Treble bleed circuits. They work great on my main guitar, but I spent some time plugged into a capacitor and a resistor box dialing in exactly what I wanted as I was cranked through an amp at stage volume. Still my most dynamic sounding guitar I have. You have to spend some time trying different values out to get the most out of it. The boxes make this a whole hell of a lot easier. The 'standard' values you find people using is a great starting point, but may not be the best for your setup. Keep that in mind.

50's wiring is also an option that helps with this if you don't want to go with a treble bleed.

great info here. Thanks
 
I dont like treble bleeds. They thin out the tone. Good cables and a short cable run to my pedalboard work better, for me anyway.

I agree, they can thin out the tone too much. That's why I used the boxes to dial mine in. If you just try a handle of different values, you may get lucky and find a nice balance, maybe not.
