Hi Gents.

Is there a way to reverse EMG quick connect volume pots for us fortunate left handed folk?

I notice they have left handed pots available on their website (https://www.emgpickups.com/parts/pots/25k-vol-lh.html) and was wondering what the difference is, they must be internally wired the other way???

Is there a way to achieve this with the standard pots? https://www.emgpickups.com/parts/pots/25k-volume.html
I have already tried reversing the quick connect lead polarity at different connections in the hope to reverse hot and ground to the pot however have not had any luck.

You would need to use the solder pads, and reverse the connection to the CW and CCW terminals. Problem is, if it's audio taper, your taper will be backwards.

Then again, if really didn't want to solder, you could use three of the dual-pin connectors, and put one on pins 1 & 2 for ground. Pins 3 & 4 for output, and Pins 5 & 6 for input.
