Just had to trade which terminals of the volume pot that the pickup and switch were connected to. See image below. Do same thing to both volume pots.
Note: it does change the feel of the volume pots when mixing both pickups. Adjusting the volume of one pickup makes a more drastic change. Where before I would have to bring the neck volume down to 4 or 5, I now only have to bring it down to 7 or 8 to get the same result, so you have less precision in your mixing of the pickups, but much more range (because you can bring it down to 0).
I guess it's also important to note that now both tone pots affect the sound of both pickups even when one pickup is turned all the way down when using both pickups, where before, the effect of a tone pot would relative to the volume of the pickup, but still effect both pickups.
I think I'll take advantage of this and turn the tone knob for the neck pickup into a HPF instead of a LPF. It's pretty rare, if ever, that I actually use the tone knobs, and I feel like it's more often that I would prefer to take out some of the low end of the neck pickup than remove the high end. I'll do that one tonight. Should be about as quick and easy as this mod was. I'll report back on how it sounds.
