Hello, I have a Partscaster with a Squier Strat body and a Jackson Style Maple Neck & fretboard 22 fret with .009 - .042 nickel wounds strings and a bridge Seymour Duncan TB-4 JB Trembucker wired to an Alpha push/pull volume pot, 500K I'm pretty sure.

Haven't been playing it because it's really bright and ice picky and I think the pot is bad because the sound cuts in and out when rolling the volume knob up or down whether it's pushed in or pulled out. I bought a Mojo Tone CTS Push-pull Potentiometer - Short Shaft - 250k online @ Sweetwater a while back and I need to have it installed. I don't think there is anything wrong with the wiring but then again, I'm no guitar tech.

Someone was saying on a 250k pot for the JB to add a 333k resistor from the hot lead to ground. What does this do sound-wise? Also any suggestions for capacitors what would work good with the guitar?
 
I use Emerson Paper in Oil Caps in all my guitars ...... love them ..... can't answer your resistor question .... usually when there's resistors present in a guitar it's to make the " treble bleed " circuit
