Hi All,

I'm trying to find the original stock rodding chart for my Sierra Session S-12 Universal, the guitar came to me with an "0" pedal and some other copedent changes, and id really like to just put it back to stock. Do any of you have one ?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide
Brandon

There was another thread about this very recently, I'm not sure there exists such a beast. There is a primitive tech manual and some copedent charts on their website. Good luck

I appreciate the reply, I have already searched the forum, and have the manual, but someone out there has to have such a thing, in an old box of papers, or in the attic/basement. They made a lot of these guitars I'm confident someone somewhere has it Very Happy

If someone has one and wants something for the trouble/effort of digging it up PM me, and give me your terms


Thanks!
Brandon

Hi Charley,

Thanks for the reply, I also saw that one, and it looks like a useful copedent, however, it’s still not the stock configuration. I’ve already spent many hours searching the internet, the old forum, and this forum, it’s not out there. I’m hoping that someone out there has an old one on paper, or perhaps a stock Session or crown they’d be willing to chart?

Your guitar, if it came from the factory, must have had a custom copedent or was a modified special order. You'd probably need to find the original owner to know what that was.

The charts in the links they guys have given you are the stock charts.

Hi Jerry

The guitar is a 2001, I bought it a few weeks ago, who knows how many hands it passed through before I got it, it’s 18 years old- ergo my post. The charts in the above link, while certainly helpful for reference, do not match the factory copedent chart, and reflect someone’s custom setup( albeit similar). I want to change the current setup to the U-12 copedent on the Sierra site, I like that setup, plus it will give me some good experience if I want to change it around in the future.


I am looking for a rodding chart that matches this copedent:
