There’s something quietly confident about the Godin Radium. It doesn’t scream for attention, but the moment you pick it up, you realize it was built by people who care deeply about how a guitar actually plays and sounds. This 2020 Radium in Carbon Black is a great example — understated, purposeful, and incredibly responsive in the hands.
Condition is like new. It’s been properly set up and plays effortlessly, with a fast, comfortable neck and low action that invites you to keep playing longer than planned. The Carbon Black finish has that smooth, satin-leaning look Godin does so well — modern, clean, and timeless without feeling sterile.
Tonally, this guitar is far more versatile than it first appears. The Radium runs an HSH pickup layout, giving you full humbucker authority at the neck and bridge with a single-coil in the middle to keep things articulate and open. You can go from warm, rounded cleans to punchy edge-of-breakup tones, all the way into thick, driven sounds — and the in-between positions deliver that snap and clarity you’d expect from a great single-coil guitar. It’s one of those setups that covers a lot of ground without ever feeling complicated.
Everything functions exactly as it should. The tone and volume knobs are not original, but the originals are included and will ship with the guitar. The truss rod cover is missing, which is purely cosmetic and does not affect playability or function in any way.
This one comes with the factory Godin gig bag, and it’s exactly the kind of guitar that reminds you why Godin has such a loyal following — thoughtful design, excellent craftsmanship, and a feel that punches well above its price point.
Like all my guitars, this one’s been cared for and dialed in—no guesswork, no surprises, just a great instrument that’s ready to play. I personally inspect and test every guitar before it ships, making sure it’s in the exact condition I’d want to receive myself. These guitars come from me, not a shop—each one gets the kind of attention and care only a real guitar lover gives. Ships fast and fully insured
