Strat Volume knob is reverse.

I wired up my strat with a jb humbucker, single volume single tone, and the volume pot works backwards. So basically its all volume or none. They are the U.S. strat volume/tone pots.

I followed this diagram to the T.

Any suggestion? I gutted the thing no switches or other pots.

hmmm I think their diagram might be wrong. Im gonna reverse the 2 outer terminals and leave the middle one alone. They should indicate if your looking at it from the top or beneath it.

This looks correct if you are looking at it from the bottom. (With the gob of solder showing.)

Have you tried pouring beer on it yet?

I've used Seymour Duncan diagrams on a strat before (I prefer the pictures to actual wiring diagrams being thick) and I'm pretty sure the pots are of the bottom view. The tabs indicate that I thought. It's only the pickup that's top down
