As long as there’s a little flexibility in the cap leads it won’t be unreliable, and it’s also the easiest and cheapest to wire up in a mass-production environment, since there is no extra wire used. I would guess the second reason is why Gibson did it like this, but the first may have been a consideration.

Can you do the volume treble pass/bleed trick with that layout, though? The one with the cap from the middle lug of the volume to the unused lug on the tone pot? I like to use that type of treble bleed usually...
There's a bigger problem with it. I suspect I'd be too scared to attack an expensive Collings with a soldering iron, but if I did, it would let other people see the standard of my soldering work...
