THE 000 - So triple-oh.
The Leaper Melody (Original Series) is Baum’s take on the 000 guitar — compact, musical, and crafted for players who wants the best of both worlds for finger picking and strumming.
The 000 size is often considered the most versatile acoustic as it works excellent for both strumming chords and finger picked melodies.
With a premium Sitka spruce top, solid mahogany back and sides, and a rosewood fretboard and bridge, it delivers warmth, balance, and clarity in every note no matter if you pick or plug.
The sleek 000-size body is paired with our signature C-neck for effortless playability all night, while elegant design touches add that unmistakable Baum character.
Thoughtfully designed in Denmark and handcrafted in small batches, the Leaper Melody is made to move with you — from rehearsal room to spotlight.

FOR THE PICKY PLAYERS.
The Leaper Melody (Original Series) is a 000 sized guitar that deliver the sweet spot between comfort and clarity for fingerpickers and strummers.
With a focused midrange and articulate response, they’re made for fingerpickers who crave nuance — and strummers who want every chord to sing loudly.
Originally built. Inspiring originality.

DESIGNED IN DENMARK
A good design combines functionality with style. Design is the choice of materials and how they work together: How they create the sound, weight and durability. The tactile feeling of neck shapes and satin lacquer. How each instrument is prepared for songs in studios and stages.
The look binds everything together and is the first thing you notice, but it's the final part in a good design process.
Our partnership with manufactures is based on mutual respect, understanding and know-how. We have specified what ‘Designed in Denmark’ actually means to us in 4 stages.
Make it last, make it timeless.

TONEWOODS FOR TOURING.
Leaper Melody is crafted of premium solid Mahogany back and sides.
This gives the Leaper Stage a balanced and warm low-end, a punhcy and vocal midrange, and a rich and crisp top-end.
The solid wood offer richer resonance, better sustain, and improved sound projection - and a sound that will only become even better as the wood ages.


JUST PLUG AND PLAY.
Fishman included.
The Leaper Melody is ready for both studios and stages, as it comes with a Fishman piezo pickup installed.
The piezo is stealthily installed, delivers a crisp and true tone of your guitar, and its undersaddle placement makes it hum and feedback resistant.
Don’t worry about bringing this to the stage. It’s ready.

Resonance, Refined.
Leaper Melody features a classic scalloped X-bracing for refined resonance, warmth, and dynamic response.
The scalloped bracings allows the solid Sitka spruce top to breathe freely, delivering rich mids, improved bass depth, and greater sustain—making the 000 perfect for fingerstyle players and strummers.
It truly brings the guitar to live under your fingers.

PLAY IT ALL NIGHT.
The Leaper Melody sports our modern C profile, which is the most popular neck profile for a reason. It’s comfortable to most players and for both strumming and finger picking.
Made of mahogany with a 12″ rosewood fretboard and a satin lacquer finish.

TUNED TO PERFECTION.
The Leaper Melody features the Baum Teardrop™ headstock, tuned by our 3-per-side Acoustic Precicion Tuners 18:1 ratio open-gear tuners, a beautiful rosewood cap , and a matching trussrod cover.
It’s so beautifully functional.
