I "need" to wire a Tele with separate volume controls for each pickup, and the best available concentric pots are 500K/500K or 500K/250K. I saw this SGF string about upping values:

In search of the info about lowering values, I found this:

It appears as though you can drop 500's to about 300 with some 1/4watt 750K resistors - anyone have any experience with this? Does it affect the tone sweeps too? I am looking to use a 500/500 for volumes to a 3-way, then a master tone with a 250K linear pot and a .047uf cap. I really "need" another guitar, natch....
It's OK to answer if you don't know doodly - natch - but it's OK for me to not pay attention unless you do - hey aren't we liberals easy to get along with.... :hello2:
