This may be something that has been discussed at length, but I am not sure we have seen a definitive answer.
Does G&L use actual left handed (reverse audio taper) pots in these guitars or do they use right handed pots (i.e. standard audio taper) wire backwards?
The former is what I am hoping that they use as it is the only one that is truly functional for a lefty.
However, I wonder if it is the latter that they use since the taper seems to have little or no effect for the majority of the sweep.
Any input would be appreciated?

No, they use the same pots used for right handed models. Which means that you would turn them counter-clockwise to turn them up. They should functionstheri88 wrote:This may be something that has been discussed at length, but I am not sure we have seen a definitive answer.

the same as the right hand models.
Also, use the Search function. I used the keywords "lefty +pots" to find previous posts regarding this topic.
Hope this helps.
