know, I think that color is pretty cool. I don't know if it's my favorite color ever, but it's nice. I'll have to look for that white and gold one.

[@richardlynch5632]

VERY interesting 😃👍👍

[@TK-fk4po]

I love their instruments. This one reminds me of a Trent also.

[@Seventeen_Seconds]

Love watching guitar reviews for guitars I'll never be able to afford

[@joelshollenberger7457]

yes the gold is the one im interested in too!!!!!

[@roqueeeeeeeee]

Cool looking guitar. Guild also released something similar.

[@baumguitars]

Thanks, Andy!! Sounds like we need to make it happen one day... White Wingman with Gold! Right? Cheers and love from Denmark.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Hello Baum Guitars! Cracking job here. The Wingman is everything I hoped it would be but I was truly surprised by those pickups, what a tone!

[@leeasbury7273]

White and gold is so classy 👍👍

[@TheGuitarEffect]

Gotta say folks. Kudos. Very hard to make an alternative looking guitar that is a new thing. That’s bloody gorgeous. Sounds epic too.

[@jimmcdougall9973]

Looks nice, sounds nice. Can’t go wrong with P90’s. Also looks like good build quality. Definitely one to keep on my radar. Ouch! Okay. I just had a look at the price and my Squier version seems to be good enough…

[@crgmcrgm6758]

Cool review, however you didn't mention about the upper fret accessibility for higher notes...As this is a bolt on neck, how would you rate or you feel it compared to let say a fender strat ? Thx in advance

[@TumbleweedRancher]

Looks interesting, but just got a G&L tribute doheny B stock. Good deal when they have them, but only ship to lower 48 states of USA. Still getting used to the passive treble-bass system.

[@PetefromSouthOz]

I agree it's as a very, very, cool looking P90 Guitar, rather than a Jazzmaster alternative. It gives that distinctive P90 growl. It does not look like it has an Offset profile. The waist cutaways look symmetrical to me. Having said that the shape is brilliant. Very nice Guitar. Cheers Andy.

[@TheStarFieldstv]

The bridge on this looks like the roller bridge on the Gordon smith Gatsby.... that's a guitar you should review....UK made and lots of custom options..

[@brianfrolo245]

She’s a beauty ❤

[@Robstafarian]

Were this available with a flat hardtail, I would be hugely interested.

[@howardmaryon]

If I bought one, the first thing I would do is put either a Bigsby, or one of the Goldo trems on it, it would look even cooler!😊

[@GuitarP0RN]

Fender Meteora with a Firebird flare... with a Guild headstock

[@ukdadgamer6033]

Be interesting to hear the Vega Wingman vs Original Wingman

[@rockinbobokkin7831]

Crazy, i just started getting ads for them on FB last week, and i followed the page because.....dang they are hot looking

[@serfillustrated4018]

I love it. Looks more like the Fender Meteora to me though. Which is the best thing Fender has done in years. Wish i had $1000 to spend on one.

[@BaronVonJ]

Lovely demo. Their web site is going real slow right now! For me it's gotta be the Deep Forest color.

[@sonijam]

I fucking love it!

[@howardmaryon]

About the headstock geometry: I can see that Baum have kept the strings straight from bridge to , nut to tuner. To increase the space between tuners they would have to make the headstock longer, and it looks a bit big already, like a pretty girl with big ears.

[@stockholm1752]

See the KZbinr “Straight Between” for ambient examples. His playing drew my attention to this brand.

[@TheGuitarEffect]

Man I want one of these reeeeeaaaaaallll bad!!!

[@UseAndGo]

I would love to hear this guitar in drop tune... since its starting to sound too good to be true =)

[@henningbokelmann]

I have a Baum Conquerer and it’s FANTASTIC1

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Oh those look amazing!!!

[@donmunson4802]

Comparing that to a Jazzmaster is a real stretch, it's closer to an old LP Special.

[@I.am_Groot]

I don't think its much of a stretch but for sure I think this is more Jared James Nichols vibe than what I have seen Chris Buck do with a Jazzmaster.

[@garrettstiles7808]

Agreed. Offset body shape and bolt-on maple neck are the only things remotely Jazzmaster about it. Body wood, scale length, pickups, switch location, and bridge are all basically LP Special.

[@jjj6655]

Thank you for all the technical information, but to me the essential information was : ''Gosh DARN it , does this want to give you RIFFS!''

[@therandom802]

I don’t need another guitar right now…I’m tempted to buy this though. If for no other reason, just to support the industry making more offsets. Especially offsets that don’t say fender. Already have a Revstar with 2 p90’s. Would consider this in a different configuration.

[@vince8081]

Probably more reminiscent in looks to the St Vincent signature Ernie Ball than anything Fender. Also whats the scale length? Standard 25.5?

[@benjaminhawthorne1969]

I have not heard Jazzmaster pickups described as "P90" pickups, but I suppose that they are the same thing. The Fender Jazzmaster pickups, although on the surface look like they might be dual-coil humbuckers, are indeed single coil, just wound in a wider and flatter manner than the single coils that they make for a strat or tele.

[@jessiesmith2391]

They are not p90s 2 completely different constructions

[@MikeLute]

An optional wiggle stick would be nice. Thanks for the review!

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Hey Michael! You should check out the wingman original.

[@MikeLute]

@@TheGuitarGeekthx!

[@jagtone]

I'm not hearing anything like a Jazzmaster--maybe more like an SG or Yamaha with P-90s and a tune-a-matic (so not a Special). But it sounds great and looks killer. I love the arm bevel on the lower bout, too.

[@MrJingles021]

For not the exactly traditional bodies, they look amazing.

[@skaz777]

When i got my Jazzmaster w/Bigsby, i thought i had arrived to Fender surf euphoria. ‘Turned out it was the most un Fender sounding guitar of any Fender, or even knock off Fender i ever had and never warmed up to it. It helped me to obtain my Acoustisonic though.

[@fuzzypoet1018]

I really like the Wingman's sound, it's offset design and tuner features, but it's no Jazzmaster. I've got a 2006 Fender MIJ '66 and it's got an entirely different sound. Again, Baum's got a very cool guitar, and it sounds great, but if you want that Jazzmaster sound, then you need a Fender Jazzmaster.

[@sooparticular]

it has absolutely zero resemblance in shape or sound to an actual jazzmaster....its just a kool guitar!!
