Telecaster controls - Like em or not?

I too didn't like the layout from the factory. I turned my plate 180 degrees & now the order is like this:

3-way switch nearest Jack (rear)
Tone in the middel
Volume nearest the neck (front)
BTW- I'm a Lefty and those are Glendale Saddles

Well theres your problem, your stuff is installed upside down/backwards.

Ain't it the truth! But if I play in front of a big mirror I'm back to normal. Now if I can just find my left hand chromatic tuner . . . . . . .

I bought a set of the finest Strat PUPS from this guy and now look what he has!

That's pretty smart too. Kinnman stuff is awesome.

I still don't understand why it's so difficult to just drill the holes closer together. Who needs that kind of room between the knobs? Do the companies think all Tele players have pudgy fingers of something?

I like this idea. I think I'll try it too.

Hey FenderMojo, was there enough slack in the wiring to just flip it ?

thanks

When I watched the Brent Mason Podcast I noticed that he had his control knobs further from the switch and closer together.

Not for every wire but, but it was moot for me-while I had it "out" I replaced all pots and cap with an upgrade kit from RS guitarworks. It even came with a Hoveland yellow cap!!!! Now my Seymour Vintage Stacks really come to life and no hum either!
