Likewise on my Aria.
I hit the switches on those too. And reversing the plate just makes it worse, because then the volume control is right in the way.
The best control arrangement for me is the PRS one with volume, tone, and the toggle switch behind the bridge - that way I never hit anything I don't want to, but it's easy to adjust the volume or flip the switch when I do want to.

It seems that if they have the control to only play some strings without playing others they'd also be able to control their hands from hitting the switch, they'd just have to unlearn their habbit.
I've never had the problem but until about 5 years ago I'd only ever played a Strat so I learned to strum with that switch being there.

Lowering my expectations has succeeded beyond my wildest dreams.
It also lets me automatically take the tone controls out of the circuit entirely in positions 2 and 4, which I love.
I hate that the superswitch breaks the connection when you switch though, so the signal is interrupted when changing pickups. If there were a way around that (and the stiffness, actually) I'd have one on in all my Strats.

Is it at gig volume that it's problematic?
