Godin Session HT Electric Guitar - Matte Black | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Godin Session HT is a versatile solid-body electric guitar built in North America and designed to deliver exceptional tone, playability, and stage-ready style at an accessible price point. Featuring an H-S-S pickup configuration, a hardtail bridge, and an optimized matte finish, this guitar is engineered for players who demand creative range without compromise. From intermediate players stepping up their game to gigging musicians seeking a reliable workhorse, the Session HT is a dream solid-body electric that punches well above its price.
Product Overview
The Session HT body is constructed from Canadian Laurentian Basswood — a lightweight, resonant tonewood that provides a balanced frequency response with clear highs and a warm, focused low end. The matte black finish isn't just a visual statement; Godin's optimized matte surface is designed for enhanced tonal deflection, contributing to the guitar's lively acoustic resonance and natural sustain.
The Maple neck is topped with an Indian Laurel fingerboard featuring a comfortable 12" radius and 22 frets, offering smooth, fast playability whether you're working through intricate chord voicings or ripping single-note lines. The 25.5" scale length provides the familiar feel and string tension that players of classic solid-body electrics expect, while the GraphTech nut and 18:1 machine heads ensure precise, stable tuning from first position to the upper registers.
Two Godin GS-1 single-coil pickups in the neck and middle positions deliver the clear, glassy tones ideal for clean playing and rhythm work, while the Godin Custom Humbucker at the bridge adds thick, articulate crunch and sustain for heavier styles. The push-pull tone control unlocks additional tonal combinations beyond the standard 5-way selector, giving players an impressive range of voices from a single guitar. The hardtail bridge anchors string energy directly into the body for maximum sustain and rock-solid tuning stability.
Ideal For
- Gigging musicians seeking the best versatile solid-body electric guitar for multiple genres
- Intermediate players ready to upgrade to a North American-made instrument with professional-grade components
- Rock, blues, and country players who need H-S-S pickup versatility in a single stage-ready guitar
- Studio recording artists looking for a lightweight, resonant electric with a broad tonal palette
- Players who value hardtail bridge stability for consistent tuning under heavy playing conditions
Key Features
H-S-S Pickup Configuration with Push-Pull Tone Two Godin GS-1 single coils and a Godin Custom Humbucker cover everything from glassy clean tones to thick, high-gain crunch. The push-pull tone knob expands available pickup combinations beyond the standard 5-way switch for even greater tonal flexibility.
Hardtail Bridge for Sustain and Stability The hardtail bridge transfers string vibration directly to the body, maximizing sustain and eliminating the tuning drift associated with floating tremolo systems — a key advantage for players who tune frequently or use alternate tunings.
Optimized Matte Black Finish Godin's matte finish is engineered for enhanced tonal deflection, allowing the body to resonate more freely than a thick gloss coat would permit. The sleek, modern matte black look is equally at home on a club stage or in the studio.
Canadian Laurentian Basswood Body Basswood is a tried-and-true solid-body tonewood prized for its lightweight feel and balanced sonic character. The Canadian Laurentian Basswood used here contributes to the Session HT's comfortable weight of just 6.76 lbs.
Maple Neck with Indian Laurel Fretboard The Maple neck provides bright attack and clear note definition, while the Indian Laurel fretboard offers a smooth playing surface with tonal characteristics similar to rosewood — warm and slightly rich without muddiness.
