Get the Best of Both Worlds with Godin

The Godin Radium strikes the perfect balance between two of Godin’s most beloved models — the Stadium and the Radiator. Even the name Radium is a combination of the two names. Its single-cut basswood body is loaded with three custom Godin pickups in an HSH configuration. The humbuckers create thick, punchy tones while the Cajun single-coil adds a bright spank to the overall sound. It has a set maple neck and a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard that plays effortlessly. If you’re torn between the Stadium and the Radiator, why not get the best of both worlds? Choose the Radium. You’ll be happy you did.

Combining Two of Godin’s Most Beloved Models

The Radium takes the best elements from the Godin Radiator and Stadium and combines them to create an entirely new instrument. This T-style guitar inherits its shape, control configuration, and single-coil pickup from the Stadium. The short 24-3/4" scale length, 3x3 tuning machine configuration, and Godin humbuckers are inherited from the Radiator. Players who can’t decide between buying a T-style or LP-style guitar can rejoice. The Radium is the best of both worlds.

Covering serious sonic ground

The Radium has a trio of pickups and a redesigned switching configuration that allows it to cover almost any genre you can imagine. It’s loaded with three pickups — two humbuckers in the neck and bridge and a single-coil in the middle. The custom-wound Godin Zebra humbuckers create a powerful, punchy tone that’s perfect for blues and garage rock. The custom Cajun Nickel middle pickup pumps out bright and spanky single-coil sounds. The Radium sports a vintage-style control plate with redesigned electronics to give you extra tonal versatility. It’s loaded with an angled 5-way pickup selector switch that’s angled to replicate the natural motion of your hand for easy pickup selection. The control plate is rounded out by a master volume and push-pull tone pot that engages the coil-splitting function.

Made with locally sourced tonewoods

When you think about Canada, your mind may not immediately jump to guitar building. Godin is on a mission to change that. They offer high-end instruments at an exceptionally low price because of their commitment to using as much locally-sourced timber as possible. This cuts down on transportation costs and helps preserve tonewood resources. Sweetwater is proud to partner with Godin and put their unique instruments in the hands of players around the country.

Godin Radium Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:

  • Custom Godin humbuckers pump out hot, punchy notes that are perfect for blues and rock
  • Cajun single-coil pickup delivers clean, glassy tones
  • Ergonomically placed 5-way switch follows the sweep of your hand
  • Push/pull tone knob engages coil-splitting abilities
  • Lightweight basswood body feels comfortable on your shoulder
  • Maple neck feels at home in your hand

Rated 5/5

It’s fantastic!

This Godin is outstanding. I have an American Pro II telecaster, and a G&L S-500 Fullerton (US custom build), as well as a parts caster Strat. This guitar has a build quality on par with those guitars.

Great sustain, lots of pickup configuration options, and a classic look make this thing a long term keeper. I'd say if I could only keep one my guitars it would be this one.

The fret work and neck are perfect. I actually love the blocky neck joint some complain about. The heel of my hand fits perfectly and let's me access higher notes with ease.

The finish is beautiful. Prices recently went up on all guitars, but even at the new price point this one is a steal.
Music background: Long-time player. Mostly home studio.

Best guitar I’ve ever owned.

This is the most amazing guitar I have ever owned. Plays great, feels amazing! Bought a demo of this guitar a few months ago with just a small scratch on the headstock, the rest of the guitar looked brand new. Thank you to Nick for amazing customer service. Thank you Sweetwater!
Rated 5/5

Buttery and Versatile Guitar

This guitar is a joy to play. It has such a fat/phat neck that I've named mine Hank Hill. It feels perfect in my hands, and I love the satin finish. It feels almost like playing on the bare wood.

You can get three guitars' sounds in one with this guitar. The humbuckers each have a soulful, deep, vintage-like Gibsony sound. When coil split:

1. Truly Tele-like. Plenty of twang.
2. Just like Strat position 2.
3. Like a Tele neck position, but clearer.
4. Just like Strat position 4.
5. Very dark, yet not muddy. Perfect for jazz with the tone rolled off.

The only ding I would give this guitar is due to the bridge likely being made of nickel, as I have a nickel allergy. I just replaced it with a brass wraparound bridge, and now it REALLY has a Tele-like soul.
Music background: Playing guitar for 21 years

Godin is an under-rated, under-appreciated, beast of a guitar maker

Got this one recently, my 4th Godin (Made in Canada). None of them including this one have disappointed me in anyway. All of them rival Japanese and USA quality in my opinion. Plays like butter, sounds as good as my guitars that are $1800 to $2500. Looks better in hand. You need this guitar if you appreciate quality at a price that won't grab your wife's (or Husband's) attention. (hopefully)

Incredibly versatile guitar

I bought a Godin hollowbody and I really liked it, and I wanted another Godin. I mostly play LP-style guitars, and I wanted something a little bit different, that wasn't too expensive. I ended up getting a Godin Radium, and I'm very glad that I did. It's got fantastic single-coil and Tele tones, and coil-splitting that works. It even has LP tones, in addition to its other sounds. I didn't expect this guitar to have so many usable voices. Takes gain well, too. The guitar was put together perfectly, no QC issues to speak of, set up to play out of the box. Looks fantastic, incredibly comfortable to play. This Godin Radium makes me want to buy another Godin guitar. Thanks as always to my Sales Engineer, Ian!
