"Some guitars lose high end when their volume control is turned down. One way to solve this problem is to solder a .001 mfd capacitor between the input and the output of the volume pot (the two tabs that AREN'T soldered to the pot's case). This trick, borrowed from old Telecaster wiring, actually makes the sound brighter when you turn down.
"Changing the pots can also change the tone. In general, going to a higher value pot will make the sound brighter (changing from a 250k to a 500k, or from a 500k to a 1 meg), and, conversely, changing to a lower value pot can roll off high end."
