GUITAR STUFFS.

Jon the Art Guy
I got one of my dream guitars, and I couldn't be happier.

Anyone have a hardtail guitar that they've changed the bridge out on? Anyone have particular tastes, especially for players with bendy playstyle?

What is it?  I'm not very well up on guitars unless it's a well known Gibson or Fender, or something with a pointy head

Godin Radiator??
Congrats!
They're great guitars and, as a french Canadian, I'm a bit ashamed of not owning a Godin so far. The Montreal semi-hollow is particularily sweet and on my "one of these days" list.

The top one, a Godin Radiator. (mine's the same color combo)

For an American-assembled with gray-market awesome Canadian wood, these things are stupid-cheap. I got ripped off paying $275, but I was about to pay $400 for an Epi Nighthawk RI.

So, it's two pretty beefy single-coils, somewhere around Filtertrons or vintage p90s in push. There's no switch, just two volume knobs wired parallel and a tone. It's practically hollow; there's a lobe of wood under the upper, and then everything else is routed out except for where the bridge mounts. The electronics are all mounted on that huge pickguard.

plenty of room for veroboards. :D

This gives me baaaaaad ideas, like calling Guitarfetish and ordering a few pickguard sheets and setting up different pickup plates for it. There's also a bigsby-style topmount tremolo from GFS I'd like to stick on it.

I dunno. The neck is a nice 12" radius so it's nice and easy to play, these pickups sound SO good...I may have found my "the one". This one is going with me.

I haven't played any of the other Godins, but if you're wanting any sort of vintage, pre humbucker type sound, this does it.
