I finally recieved and installed my TV's, re-wiring on the pot lugs for independant volume control per pup. Awesome! -'nuff said.
The more I play it, the more I kinda feel the tone pot is in the wrong place. It just "feels" like both volumes should be stacked, and the tone pot to the rear, ala on Les Pauls. It's maybe because I have one, but it's also that way on my Telecasters- tone to the rear (some have it the other way around, I know)
Anyone else feel this way?

Now the kicker is I've rarely used my tone pot. It really only became noticeable to me after the TV's and the lug switch. It's opened up so many sounds! When I do it's actually in the best place since the Bigsby arm can get in the way. Same for the volume knob- I rarely use it, but if I did that arm would then be in the way. I guess I need to make myself use the Master more for volume. Makes better sense to have both (properly height-adjusted-for-sound) pups have equal volume anyways, so you aren't suddenly loud when switching positions. I'm still too used to my other guitars without a master.

Anyone switch the bridge volume and tone postions and like it enough to recommend all the trouble? No, I don't wanna ream out a new position by the selector.

Nah. You're overthinking based on your experience with other guitars. Relax and enjoy the Gretsch for what it is. The familiarity and comfort with the control layout will come.

I gotta think your right. I think it's that I'm used to non-tremelo-armed guitars, and that Bigsby arm is HUGE compared to the Squire (Fender) trem I sometimes screw in.
Gotta bend my mind more Gretschy!!

I think its all too preference based. To me the tone pot is the furthest to the back... but thats because I'm not looking @ my guitar. its in the same spot where the bridge tone pot is relatively on a LP.

I played a Peavy T-60 which had the tone controls across from the volume controls rather than under them like on an LP.

Its relative.
