I've played a Rickenbacker 330/12 with the octaves reversed, and the difference in sound was very dramatic. But the question remains as to why someone would want to mess with a good thing, especially since there are other ways (flatwound strings, for instance) of getting the same or better treble and chime. The broad consensus seems to be that the factory low/high configuration is the way to go. But even the purists here need to be careful not to pass judgement on those who do things differently. Each of us has a different set of ears, and there should be no stigma to setting up a guitar in an unorthodox way.
