So I have a reissue thinline tele, and was wondering about the pots. I understand that switching out the stock 250's to 500's is pretty common upgrade. I'm happy with my current tone and wanted to know if changing the pots made a significants change in tone. If so then what. I usually hear that it really "opens" up the pickups. Does that mean it makes them brighter or clearer. If anyone out there has thinline tele with this upgrade could you post a recording of it clean? That would be awesome!

Do you have a '69 Thinline or a '72 Thinline?

The '69 has single coil pickups and the '72 has humbucking pickups.

Generally 250k pots are used with single coils and and humbuckers get 500k pots.
