Godin Guitars Releases the Radium Matte Green

godin Radium Matte Green

The newest addition to the Radium family will include Godin's custom Zebra humbucks and Cajun Nickel single-coil pickups.

Godin Guitars is proud to announce the launch of the Radium Matte Green as part of its high-quality Radium Series.


It offers an H-S-H pickup configuration for a multitude of tonal possibilities with a pair of hot Custom Godin Zebra Humbuckers and a Godin Custom Cajun Nickel in the middle. It also presents other unique features compared to the more traditional single cutaway solid-bodies, such as a short-scale (24.75") set-neck and a highly stable 3&3 headstock design for comfortable playing and bending.

The guitar also comes equipped with a re-invented vintage-style control plate, which has a volume, push-pull tone, and an angled 5-way switch that follows the natural sweep of your right hand for easy pickup selection.

This model has Canadian Laurentian Basswood body with an eye-catching Matte Green semi-gloss finish and a Mahogany neck, topped by a Rosewood fretboard. The Radium Matte Green…taking it up a notch

Godin's long-standing reputation of quality and vision is put on display with this new model—built entirely in Canada.

A 26 1/4" scale length, beastly pickups, and buttery playability provoke deep overtone exploration and riotous drop-tuning sounds.

A smooth, easy player that makes exploring extra scale length a breeze. Pickups have great capacity for overtone detail. Sounds massive with mid-scooped fuzz devices.

Hot pickups can obscure some nuance that the wealth of overtones begs for.

No matter how strong your love for the guitar, there are days when you stare at your 6-string and mutter under your breath, “Ugh … you again?” There are many ways to rekindle affection for our favorite instruments. You can disappear to Mexico for six months, noodle on modular synths, or maybe buy a crappy vintage car that leaves you longing for the relative economy of replacing strings instead of carburetors. But if you don’t want to stray too far, there are also many variations on the 6-string theme to explore. You can poke around on a baritone, or a 6-string bass, or multiply your strings by two until you reach jingle-jangle ecstasy.

A familiar-feeling looper occupies a sweet spot between intuitive and capable.

Intuitive operation. Forgiving footswitch feel. Extra features on top of basic looping feel like creative assets instead of overkill.

Embedded rhythm tracks can sneak up on you if you’re not careful about the rhythm level.

Maybe every guitarist’s first pedal should be a looper. There are few more engaging ways to learn than playing along to your own ideas—or programmed rhythms, for that matter, which are a component of the new DigiTech JamMan Solo HD’s makeup. Beyond practicing, though, the Solo HD facilitates creation and fuels the rush that comes from instant composition and arrangement or jamming with a very like-minded partner in a two-man band.
