Godin Session HT Review 

really enjoy your videos homie, I have no idea what you're talking about but you're really selling me on these products.

These are great guitars. Thanks for the vid!

Thanks muchly for this review. I love Godin guitars. I have a Session and a Session Custom (neck hum & bridge Single). I'm going for a Stadium next, Godins take on a Tele. My American Fenders are gradually being shown the back door. Thanks

I got a “blemished” matte black one of these on reverb for $450. It quickly became my favorite gigging guitar. It’s light as a feather, plays like a dream. I am experimenting with the pickups. They aren’t bad, but they are very tame and “vanilla”. I just had some GFS pickups installed, they gave it more bite but I may opt for something different . I have other more popular and expensive guitars in my collection but i keep coming back to the Godin. It just feels like home.

Fantastic video! I love your style of video, instant sub.

I got so lucky last night and bought this exact guitar on Marketplace for $740. Nothing with it and have no idea why he listed it so low. Took my chance and super happy with it. I previously had the Godin Sessions discontinued one that was around a $650 brand new. Finally upgraded to this beauty ❤

Great video, thanks!❤

Great video, great playin` and of course a very great guitar !!!

Great review and playing! I've got a couple Seagull acoustics and a Godin Stadium HT and I absolutely love the way they feel (the neck is one of the best I've ever played). The value is nuts on these, and it is so good to know that my money is helping support fellow Canadians.

Great review, man! I just got my second Godin (a stadium) after falling in love with my first (a radium CB). I'm looking at a Session now, but I really wish they'd make a Jag/Jazz style guitar.

Godin also makes La Patrie classical nylon guitars. I love mine ! Plays well and sounds sweet.

I love my session ht!!

That godan is beautiful I love that hutiar it's nice to c different makers b sides fender and Gibbs very nice im Canadian so I love it but live in ny love it great gutiar

Appreciate this video a lot. I live in Ontario. Losing sleep over which to pick. Fender player plus or this. And I only own old godin guitars of over 10 years. Reason I like Godin is the build quality and design, but the reason I'm debating the fender is for the alnico pickups and maple fretboard. Not sure yet 😅 plus I hate the location of the volume knob on the fender.

My acoustic is a Simon&Patrick cedar. I love it.

That chug was glorious! Metal guitar in disguise....

I have the same tobacco burst. I love the sound upgrade from my epi LP. I love the sound of the bridge pot pulled and the middle pup. It has a volume boost and kind of an ambience or presence upgrade to my ears. It is perfect for leads or just rocking out ! I like the different sounds however my neck and middle position adds an unpleasant rattling noise of the strings I don't care for. I wish the neck pup sounded like a Strat's. I think I need a better setup and pups.

Cool! :)

IMO this is the most accurate review of the Session. I recently bought a used 2017 Session with the trem. I can live with the single coils for playing clean. But that humbucker just says "country" music. And I don't do country. Can't get a good hard rock/light metal sound with it from a Katana. So maybe a JB in the bridge eventually ? Regardless, this one has very low miles on it and the construction and feel just screams quality. For $500 from a local music store, can't complain. And hey, it's Canadian !

I've had a Seagul for many years. I didn't know they are owned by Godin. The Seagul is exceptional.

Great review, any chance you could do a comparison between the session HT and newer R-HT Pro? Haven't found a breakdown yet on the key differences. Thanks

Just subscribed and liked this video. I literally just bought the Arctik Blue version of this guitar yesterday and am loving it. Did you ever swap out the pick-ups and, if so, what did you replace them with? Thanks!

Nice ax. I've always been a fan of Godin. The pickups sound very good, and for ceramics they are warm. But if I had my choice I'd put a Duncan Custom Custom in the bridge and SSL-5s in the middle and neck. Otherwise, I can't think of any other needed improvements. I'm a fan of basswood, but I'm not familiar with the characteristics of Laurentian basswood. I like pairing basswood with warm but bright pickups and the Custom Custom or Saturday Night Special which Godin uses for other models would work fine in the bridge. I'm not a trem guy either, opting for hardtails or TOMs since 1988 when I tired of all the tuning issues I had with Floyds. I rarely use standard trems either. I love the resonance and sustain of fixed bridges. Cool demo, cool guitar.

Great review. How is the upper fret access to the 22nd fret?

Gol-Dang. I don't know, that name sounds Chinese. But that thing sounds thick and buttery, like syrup, eh... That's some solid craftsmanship. Could probably play hockey with that thing... 👍

Had the session with floating trem for nearly a decade, my favorite guitar by a mile but the Godin pickups definitely let it down. The humbucker sounds thin, with low output and can't handle moderate to high gain well. The single coils have great output, chim and bottom end but lack clarity IMO. I'm going to drop in a dimarzio Norton and Cruiser pickups soon :]

Great video, the cinematography and color grading is phenomenal. Earned a new sub. Question- I’m deciding between this guitar (not the HT), and a G&L Tribute, and a Squier Classic Vibe 60’s. Which would you recommend? I’m lefty so I’m not fortunate enough to try them out in-store:(

Godin is my choice as well, guitars formidable 👌

Do you think $500 is a good deal for this guitar? my current daily is a Schecter C1 classic for my taste reference.

Tempting guitar. Curious how this compares to a Silver Sky SE?

I laughed when he kept repeating Godin 😄

SW Specs say Silver Leaf Maple Body...wth SW?

Hmm, interesting. It's funny that you only talk of the positves and make no mention of the negatives. I bought the Trans Cream model just recently during a Black Friday sale. Supposedly brand new for $769 CAD. When playing it at ther store I pulled the tone knob to coil tap and it came off in my hand - other than that everything else seemed fine. The guy fixed the coil tap switch took 50 bucks off hte orice and I got the guitar home - and that's when I discovered all the iother little things that Godin chooses NOT to do in the build and final QC inspection. There is a crack in the body where the jack is fitted because someone tightened the screws tooo much and the plate has a very small crack. - this should have never passed QC. There is no shielding in the control cavity nor on the cover. I did not bother to take the scratch plate off to check the pickup housing, but I'm certain that is also lacking shielding owing to the amount of hum I get in positions 5, 4 and 2. The wiring in the control cavity looks like a jumbled mess, like it was put together by a novice with a soldering iron. Maybe I got a bad one, I don't know, but the point I am tryibng to make is that Godin's street price for this guitar is $1149 CAD - at that price the things I stated above should NOT be an issue at all, considering they brag about the instrument being made in Canada with all Canadian parts. I have a Made in Indonesia G&L Asat Classic Bluesboy Semi Hollow which cost me l$679 pre COVID that does NOT have any issues at all, and is shielded where required. So much for all the hype. My problem is that I like the look and feel of the Godin, so I will spend some dosh to bring it up to the standard Godin should have done ion the first place. There are those who might disagree with the above, but this has been my experience with a much hyped instrument, and utit has not been a good one.

My name....is Neo

oh nooooo...you forgot to use your tape measure...the one you found in the attic of an old barn in April, 1796....how dare you Agent Smith!

There vintage stuff have better pickups and are underpriced pretty much everywhere I look

All was good till you said basswood, not a big fan.

My Art & Lutherie makes my Martin hang it’s head and stand in the corner😂😂😜🤘

That guitar beats a Fender hands down and it’s cheaper ❤️
