The Session HT MN’s basswood body is sourced near Godin’s Quebec base camp from the Laurentian mountains, which lets Godin personally monitor tonewood quality and selection while preserving the original Session HT’s lightweight feel. With a trio of Godin custom HSS pickups onboard, the Session HT MN hosts a full spectrum of humbucker and single-coil pickup options. With these pickups and optimized low weight, the Session HT MN helps you find tones quickly while preserving stamina so that projects stay moving. Treat yourself to the outstanding Godin Session HT MN from Sweetwater today ? your back and ears will thank you later!





HSS perfection





The two custom single-coil GS1s in the neck and middle position on the Session HT MN 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 MN 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 MN 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!
