I’ve done that before. Worked out well with a Duncan JB pickup. That was back in my “Metal” days. I’ve also gone the opposite direction and used 500k pots with some overwound Strat pickups.
Remember gang, there are no absolutes.
IMO- Those budget Heritage guitars look like junk. If you’re going to make a budget/import line of guitars, do it like PRS does. Sad to see Heritage risking cheapening the brand. But then again, it’s not 2015 anymore.
There’s one at Sweetwater. I believe it was 8lbs. 14oz.

Will be nice when they start hitting the used market.
