The volume is pretty close, but it used to be closer. On the original pickguard from my 750 it was right on top of the bridge pickup.

The selector, on the other hand, is in the absolute best spot, IMO. Right where you can get to it quickly, unlike some other guitars where it's on the other side of the pots. I wouldn't have it anywhere else, in fact I've sold guitars because of the 5-way switch being somewhere else.

I got used to it with that pickguard, picked up a newer RG and was surprised by the volume knob being that far away. Now that I have a "modern" placement pickguard on it, it's not a problem for me at all.

I would get a plug, ditch the tone, put the volume there, plug the hole, live without a tone. I've seen guys leave the knob off to get it outta the way.

That's on plus about pickguard mounted controls, you can just get another 'guard with stuff moved around.

IIRC the RG7620 had the knob further away than even recent RGs.
