The balance of my project arrived in today's mail and I get the pleasure of puting the little guitar together tonight! (with a strat PU until my Lollar arrives)

The question is: Did Fender put the volume control in the forward most hole of the control plate or was the tone control mounted there? I am calling the forward most hole location the one closest to the nut.

Any takers? Thanks in advance,

Rich

Fender did the volume toward the nut, and the tone toward the bridge.

When you wire it up, make the wires long enough to rotate the whole assembly around... I always run the tone control forward- its in the right spot to do boo-wah tone swells. If your wires ar elong enough (but not too long) you can switch it either way you like.

Dave, I did exactly that. I'll be getting the Lollar PU shortly and will make a permanent install(tone in front) using push back wire so at least it looks original.

Thanks for the input!
