I'm wondering how radon would come from a guitar? Seems highly implausible. If that was a joke, it wasn't a very good one.

Radon and Your Health​

Español (Spanish)

Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer after cigarette smoking. If you smoke and live in a home with high radon levels, you increase your risk of developing lung cancer. Having your home tested is the only effective way to determine whether you and your family are at risk of high radon exposure.

Cheap wood rots and causes radon

Better have your skull checked
Are you trying to justify your shit attempt at humor or are you saying that telecasters are made of cheap wood? That would be interesting as you own at least one telecaster.

Great job as always you creepy old ****

I just had radiation safety training last week (to use our portable XRF equipment) and we talked about Radon. Apparently, most of the rest of the world uses 20ug as the safety threshold. The EPA uses 4ug. So even if you are over that level of 4, you are generally safe. Also, that level assumes that you are living in that space for significant periods of time. So generally you wouldn't live in an unfinished basement long enough for it to be a problem.
Radon is a huge problem in Denver because we have a lot of roll-front Uranium deposits.

I had the sellers put in a mitigation system in 2009. They installed the pipe below the level that the sump pump would kick on, so if we have a high precip day, you can hear the ventilation system chugging on water. It's right under the master bedroom. It sucks. So I unplug it most of the time.

One or both of us would have our office(s) in the basement and figured better safe than dead, not be confused with braindead like @Angry Boomer
