Radicaster
Where it all started back in 1980, the Radicaster is still our most popular model today.
The elegant lines of this solid body, double-cutaway, bolt-neck instrument represents the guitar we always wanted – and knew that others wanted too. As with all our guitars, the Radicaster is built using only the highest quality woods and hardware. Standard Radicaster features include:
- Zion design, extended double-cutaway, in your choice of Swamp Ash, Alder, Basswood, or Mahogany
- 22 fret neck with 12” radius and comfortable “Modified D” back profile (neck is slightly thinner on the treble side for more comfortable playing)
- Zion Fixed Bridge or Wilkinson VS-100 Tremolo and locking Sperzel tuners
- DiMarzio or Seymour Duncan pickups in your configuration choice: HH, SSS, or SSH. Traditional pickguard mount or elegant rear-routed body mount
- 5-Way or 3-Way blade pickup selector switch, Master volume, and tone controls
- Your choice of finishes
- Premium Gig-Bag

Radicaster
“I wanted a versatile guitar, and that is exactly what I got. With the five position pickup selector and the Push/Pull capability, I can pretty much get any sound I want to. From twang to heavy metal … the tremolo does a great job of staying in tune. You can tell the guitar is well built by how it rings out when NOT PLUGGED IN! It’s a real pleasure to play.”
