GODIN RADIUM-X RUSTIC BURST

After over 30 years of hand-crafting award-winning multi-voice guitars, celebrated by players world-wide, we are proud to introduce the Godin Radium-X! Designed to be ultra versatile, the Godin Radium-X delivers both electric and acoustic tones, right at your fingertips!

Proudly made in Canada, this two-voice guitar features a chambered Mahogany body, carved Swamp Ash top, 25.5” scale Mahogany neck and Rosewood Fingerboard.

With a Seymour Duncan Jazz SH-2 at the neck and a Bare Knuckle Boot Camp True Grit Zebra at the bridge, the Radium-X is a powerhouse of tone. This diverse magnetic pickup combo is capable of delivering powerful, warm distortion to clear, glassy tones, appealing to a wide range of players and musical styles.

The Radium-X’s stunning acoustic voice comes courtesy of a custom-designed LR-Baggs X-Bridge tremolo with six built-in “HEX” saddle transducers.

This electronic combination can be controlled independently or blended together and offers an unprecedented range of electric-acoustic options to explore.

The Radium-X also incorporates dual output jacks that can be used as separate ‘electric/acoustic’ outs, or as a combined ‘mix’ out. It also has a traditional magnetic volume, tone and 3-way toggle, plus an ‘acoustic/mix/magnetic’ 3-way mini-selector and ‘acoustic volume/blend’ control to easily sculpt your sound.

Elevate your performance with the two-voice Radium-X!

The Godins I have played have all been excellent so I'd have no worries on the quality front. I'd like the pickups to either both be zebra or both be covered, the mismatch looks off to me. Also there could be a touch more cutaway to get to the top frets ideally, but I'd give that a go overall.

I've had a Godin with the dual outputs (acoustic/electric) and it's a great system. Fender and Taylor could learn something.
 
It's ok. The inlays are a bit over the top for me, but the plastic headstock overlay is the biggest negative visually. I don't like that. Paint the headstock black please.
 
It looks like a very practical guitar from a reputable builder. Excellent specs. Should be quite functional and versatile and hold up to years of regular playing. Godin seems to specialize in making the sorts of electric guitars people should play but don’t.

Has absolutely no sex appeal.
 
I love it right until the gaudy headstock plastic cover. With a plastic truss rod cover
mounted to that! What !! What!! The F!!!!!

I've always thought of Godin as really good. Never seen one in person, only going by what so any other people say. But, when I reading this, I really question their judgment. I love clean. I hate the Duncan Jazz. Sure, pickups are easy to change but, what else is wrong with it?
