Treble Bleed Mod: Duncan vs. Kinman [PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION BELOW]

UPDATE: SOME COMMENTERS HAVE POINTED OUT THAT MY RESISTOR/CAPACITOR VALUES ARE NOT CORRECT. I HAVE THOUGHT LONG AND HARD ABOUT WHETHER TO PULL THIS VIDEO, BUT BECAUSE ITS CONCLUSION--NAMELY, THAT EVERYONE SHOULD EXPERIMENT AND FIND WHAT WORKS FOR THEM--REMAINS TOTALLY VALID, I HAVE DECIDED NOT TO. I AM NOT A YOUTUBER, AND I DON'T MAKE MONEY OFF OF THIS (OR ANY OTHER) VIDEO. JUST KNOW THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO GO OUT AND TRY THIS MOD YOURSELF, THIS VIDEO SHOULD BE MERELY ONE POINT OF REFERENCE. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH AND FIND YOUR OWN VALUES, RATHER THAN RELYING ON THE ONES HERE. CHEERS, EVERYONE!

This is how I chose a treble bleed mod for my American Deluxe Stratocaster. Note that the pickups in the Strat are Klein S-5's in a pickguard from the folks at 920D. The amp is a Carvin MTS 3212, which has high headroom.

The key takeaway from this is that everyone's guitar is going to sound different. If you are going to do a treble bleed circuit, don't just buy the $45 tone save from Fender. Don't just have 920D put one in your new pickguard. Get the parts and experiment and do it yourself. Because the circuit will work differently based on your playing style, preference, pickups, pedals, etc., it is important to experiment and get what works for your situation. I hope the resistor and capacitor values here can give you a starting point.

Many thanks to my 11-year-old son for indulging his dad and shooting the video!

And many thanks for your patience in watching it. It isn't easy to make one of these videos. Sorry for the length. But my philosophy is to finish and then figure out how to improve the next time. Perhaps the next one will be more concise.
