FWIW I'm thinking of removing the tone pots and caps from all my guitars...I think they only worsen the sounds anyway. I have them on 3 or 4 guitars I think, right now...I think they might sound better without the tone pots...and I don't recall a single time I've ever used tone controls on my guitar. If I have tried, it has been trying to make it brighter, never darker. Never met a guitar that was too bright or even bright enough to start with.
