![]() ![]() ![]() It has a traditional magnetic volume, tone, and 3-way toggle, plus an acoustic/mix/magnetic 3-way mini-selector and acoustic volume/blend control to easily create your own custom sound. Radium-X has dual outputs that you can use as separate electric/acoustic outs or as a combined mix-out. This highly flexible combination of electronics can be controlled independently or blended together to create unprecedented electric-acoustic voice combinations. Radium-X's incredible acoustic voice is created using a tremolo that uses six LR-Baggs HEX saddle transducers. This versatile magnetic pickup combo is capable of delivering powerful, warm distortion to clear, glassy tones that are pleasing to a wide variety of players and musical styles. Radium-X is a powerful electric-acoustic guitar with two Seymour Duncan Jazz SH-2 pickups, and a Bare Knuckles Boot Camp True Grit Zebra bridge. Made in Canada, it features a custom-shaped chambered mahogany body, a carved swamp ash top, and a mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard.

It’s a thoughtful design, and straight out of its gigbag is a really good player that’s also light in weight. This Radium-X’s unshowy, quite classic dress hides some superb sounds along with plenty of choice in how you use them. ![]() While the modern ‘hybrid’ electric with acoustic sounds goes back to the early ’90s, it remains a hugely valid tool for the right player needing to cover both bases, or the creative musician looking for new hybrid sounds by combining the two. And going mixed mono into an AER, aside from adding to the acoustic guitar illusion, you’ve got your jazz gigs covered where the piezo can add just a little clarity to that neck humbucker. It’s not going to fool anyone that you’re playing a nicely mic’d Martin, but the acoustic-like brightness and zing can certainly cover acoustic intros and the like in those tricky cover-band sets. Nevertheless, the actual piezo ‘acoustic’ voice is good. There’s no master volume now, so if, for example, you get a nice balance between the two sounds but just want to lower your level, then you need to pull back both volumes. The gold knobs act on the mags and the black becomes a volume for the piezo. Using the separate outputs to two separate amps things change again. ![]() In ‘both-on’ mode the black knobbed control now acts as a blend for the piezo, while the magnetic volume and tone also act as master controls. Switching to piezo mode, still from the mixed mono output, that lower piezo blend control doesn’t function and the magnetic volume becomes your master, the tone just pulling back some high treble right at the end of its travel. ![]()
