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.

Rated 5/5
Amazing guitar
One of the best I have ever owned. Incredibly comfortable neck. Great tonal range, really good pickups. It's like if someone crossed a telecaster and a Les Paul and then made it awesome.
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
whats to say, its a Godin!
love this guitar. the neck is really comfortable, not to big, not too skinny. fretwork is excellent. and to me, one heck of a good looking guitar.
the pups are great. a bit less bite than my les paul humbuckers but theres still enough and the sound is creamy smooth. excellent sustain. not too heavy so its plenty comfortable for gigs. godin builds great guitars and this one is no exception. as ive said in other reviews, my litmus test is, "would i buy it again?" you bet, if something happened to it i would buy another right away.
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.
