I've just bought a Tele that's had the control plate reversed and I want it put back to the original position.
Is this an easy fix I could do myself? I'm not too keen on soldering to be honest.
Cheers.

So no soldering involved?

Thanks @ICBM I'll take it off when I get home and have a look.

Quite a few people have said that, but I've been playing Teles for so long with standard controls this is confusing me.
Instant Speedy West, Roy Buchanan and Greg Koch stunts.
The other problem with it reversed is that you can't just quickly knock the switch (intentionally) from neck to bridge with the side of your hand when you want to suddenly boost your solo sound.

This came up before @ICBM but the use of a toggle switch to take the volume control out of circuit is an effective way of boosting your solo sound. Simply set the solo sound, engage the switch to enable the volume control and use the volume control to set the level of your rhythm playing. It works for all three selector switch settings and ought to be standard on most guitars......

You would also have to find somewhere to drill a hole for the switch.
