Re: lefty wiring help

Why would you need to mirror anything?

It's just that the 3 pots and the 3/5-way would be on the right instead of the left side of the (reversed) pickguard but that's it.

Everything else will be exactly the same.

If you go thru the wiring diagrams on the site scroll thru the humbucker list and go to 2 humbuckers, 1 volume, 2 tone, 5 way with splits. That's the diagram I am gonna be using. My question is do I have to solder it differently or use the diagram the way it is.

EXACTLY the way it is, lead for lead, screw for screw.

Lefties instruments are a Righty instrument mirrored in everything BUT the electronics.
The only thing different with the electronics is their position (NOT orientation) in relevance to the strings.

EVERYTHING else remains exactly the same (after all, electricity doesn't understand about lefty or righty)
