Impeccable Design and Playability from Godin

If you are looking for versatility, playability, and amazing stage-ready design, the Godin Session HT is an incredible solidbody electric guitar at a great price point. The Session HT is cut to a classic offset body design with a resonant, lightweight silver maple body. A smooth maple neck with Indian laurel fingerboard offers incredible playability and response. A versatile trio of 2 single-coil pickups and 1 humbucker offers outstanding tone-shaping that spans genres, letting you throw open the doors of exploration. A hardtail bridge also offers impeccable sustain and tuning support — ideal for soaring leads and lilting rhythms alike.

Trio of sound and tone

The 2 custom single-coil GS1s in the neck and middle position on the Session HT deliver all the warm, clear single-coil tone that players love. Paired with a custom Godin humbucker in the bridge, the GS1s deliver incredible tone that can be shaped to your liking with a push-pull split in the Tone control, a Volume control, and a 5-way switch. Dial up the punch of your single-coils for soaring, chimey leads, and jump to the bridge humbucker when you want to bring the growl and crunch. Needless to say, this trio has been a huge hit among guitarists here at Sweetwater!

Bridge to great sustain!

The hardtail bridge on the Session HT provides more sustain and tuning stability than a traditional tremolo, letting you go places with your bends that will delight you and your audience. A hardtail bridge leaves more wood in the body, increasing the resonance and enhancing the overall tone of the guitar. The strings on the Session HT sit snugly in the hardtail bridge and nut without any pinching or binding. The results are amazing tone and epic sustain, so bend away and let those notes ring!

  • Classic offset solidbody with incredible design and playability at an amazing price point
  • Resonant, lightweight silver maple body with semigloss finish for stage-ready looks

Solid Electric Guitar!

This is my first 'true' electric guitar - I've owned multiple acoustics, and a hybrid guitar. The feel of this guitar is amazing, solid, and well built. The maple neck with Indian laurel fingerboard is solid, and feels comfortable - not too chunky, but not super thin either. It feels just right! I was initially concerned about the Indian laurel fingerboard, but I have not had a complaint about it since picking up the guitar! It's smooth to bend on, and looks fantastic! The push-pull tone pot, while it feels 'less substantial' than the volume pot, still adds a nice ability to get a little bit more of the traditional S style guitar sound - but then using the humbucker, you are able to get bighting, clear and sharp lead tones! I personally love the neck single coil pickup as I prefer the 'deeper and richer' tones of a neck pickup in general - but have been pleasantly surprised with all the pickup positions and abilities to mix in the coil tap on the Humbucker with positions 4 & 5. The sustain on this guitar is out of this world - able to hold a note for seemingly forever!!! My only negative comment: the model I received was fairly dark in the 'burst', looking more matte black than a traditional burst paint - but has started to lighten up over time showing the gorgeous Canadian basswood underneath! I have about 40 hours of playing time thus far on this gorgeous and well built guitar, and very much looking forward to countless hours after this - I have a feeling this guitar will remain in rotation, and in my collection indefinitely! If you are considering a Godin, stop your search, you have found your guitar!
