Godin Radiator 2020 Bourbon Burst - Rosewood Board - Made in CanadaThis is in really good condition - barely any signs of use. Like most of my guitars, it was an impulse buy and I haven't played it much.
Music Radar gave the Radiator 4.5/5 and the same from Guitarworld. Released in 2020. It’s a high quality guitar and good value for money. It's made in Canada. I have two other Godin guitars (S-type and T-type) and all three are very well made. It has a semi-gloss dark maple neck with rosewood board.
Weight is around 7lb 10oz.

Godin Progression with HDR (like a boost built in)
I bought this on a whim from eBay because it felt like a bargain. It’s not really my thing. It was a bit grubby when it arrived, but I cleaned it up and put some d’addario NYXL 10s on it, and it looks great. Has a nice low action and neck is quite like a Fender modern C.
Nothing really to report in the way of marks beyond a little swirling when caught in the right light. No noticeable fret wear. Just missing the trem arm, but should be easy to buy a cheap replacement.
The headstock says assembled in the USA from parts hand crafted in Canada.
Comes in a good quality Godin gig bag. This looks brand new too.
Description
The Godin Progression is the next evolution of the single-coil guitar. It features all the “slap & spank” you’ll ever need, as well as extremely consistent volume output between the Godin GS-2 pickups and the unexpected power & crunch that you wouldn’t expect from a single-coil guitar. The Progression combines a 25 1/2" scale neck with the added snap of a rock maple neck along with the added bonus of the High-Definition Revoicer.
H.D.R. High-Definition Revoicer
The H.D.R. revoices and augments the frequency range of each pickup and allows the player to go from passive to active pickups with the simple push of a button. The H.D.R. provides extra bite, dynamic response and redefines the character of each pickup. It’s like having 2 sets of pickups in 1 guitar for 5 pure passive tones + 5 pure active tones.

Comments
I had no real idea what to expect the Double Standard to feel like going from its looks. So if you're eyeing up this listing and feeling tempted (and you really should be!), behind the fairly industrial look is a thoroughly refined instrument that feels very premium and plays as well as anything I've ever tried. I've found it totally addictive to play. Oh and I've never met Rich but he was really lovely to buy from.
