Has anyone relocated your knobs?

The volume knob on my Jazzblaster is, frankly, in the wrong place. I need it to be where I can grab it with my pinky and do volume swells while resting my hand on the saddles. Anyone else have this issue or addressed it?

Examples with pics please! Thank you.

Yes. I was super frustrated with the position of my jazzmasters volume knob. I made a custom pickguard and installed a jaguar control plate. Looks awesome and is out of the way of my strumming:

the knobs on my main jazzmaster were moved back by the prior owner. i find it way more comfortable. if i do volume swells, i just use my volume pedal but i do change the volume/tone quite a bit.
