Okay, people, help me out here. I have a Telecaster which I love to bits, and which I therefore don't want to get rid of. However, ever since I bought it 15 years or so ago the control plate has irritated the hell out of me. The pick-up select switch is too close to the volume control, so that it you try to flick away from the lead pick-up quickly mid-song your finger catches the volume control and turns the guitar down. Now I cannot believe that I am the only person on the planet who has spotted this flaw in Leo's otherwise wonderful design. I also can't believe that there isn't someone somewhere who manufactures modified control plates with the controls set a little further apart. Anyone know anything? Or does anyone have any neat little tricks - finger yoga excercises?! - for operating the switch without hitting the volume control? The only suggestion I've had so far is to fit a Strat 5-way switch and block off the back two, giving a 3-way select on which vertical is the back position. Clever idea, but can we do better?
