          I've disconnected the tone pot on a few of my guitars, as well as basses. makes them brighter, yes, but not alot more brighter. its just a tad really. like turning an EQ knob half a number up.

          you shouldnt be using a 250k pot, i agree.

            IIRC, the original 70s telecaster deluxes had 1 meg pots to go with the wide range pickups. They also sounded VERY bright. Try those as your tones, and see if you can find "the magic icepick!"
