Godin Session LTD Left-handed Blackburst

For our left handed friends, the Godin Session line has morphed into just the Session LTD. Featuring a more contoured body, glossy finishes and a Seymour Duncan SH-11 bridge pickup, the Session LTD sets a new level for value and performance.

This is a discontinued model available at a special savings:

Crafted by Godin in Canada, the Session LTD features:

• Canadian basswood body
• 25.5" scale 12" radius maple neck
• 2 Godin GS-1 single coil pickups
• 1 Seymour Duncan Custom SH-11 humbucker pickup with coil split
• 3-Spring vibrato bridge
• Volume, Tone controls with pull tone control for coil split
• 5-way pickup switch
• Schaller strap locks
• Godin padded gig bag

The LTD sounds as good as it looks. The single-single-humbucker pickup combination belts out vintage-inspired tones that sparkle, but have enough low end attack to make it through the mix. Through our Fender Bassman, it's clean tones were glassy and full bodied, making positions 1 and 2 very nice for percussive rhythm playing. The bridge pickup in this model is upgraded to a Seymour Duncan Custom-Custom SH-11, which uses Alnico 2 magnets for a smooth and bouncy low end response, ample midrange muscle and high end shimmer without any metallic sharpness. Every position pairs well with a little gain too, retaining note definition, while the midrange grind receives an authoritative boost. For true single coil twang, pull up the tone knob to split the SH-11 and take advantage of its crisp but musical high end attack.

Overall the feel, finish and playability of this North American-made guitar is insanely good for the price, and it comes with one of Godin's high quality padded gig bags. For a guitarist moving up to the next level, or just someone on a budget who needs a real instrument, the Godin Session LTD is hard to beat.
