When it comes to constructing state-of-the-art guitars with impressive sounds to match, Godin's Session R-HT Pro is more proof the company has the process down pat. From its reversed headstock to its impressive array of controls, this axe is ready for primetime. Guitarists here at Sweetwater dig the rosewood fingerboard that allows for seamless note transitions up and down the smooth-playing maple neck. And when it comes to tone, a H/S/S pickup configuration and volume and push-pull controls will churn out everything from tight rhythms and sharp solos to lush chord arrangements. If you’re in the market for a versatile guitar with attractive sounds to match, the Godin Session R-HT Pro should be at the top of your list.





Sturdy build provides excellent sound transfer





The Session R-HT Pro is ripe with splendid tonewoods. With Canadian Laurentian basswood paired with a maple neck and rosewood fingerboard, your notes will ring true and crystal clear. With the addition of Godin’s “acoustically tuned” semi-gloss finish and a fixed bridge, your strings will be allowed to move more freely to enhance the authenticity of your vibrations. When paired with a carefully selected pickup collection and an accessible control panel below the pickguard, you’ll be amazed by the amount of sounds this axe can produce.





Access every facet of your performance





The sleek Session R-HT Pro's reversed headstock makes tuning easier on the fly, so you can make minute changes to your intonation incredibly fast. Likewise, a 5-way switch and a volume/tone knob duo are conveniently placed and easy to access, letting you vary your tonal output at any given moment with stark efficiency.





Any tone, anywhere





With a Seymour Duncan ’59 SH-1b pickup in the bridge and two Lace Sensor Hot Gold pickups for the middle and neck ? plus a 5-way switch and a volume/push-pull tone knob ? the Session R-HT Pro can summon almost any sound you can imagine. You’ll be able to experiment from soaring leads to mellow plucks, making this guitar a workhorse for both the studio and the stage. When paired with your favorite amp and effects, the bounds of the Session HT’s sound are only constricted by your own creativity.
