Squier tele custom II PU's

Hi all,
I recently bought a cheap, used squier tele custom II. I didn't play it for very long at the sellers house, but it sounded fine to me. However, when I play it in our rehearsal studio, I can't really get any tone. The guitar sounds very dark and somewhat muddy, even with the treble turned all the way up (and when I plug in my regular tele with that setting, my ears start to bleed )

Anyway, I'm not that familiar with P90's but is there anyway I can modify this guitar to get more treble? I'm thinking about rewiring it with new components. I don't know if there's a 250 or 500k pots in it but if it's 250 maybe I can change it to 500?

Does anyone else have this guitar? Is the muddyness in the PU's? They are Duncan Designed, do they have the same specs as real duncans except where they're made or are they completely different pickups?

I don't want to spend too much on this guitar (there are others...) but Tonerider has a set of P90's that are affordable and avaliable in my local store. Are they any good.

Sorry, that was a loooooooot of questions, but any input would be appreciated.

Thanks!
