Which qualities best describe a Godin guitar? Sweetwater musicians consistently cite three: comfort, versatility, and exceptional appearance. So, it should come as no surprise that the Session T-Pro is cut from the same cloth. Constructed from top-shelf basswood and maple, this axe bears a rich, natural sound. Its true power, however, comes in the form of its Seymour Duncan humbucker and SSL-2 pickup system. Apart from tone, the Session T-Pro retains a smooth maple neck, versatile controls, and nickel-silver hardware, lending a mobile playing foundation for stage, studio, or practice scenarios. It's topped off with a unique pickguard, stunning gloss finish, and detail-laden fingerboard, solidifying its standing as a choice instrument and a work of art. If you need a representation of the Session T-Pro's overall performance, take a step back ? this axe truly looks as superb as it sounds.





Light, lush, and luxurious





Take it from us: once the Session T-Pro enters your grip, you'll have difficulty putting it down. For starters, courtesy of its basswood body, it's incredibly lightweight. A semi-gloss maple neck keeps movements up and down the fretboard efficient, providing unfettered access to all 22 frets ? especially when paired with the Session T-Pro's double-cutaway body shape. Regarding intonation, you'll find that the onboard Godin custom lock tuning machines and Graph Tech nut generate incredible sonic stability. It's all topped off with Godin's Tru-Loc Tremolo tailpiece, allowing you to find a comfortable resting position as you deliver rightfully massive dive bombs. From sit-down jazz jams to energetic onstage performances, the Session T-Pro provides the means for a comfortable playing experience.





A tradition of tantalizing guitar tone





Seymour Duncan has been Godin's primary pickup supplier for years. After hearing the Session T-Pro's humbucker and dual SSL-2 pickup combo in action, you'll understand why. The bridge-set Saturday Night Special humbucker is made with Alnico IV magnets, emitting vintage fire in the form of full-range cleans and thundering overdriven shreds. Likewise, the onboard SSL-2 single-coil pair drops classic S-style performance for innumerable tonal possibilities in seconds. Speaking of which, a recognizable 5-way pickup switch and volume and tone knobs adorn the Session T-Pro, providing near-instant access to any sound imaginable.





Proprietary Godin good looks





An attractive appearance is a crucial asset to every Godin guitar. Case in point: the Session T-Pro is among the most gorgeous instruments we’ve encountered at Sweetwater. The guitar’s nickel and silver hardware complement its semi-gloss neck and high-gloss body finish, amounting to an enamoring visual display further enhanced by its gorgeous golden brown tortoiseshell celluloid pickguard. Finer details include a Godin logo decal inlay on the headstock, meticulously placed black celluloid dot inlays, and tortoiseshell top hat volume and tone knobs.
