Godin

Godin is a Canadian company who make professional and innovative guitars. Their guitars are relatively sustainable, as well.

Their guitars are made by hand by the best luthiers in Canada, which means they can guarantee high quality guitars.

Sound possibilities

The Session HT Matte Black RN is a beautiful solid body guitar. The shape is inspired by the legendary Stratocaster, although the Session HT has a round shape. Furthermore, the guitar has two single-coil pickups and a humbucker pickup, which means the guitar has many different sound options. The humbucker sounds warm and full, and will have less feedback. The Single-coil pickups will sound brighter and cleaner. Both have advantages and disadvantages, and by installing them on the same guitar, you’ll have all the different possibilities on one guitar. With the five way switch you can decide which pickups you want to use. The three pickups can be used individually, but also in different combinations.

Materials

The body of the Session HT is made of basswood. Basswood is a softwood and has a great sustain. The guitar has a maple neck and a laurel fretboard. This is a great combination and will be very comfortable to play. Furthermore, Godin also used the best materials for the hardware, meaning the bridge and the tuners are very stable and strong. Consequently the tuning stability of the guitar is great. Additionally the matte black finish of the guitar gives it a professional but interesting appearance. The Session HT is thus a great and professional guitar!
