Re: 1 Meg tone pot
Mostly, yes. It's a good idea, and will make the tone pot more dynamic. Remember to use an audio tapered pot.

The advantage is less wiring.
Makes it sound a hair brighter, and a tad louder. (Like having the volume knob on 11.)

Guitars without even so much as a volume pot are rare. Some Hawaiian lap steels are like this. Tony Levin's custom-made three-string Don't Give Up Stringray bass guitar had no control knobs. Adjusting them whilst wearing Funk Fingers would have been like using chopsticks. :scratchch

Re: 1 Meg tone pot
I just know some people use them and it has to be for a reason. Both of Jerry Cantrell's G&L Rampages that he uses for everything only have a volume pot, no tone. His Rampages are his favorite guitars. Then most Charvel San Dimas models only have a volume knob too.
Only way I've heard people describing it is that it gives the tone a little more oomph which is pretty wide open to interpretation honestly.
