I understand what you mean, but the stock pots are not all that great and can make a big difference when swapped out so I thought I'd mention it. Is it wired modern or 50's style? Probably modern if it's still stock, you could always play around with that to. Let me know if you need any wiring diagrams.

Ok, thought maybe it had the mini's they are usually brighter sounding. You know a good set of 500K CTS pots might help out things tone-wise as well as swapping out the caps. I would think .022's would be what you want with those Humbuckers. Even .015 neck and .022 bridge.

No problem bro, what's in that F-bird mini humbuckers?

Greetings, I would not go any darker than say .033 bridge and .022 neck. From my experience I also prefer the paper in oil caps for a nice Fat warm, smooth Tone vs the Orange drops.
