Baum Original Series Leaper Tone Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar in Deep Sea Blue

The Baum Leaper Tone is a refined, sophisticated-looking instrument perfectly-designed for vintage guitar aficionados. Tipping its hat to the classic '50s/'60s aesthetic with its lightweight and elegant semi-hollow body, the Leaper Tone also boasts proprietary 'Goldsound' pickups voiced to provide inspiring sonics suitable for a number of genres.

Key Features

• Goldsound Pickups — Acclaimed, custom electronics. Modern/retro design with roots in the classic “Goldfoil” aesthetic. Tailored to bring the best out of the guitar and to provide a sound that you can make your very own.
• Baum 'Levitator Roller Bridge' — Innovative “rolling” string saddles greatly reduce unwanted tuning slips.
• Bigsby Tremolo — Elegant, old-school vibrato. Warble chords or lead lines whenever inspiration strikes!
• Semi-Hollow Mahogany Body — Yields an airy and sustain-rich sound. A fantastic tonal platform for the electronics.
• Roasted Maple Neck — Super-stable, moisture-free material guarantees excellent tuning stability. Finished with thin satin lacquer for smooth playability.
• Rosewood Fingerboard — Luxurious, silky-feeling material under the fingers. Enhances mid-range warmth.
• 12” Fingerboard Radius — Strikes the perfect balance between contemporary and vintage dimensions.
• Medium Jumbo Frets — Offer a controllable feel for wide vibrato and pitch-perfect string bends.
• Bolt-On Construction — Produces a snappy note response for an immediate playing experience.
• Baum 'Original Series' — This model is part of Baum's 'Original Series' of instruments, designed in Denmark and built in South Korea.

Goldsound 'Rewind 52' Pickups

Many modern-day guitar manufacturers will equip their instruments with aftermarket electronics. However, Baum is proud to custom design and expertly spec its own pickups — because they "want to tailor the Baum sound", as well as add their own visual style.

Baum's Leaper Tone model comes fitted with a pair of their Goldsound 'Rewind 52' pickups. Based on the iconic '52 "Goldtop" P90, the Rewind 52 has been tweaked to fit Baum's guitars and more significantly — the sound of today. It has a tight low-end, raunchy mid-range and a bold texture with a crispy top-end.
