<p>Just depends on you and your style of playing.</p>
<p>If you like to rotate the volume/tone knobs for effect, then you want them close to the bridge. If you don't use them like that then anywhere they're out of the way and look decent.</p>

<p>I once knew a guy that drilled the volume pot hole too close to the edge, it hit the frame and wouldn't close. Heh, heh. I ( mean HE) had a fun time fixing that one!</p>

<p>In all seriousness . as long as they are not where they interfere with playing or strumming or palm muting etc .. have at it . note . some folks like the volume closest to the strings to do "volume swells" etc .. </p>
<p>If building for someone else , ask them their preference .</p>
<p>If building for yourself .... Have fun with it .</p>
