Reversing controls

Please forgive if this has been covered extensively already...I did a search!

How do folks usually set it up?

Anyway, I reversed by controls from normal. Now, the tone knob is closest to my hand thanks to the stock wiring not being long enough. I plan to get the volume closest. Also, I rotated the pickup selector to the bridge pup is furthest away just as with stock.

Anyone care to share their prefs for control reversal?

Thanks!

If you don't Flip the Switch...Trade Pot Positions...and rewire it Properly, I don't see much reason to reverse it ?....but that's just me.

Did it once. Nuthin't to gain from it (especially if you don't put the volume closest to you), 'cept that it looks different. It can be kinda cool to have the volume knob a little closer, and without the switch in the way. But I don't find that to be a problem anyway.

Get a piece of wire and do it right.
