1meg pots can be pretty bright when turned all the way
up, especially with the US vintage ri pickups, which
are also bright. I use 250K pots on my Jags except for
my stock '63. I think the stock Japanese pots are
1meg., but of quetionable quality. The japanese jag
pickups are pretty cool for all-out distortion sound.
Not classic rock at all. I used those for the Slim
Jims commercials a few years ago.
