Session

The Session R-HT Pro Bourbon Burst 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 guitar is also made of great materials. The body is made of basswood. This is a lightweight tonewood with sufficient sturdiness to be a body. Furthermore, basswood is very common which makes it quite sustainable. The guitar has a maple neck and a rosewood fretboard. This is a popular combination because it creates a sturdy and comfortable neck. Additionally, they have used the best materials for the hardware. For example, the guitar has a set bridge and sturdy tuners, so the guitar's tuning is always reliable.
