I updated this guitar toward the end of last year with some Benson custom pickups - which are freaking awesome BTW. I did this without upgrading the original 250K pots. Although i like the sound, i think the neck pickup is too dark hitting that pot, which is why i want to have it see a 500k pot. Everything has just arrived in the post for the pot upgrade and i am going to follow this wiring diagram, second one down utilising a 500K resistor to "fake out" the pot for the bridge pup to see 250K.
My question is if i want to reverse the control plate to have the volume closest to my hand, what is the best way to go about doing that. Do I re-draw the wiring diagram flipped around and pots moved? Or is it easier to wire up everything with slightly longer wires, follow the diagram as is and then flip after everything is connected? Anyone done something similar? I'm typing at you @McCreed
