I have occasion to de-rod my C6 neck to do a few things, and when I set it back up, I'll have the opportunity to do it any way I want 😃. I don't currently play C6 using the pedals and levers.. I just play it using slants and pulls. I'm looking for ideas from people that play the neck. I know that over time, people have quit using P4 (or moved it to a lever), put a D on top, ect... When I read copeds, it doesn't make a lot of sense because I don't know the basics (yet! 😄). It would be helpful if you guys that know the the neck could tell me the 3 or 4 MOST important changes for YOU.
Please list them in order of importance..
A). Must have
B). Must have
C). Would be nice..
D). If you have the room...
That sort of thing.
If you have a D on top, let me know that, too!
I really appreciate your time and consideration!
Edit to add: I'm looking for lever functions.. I have 4
Sorry I wasn't clear on that! 🙃
Thanks!

My copedant has most of the popular changes and a D string on top. My most used and essential knee levers are the 3rd string C to B and the 4th string A to Bb. Another change that I have on my pedal 8 is adding the 1st string D to D# change. It's really useful and comes for free as you don't need to add another pedal for it.
I like and use all of the other changes shown on my copedant but not sure they are essential or any more useful than the many other ideas I've seen on here.es.
I've opted to have pedal 4 do the inverse of pedal 6 instead of the traditional A to B changes. Both pedal 4 implementations are extremely useful and like many optional changes there are tradeoffs.

I've very happy with this copedent. I've got a couple more pedals and levers than the average C6 does, still use a G on top. a couple must-haves for me is raising Es to F and Cs to D

Thanks guys. Guess I'll start with raising and lowering both 3 and 4.  |

Those are the standard changes. The only choice to make is which way round to put the string 4 ones. I wish they were the other way round only half the time so I leave them as they are.

I’m thinking string 3 on the right and 4 on the left. Seems that lowering 4 would be the least used.. ? Thinking b7 vs #5? I really don’t know enough yet!😳
Oops! Forgot about all the 4m chords....dang! 😃 This is gonna be fun! |

I lower 4 a lot with P5 to get that 7b5 chord.
It depends what music you play, but if you look at the published setups of well-known players by far the commonest is
LKL lowers 4
LKR raises 4
RKL lowers 3
RKR raises 3
and I don't see how you can go wrong with that, at least as a starting point.

| Thanks! That’s the plan.. although I’ll lower 3 with RKR. I have my E9 Es on the right and lower to the right, so I’m thinking lowering the tonic will be the same on both necks. I need all the help I can get! 🤪 |
